This project requires scraping play-by-play data in near real-time for both NFL and college football games and placing the required data into a database.
Required data will include:
- Populating upcoming games (teams involved, time/date of game, home team/away team, etc)
- Determining when a game begins and ends
- Capturing down, distance, score, possession, and time remaining for each game every 10-15 seconds
The database will also be structured to include some manually added data, such as division affiliations for teams (AFC West, Big 12, etc), Top 25 rankings, and a large table of data to be used for calculations.
This data will be used by another coder to perform calculations using some proprietary formulas to create live graphs of win probabilities. My time-frame is tight. I need this delivered within 7 days until it's determined ahead of time that this is not possible.
Note: The data source can be selected by the coder. Some possibilities are:
[login to view URL]
<[login to view URL]>
The software may need to find and access the individual URLs on those sites for each game to find the necessary data.
## Deliverables
I am willing to create the database structure for you if it will reduce the bid. Or I will provide an extensive list of the required fields and suggested structure.
Please see the attached requirements document for more details.
