Ahead of our 4th of July battle for 1st place in the West, we talk to our UFA rivals from the Salt Lake Shred, Braden Eberhard and Jacob Miller.Braden and Jacob created Shown Space - the best analytics website for the UFA. The goal of Shown Space is to provide advanced analytics beyond simple stats like goals, assists, and blocks. Taken from the Shown Space website:"We all love stats for the stories they help us tell. Whether it's the arc of a season, the rhythm of a game, or the evolution of a player’s career.But basic counting stats often miss the mark. They ignore crucial details like field position, game state, or whether a throw actually helped a team get closer to scoring. Not all completions are equal — and not all turnovers hurt the same.Maybe you're a Frisbee fanatic on the hunt for the next data point to prove your theory on player impact. Or maybe you're a die-hard sports fan craving the Ultimate version of football’s EPA, one of basketball’s model-based plus-minus metrics, or baseball’s WAR.Shown Space is our attempt to bring rigorous statistical and machine learning methods to Ultimate, measuring how every pass, reception, and block impacts scoring probability. By intrinsically accounting for key context like time pressure and resets, we can create novel metrics and fresh perspectives for player evaluation and beyond.We're just getting started, and some of our favorite and most ambitious features are still on the way."Checkout the Shown Space website here:https://shownspace.com/More from Pod Practice:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podpractice_podYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@podpractice_podEmail:
