Methodology

How ProTriStats works

Plain-language notes about data sources, field strength, rankings, and corrections. The goal is simple: show what is official, what is derived, what is missing, and how recently the data was checked.

ProTriStats is independent and unofficial. Official race organizers remain the source of record; ProTriStats adds structure, search, comparisons and fan-friendly analysis on top.

Sources and freshness

How ProTriStats attributes official sources, timestamps imports, and handles missing data.

Field strength

What SOF means, why it helps compare races, and what it should not be used for.

Rankings

How official rankings differ from ProTriStats-derived form, discipline and consistency rankings.

Corrections

How data issues are flagged, reviewed, corrected and kept visible when confidence is limited.
