Does it carry?

No week-to-week carry-over is published for this measure. Its file holds a value per team with its interval; whether a week above average carries into the next is not in it.

What the file does and does not say

Four limits, stated plainly.

  1. Interval from resampling games with replacement, 2,000 times. Built at 95%. That coverage is nominal: this page does not check it against outcomes.
  2. n counts independent games, never rows. A value resting on fewer than 5 games is shown muted in the table and not read: it is left out of the range and the leaders.
  3. It covers 1999 to 2026, and says why in the producer's words: the whole archive, 1999-2026; no input binds it.
  4. It has values for 32 teams. One with no row in the file has no value here, which is not a value of zero.
