Method
- The shuffle keeps the season’s shape: the games are cut in two where one date leaves the least variance, each game is read against its stretch, and the sides are shuffled only inside each stretch.
- Who played is read from the schools’ box scores’ participation lists for 18 of these 22 games; in the other 4 a player is counted as in them when the box score has a stat for him.
- 3 games in 2024 are neither with Maurki James nor without Maurki James: Maurki James had no game for the team that season, and sit out.
