  • 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, which name every player who entered the game.
  • 3 games in 2024 are neither with Maurice Turner nor without Maurice Turner: Maurice Turner had no game for the team that season, and sit out.
