About This Visualization

The Trapezoid of Excellence identifies teams that combine elite efficiency with optimal tempo. Championship-caliber teams historically cluster within this dynamically-calculated region.

How It Works

X-axis: Adjusted Tempo (pace of play)
Y-axis: Adjusted Efficiency Margin (net rating)
Trapezoid Boundaries: Computed dynamically from percentiles of the filtered dataset
Green Points: Teams inside the trapezoid (championship-caliber profile)
Blue Points: Teams outside the trapezoid

The trapezoid boundaries adjust automatically based on the current season and your selected filters (Conference and Top Teams). This ensures the analysis reflects the actual distribution of teams in your view.
