Missing Participation Data [wontfix]

[firstprinciplescode]

Hello - very quick question: at the end of last season the participation data for games outside of TNF / SNF / MNF / playoff games was unavailable. I checked the load_participation information for 2024 -

part_nfl <- load_participation(c(2024), include_pbp = T)

and there was nothing. Is there a status update on what participation data, if any, will be available this season.

As of now it looks like the data source closed completely. We will see if there's a chance to get back primetime games at least. But at the moment it looks like it's gone.

there is no pbp_participation_2024.parquet file! @mrcaseb are you saying that there will never be pbp data for 2024?

Yes, there won't be participation data. At least we don't expect the data source to return. https://x.com/john_b_edwards/status/1832091502895579354
