A CLI toolkit for DBB basketball league analysis

What is this?

A zero-dependency Python CLI that parses HTML from the DBB (Deutscher Basketball Bund) legacy JSP platform and gives you:

• 📊 Standings — full league table with points, differentials, averages
• 🏀 Team drill-down — game-by-game results, sparklines, quality metrics
• 📅 Schedule — with back-to-back detection, filtering, pending games
• 🔮 Predictions — efficiency-model-based final standings forecast
• 🥇 Top N — quick leaderboard with ASCII bar chart
• 📥 Download — fetch fresh HTML data directly from basketball-bund.net
• 🔧 JSON output — pipe-friendly --json flag for all commands

---

Finding your Liga ID

The --ligaid value comes from the liga_id parameter in the DBB league URL:

https://www.basketball-bund.net/index.jsp?Action=103&liga_id=51187
                                                           ^^^^^
                                                           this is your liga ID

Copy the number after liga_id= and pass it to --ligaid.

How Predictions Work

The predict command estimates final standings using a multiplicative efficiency model:

Factor	How it works
Offensive rating	Team's scored points vs. league average (>1.0 = above avg)
Defensive rating	Points allowed vs. league average (>1.0 = worse defense)
Recency weighting	60-day half-life — recent games count more
Recent form	Last 5 games blended at 30% weight into ratings
Home advantage	3% scoring boost applied symmetrically
B2B fatigue	≤36h between games → 5% offense/defense penalty
New teams	<3 games → ratings blended toward league average
No draws	Ties broken by home advantage (basketball has OT)
No double-counting	Already-played games excluded from schedule scan

🧠 Skills

The skills/ directory contains reusable AI skill definitions — structured prompts that can be loaded by an AI assistant (e.g. Roo/Cline) to run analysis workflows using the CLI.

Skill	Output	Description
SKILL_TEAM_ANALYSIS.md	Paragraph	Short team summary (position, identity, form, outlook) — ready for a webpage card
SKILL_LEAGUE_TOP_N_ANALYSIS.md	Table + paragraph	Predicted final standings table with a brief explanation

Both skills accept a LANGUAGE parameter (en/de/es) and return output directly (no file saved). To use a skill, point your AI assistant at the markdown file or load it as a skill definition.
