Team files contain MLP's published event standings and PKLStats' arithmetic on the official games (matchup and discipline win-loss, points for/against). points_for/points_against = MLP matchup points earned (all games incl. DreamBreaker). scope values: regular_season_9_events, mid_season_tournament, playoffs, all_2026.

Match data from MLP's official results feed; tour-based starting values from public PickleWave results; PKLStats' own model.
