Fantasy Football Players Caught Advantage of Associative Analysis during 2008 Season
Radnor, PA (USA) – December 19, 2008 – As the fantasy football
season comes to a close this weekend, avid fantasy players are hoping
that the last 15 weeks of drafting, building and fine-tuning their
fantasy teams ends in a league championship. Instead of spending hours
gathering, organizing and analyzing player data to run their teams,
users of SportsDataHub.com, powered by QlikView,
spent the 2008 season making better decisions and gaining a competitive
edge based on easy-to-use, innovative football analysis. Key Facts: Launched this past August, SportsDataHub.com, provides interactive
football data for enthusiastic sports fans and fantasy players through
QlikView point-and-click visualization tools and a comprehensive
database of every pass, run, catch, kick and punt in the NFL since
2004. The site leverages QlikView advanced data analysis technology to
make football data analysis easy, convenient, fun, flexible and more
productive. Over 2,000 SportsDataHub.com registered users are
analyzing football data the way their minds work — forward, backward
and sideways. As their questions change, so do results — in real
time. Unlike static fantasy football data sites, SportsDataHub.com
offers QlikView analysis, ultimately enabling users to manipulate
personalized, interactive, graphical charts that make comparisons
between players easier to understand and more accessible. “At SportsDataHub.com, the power of QlikView self-driven analysis
with easy-to-use visualization tools empowers fantasy football fans to
make more educated decisions about which players to draft, how certain
coaches are likely to perform, and which players to start/sit each
week.” said Kevin Goodfellow, Founder of Sports Data Hub. "The Sports Data Hub products are among the most innovative and
valuable fantasy football research and analysis tools for fantasy
players to come on the market in the last 10 years," said Clay Walker,
Executive Vice President & GM of Fantasy Sports Ventures. As a business leader, if you are developing a playbook for the 2009
season, the very same point-and-click analysis technology that powers
SportsDataHub.com can empower your organization’s business users to
make better decisions faster — and immediately impact your bottom
line. Over 10,000 customers around
the world are strengthening their competitive position by using

(BI) tools. QlikView simplifies analysis for everyone — whether you

conventional BI applications depend on specialized expertise within IT
departments, QlikView puts analysis in the hands of everyone on the
