If you have not read my previous piece on Scott Road being the worst SkyTrain station, I suggest giving it a read first as it will help give better context to the data here.

From late-June until the end of July, I ran a tournament to decide which of the stations on the SkyTrain and West Coast Express systems is the worst. Here is the data if you are at all interested in taking a look.

Challonge data

Challonge does not provide an API, but it did deliver the data via JSON, which is then rendered by the browser locally.

You can view the data I extracted here, which was sourced from this page.

Facebook polls

Assuming you have access to the Facebook group, you should be able to see each poll from these links.

The numbers in parenthesis are the scores they received at the time a snapshot was made. It is likely that some of them have changed since but they’re not reflected in the data provided earlier.
