I love the presentation. If I can be a complete jerk, but improvement is based on feedback, etc., a couple of modifications: * edit the lower values (2% or less, especially at the center) to reflect unlikely but possible events: most people (rightfully) assume that 0% means: not possible, as in, against the laws of nature. Very unlikely is more 0.1 or 0.01%; it’s a huge hassle, but from experience those are worth all the days spent on that -- I've done it enough times in LaTeX, R and D3.js to know… * use the team colors for the tone; it's cheesy, but fans would love that; * use the likelihood to reach that point as an opacity factor: opacity is a fairly intuitive way of expressing something. Finally, if you want newspapers to re-use it, make version with a black and white background. Yes, I should do all that myself, rather than comment… Yes, it would be easier for you all to comment before I gather the courage and try.

Would also love Hover to show the name of the team. I don't know all the logos.

  it's on the TODO list, just haven't gotten there. ALSO the data is there in the JSON, it would be easy to file a pull request over that way ---> :)

D3 has a nice formatting helper functions: > d3.format('.2%')(.223) "22.30%" https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Formatting https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Formatting It'd also be cool if mousing over the inner circle updated the coloring of teams, showing their probability of reaching a certain game.

  Indeed — but the thing is to make that conditional with the size of the number and not mess up with the layout. Doable, but it's the kind of thing that makes a great presentation hours away from a usable one. As for the highlight… Yes, I though about that, but it makes things complicated: you have to decide what threshold to cut, and sport team fans are very passionate, so that would ostracise the remaining teams.

I implemented the team hover color. Sent a PR

Those are all on the list, but I wrote it yesterday and there's obviously a time-based component to getting it out the door :)
