Drama score

A 0–100 rating of how dramatic a match was, built from its win-probability replay: how far the final result's probability fell during the game (30%), equalisers and go-ahead goals (20%), the biggest swing after the 75th minute (20%), how open the outcome stayed from the hour mark (20%) and total goals (10%). Grades S to D use the same fixed thresholds in every league and season, so roughly the top 5% of matches earn an S.
