Data Source: play.usaultimate.org, USA Ultimate's official stats platform.

Scope: All bracket and pool play games from USAU Club Nationals across Men's, Women's, and Mixed divisions from 2015–2025.

Turnovers: Calculated as the sum of throwaways, stalls, and drops for both teams in each game. Some games have incomplete stats (noted in the "Missing Stats" column).

Turnovers vs. Ds: Defensive blocks (Ds) are tracked separately from turnovers. A D is when the defense knocks down or intercepts a pass. This causes a change of possession but is credited to the defender, not counted as a turnover by the offense. This means a game can show 0 turnovers but still have multiple changes of possession due to Ds.

Missing Stats: This column indicates incomplete player statistics. For each team, if they scored 15 points, there should be exactly 15 goals in the G column and 15 assists in the A column. If the recorded goals or assists don't match the final score, the difference is flagged as missing stats. For example, if a team won 15–12 but only 13 goals are recorded for them, 2 stats are missing.

Limitations: Not all games have complete statistics available. Games with missing data are included but may undercount actual turnovers. Statistics are crowd-sourced and may contain occasional errors.
