Value

A tibble. Its columns are school (samba school name), year

(samba school parade rank), school_remarks (remarks on the samba school parade), parade_location (samba school parade location), parade_date

About this data

This tibble has some confusing entries. One of the reasons: the competition changed a lot in the course of decades as perceived by the fluctuating number of schools, years where multiple competitions were held, and competitions with ties in the rank (when there was no criteria to break them).

Another reason are plain errors. Many entries have missing data. Some are highlighted as "Enredo não registrado" or "Resultado do desfile não registrado". Total scores may diverge from the final rank because of assessment errors.

These issues are rare or have low severity, meaning that the data is reliable. Although, one should pay attention to the parades remarks in the dataset itself and those from get_remarks() in order to get a better grasp of the happenings of a given year.
