And Here are the four hour games by season

    This is awesome and something I have been hoping for, for several years!

    One comment. When searching "all teams" for games of a specific length (say, under two hours, which is what I tried), you get a result that includes BOTH teams for every game in the search. Example:

    Could this possibly be adjusted to eliminate the duplicates?
