In this simple project we are going to plot a map of the team of the American Ultimate Disc League. Specifically, we are going to color states (but excluding teams in Canadian pronvinces) according to how many teams reside there.

Here are the first 10 entries in the data, of the 22 USA-based teams.

##                      Team        City.Area First.Season
## 1          Atlanta Hustle      Atlanta, GA         2015
## 2              Austin Sol       Austin, TX         2016
## 3         Carolina Flyers       Durham, NC         2015
## 4           Dallas Legion       Dallas, TX         2016
## 5           Houston Havoc      Houston, TX         2023
## 6           Chicago Union      Chicago, IL         2013
## 7        Detroit Mechanix      Detroit, MI         2012
## 8  Indianapolis AlleyCats Indianapolis, IN         2012
## 9        Madison Radicals      Madison, WI         2013
## 10   Minnesota Wind Chill   Saint Paul, MN         2013

We extract the state from the city column, then count the teams by merging on the state.

We hope you have enjoyed this presentation.
