WHAT TO BUILD

The Core Project: Build a software application, web application, interactive dashboard, or predictive model centered around sports analytics, with the flexibility to choose any sport you wish.

Data: Your project must utilize some form of sports data (e.g., player tracking, team statistics, sports business metrics, or injury data) to formulate analytical insights to solve a sports-based problem

This hackathon is an open-source competition!

WHAT TO SUBMIT

Judging Criteria

  • Analytical Insight
    How well did your project dive into the data. How statistically sound were your methods? How accurate was your data modeling? Discovering actionable insights is highly favorable over surface level statistics.
  • Practical Application
    Could a coach, front office, or athlete benefit from your findings? The project should solve a real gap in sports analytics, such as improving player performance, injury risk reduction, or enhanced game strategy to name a few.
  • Data Presentation
    How well was the data communicated? How clear was the data delivered (visualizations, dashboards, charts, etc), as well as the individual(s) ability to pitch their discoveries clearly and concisely to an audience that would not be as technically sound.
