1st Annual Best Ball Data Bowl

Hi all,

Over at Fantasy Data Pros, we are hosting the first annual Best Ball Data Bowl with the help of Underdog Fantasy and Peter Overzet!

Below is a brief summary of the competition. You can find full competition details here.

The 1st Annual Best Ball Data Bowl is a data analysis competition where you'll analyze data from the previous three Best Ball Mania seasons to provide actionable insights for the upcoming BBM4 tournament. The goal is to improve community strategies for large field tournaments like BBM by gaining insights into optimal drafting strategies, player performance, matchup analysis, and portfolio management.

Submissions are a notebook (either in R or Python) and are due July 1st. On July 15th, 5 finalist submissions will be announced and finalists will be able to present and support their findings on Peter Overzet's YT channel in August.

Prize will be announced May 1st, but will be a combination of cash + merch.

Ben
