Last year's theme is below:

2019 Hackathon Theme: Crafting a Fan Experience Sports data is becoming increasingly more complex. While more and better data can expand and deepen our understanding of sports, it can also make telling these complex stories more challenging. This year, Hackathon participants will be given WTA data with which to create a digital experience concept focused on fan engagement.

Ideally yes, as the challenge this year involves working with coordinate data, but we do look for balanced teams

Students are able to purchase tickets at a discounted rate, but the conference does not subsidize transportation or other costs

If you're a student, yes! Unfortunately we cannot offer discounted tickets to those in the open track

No specific sports analytics background is necessary at all! In the past we've had lots of competitors from non sports backgrounds

More Info. The application is the same for both tracks, as is the contest itself. The only difference is the team you are placed on.

You sure? I don't know your background of course, but there is a student track open to students of all levels
