ESPN and TopCoder Run College Football Algorithm Challenge
Mike writes with a timely link to a story about the ESPN/TopCoder Winning Formula Challenge, a combination of fantasy football and competitive programming. The goal is to write an algorithm to predict the outcome of college football games using a collection of historical data provided by the tournament organizers. The season is broken up into 3-4 week chunks that are used to evaluate the results. Prizes will total $100,000.http://developers.slashdot.org/slash.../08/30/1537208 Read more of this story at Slashdot. http://rss.slashdot.org/~a/Slashdot/...opers?i=uD6Gtv</img>
