It looks like the Analytics competition has the same External Data rule as the ML competitions:
\n\n\n\n\n(7. COMPETITION DATA) C. External Data. You may use data other than the Competition Data (“External Data”) to develop and test your models and Submissions. However, you will (i) ensure the External Data is available to use by all participants of the competition for purposes of the competition at no cost to the other participants and (ii) post such access to the External Data for the participants to the official competition forum prior to the Entry Deadline.
\n
So, I figured I'd create this thread to serve the same purpose as @addisonhoward 's ML Competition External Data/Pretrained Models Disclosure Threads, where he said
\n\n\n\n\nPost links to your external data sources here before the deadline specified in the rules. Once it has been posted, you do not need to post it again.
\n
For reference, here are links to his ML Competition External Data/Pretrained Models Disclosure Threads:\n- Men's\n- Women's
\n\nThere are lots of good things in those reference threads (e.g., links to kenpom ratings, links to historical Vegas lines, etc.).
