Welcome to this year's Big Data Bowl! We're so excited to once again work with the NFL for the fourth consecutive year, and the Big Data Bowl for a second year in a row. They've always been great hosts and the competitions have continued to be not only engaging, but have often lead to NFL teams interested in the work and output of Kagglers for their teams. See last year's competition for those results.
\nSimilar to last year's competition, this year is an analytics challenge based on Special Teams performance. If this is your first analytics competition, I'd encourage you to see Notebooks Grandmaster John Miller's excellent write-up on tips and tricks for making a great analytics submission, as well as the top solutions of last year's Big Data Bowl.
\nThe types of questions the NFL is looking to see examined are provided on the Evaluation page. Please note that list is not comprehensive, nor is it meant to be a guide for you to try and specifically answer (or address all the questions). All special teams-related examinations are fair game.
\nAs a reminder - Submissions must be made public at the competition deadline to be considered eligible for scoring (The NFL has to be able to actually see your hard work!), and there is a separate category for university students should you choose to enter.
\nBest of luck, and happy modeling!
