Computerized method and computing platform for centrally managing skill-based competitions

Abstract

A computerized method and computing platform provides for managing a skill-based competition via network-based submissions. The method includes providing event rules across a communication network to a first user, the event rules relating to competing in the skill-based competition. Via the communication network, the method includes receiving an entry submission from the first user, the entry submission including score data and video data relating to a video feed of the first user competing in the skill-based competition. The method includes analyzing the video feed of the first user competing in the skill-based competition using at least one photogrammetry processing technique, including validating if the first user was in compliance with the event rules while competing in the skill-based competition. Based thereon, a verification score is compared with the score data and the method manages a leaderboard data set as part of managing the competition.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computerized method for managing a skill-based competition via network-based submissions, the computer method comprising:
 providing event rules across a communication network to a first user, the event rules relating to competing in the skill-based competition;   via the communication network, receiving an entry submission from the first user, the entry submission including score data and video data relating to a video feed of the first user competing in the skill-based competition;   analyzing the video feed of the first user competing in the skill-based competition using at least one photogrammetry processing technique, including validating if the first user was in compliance with the event rules while competing in the skill-based competition;   based on the analysis of the video feed, generating a verification score and comparing the verification score with the score data.   
     
     
         2 . The method of claim further comprising:
 updating a leaderboard data set based on the analysis of the video feed.
