Abstract:
|
Many statisticians and programmers have written simulation programs to simulate sports events based on the statistics of the participants. However, this problem becomes much more complicated when one is simulating not simply one game, but attempting to encompass the entirety of a sport. This poster will present an overview of the many challenges that must be faced and the questions that must be answered in order to create a complete and convincing simulated college basketball universe, in which everything from recruiting and in-game tactics to a national tournament and an NBA draft are included. The issues faced in simulating games based on traits of fictitious players rather than actual statistics of real players will also be addressed.
