The ASA’s education initiative, ThisIsStatistics, has launched its Statsketball Tournament for 2018, a contest that encourages high-school and undergraduate students to use statistics to predict results for the NCAA Basketball Tournament.
Statsketball consists of two contests. The first is the “Pick ‘Em”: Upset Challenge, where students submit a list of 32 winners for the first-round games. The second contest is the “Build Your Own Bracket”: Draft Challenge, where teams have 224 draft points to assemble a cohort of teams from the seeded participants.
Entries for both contests are due by March 14 at 12:00 p.m. ET.
