This list, along with an important note on multiple prize eligibility can be found in the Official Rules.

As a reminder, here is the main requirement for the challenge:

WHAT TO BUILD

Build a working method (API, notebook, working web application) for a League of Legends Global Power Ranking system using the esports data provided by Riot Games and at least one AWS service.

The working method must provide the following outputs:

  • Tournament rankings - provide team rankings for a given tournament

  • Global rankings - provide current rankings of all teams globally

  • Team rankings - provide rankings for a given list of teams

WHAT TO SUBMIT

  • Access: Provide a public URL to your working method (API, notebook, working web application)

    • For submissions via API: We recommend submitting an API that will allow judges to evaluate rankings. If you choose to go this route, please use the following methods and response model. For more guidance, review this document.

  • Project: Provide a URL to your code repository to show how your project was built. If your code repository is private, please provide access by sharing it with: testing@devpost.com, riot-esports-hackathon-rg@riotgames.com, and aws-riotgames-hackathons@amazon.com

  • Demo: Include a video (should be about 3 minutes) that demonstrates your submission. Videos must be uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo, or Facebook Video and made public.

  • Methodology Write Up: Should include a short explanation of the methodology of the ranking system, including any other data sources used, and participant(s) findings and learnings as they worked through the project.

  • Tooling: Include an explanation of the AWS services used to build the project.

  • Optional Tagging: The AWS platform enables you to assign custom tags to your resources. A tag is a key-value pair applied to a resource to hold metadata about that resource. Each tag is a label consisting of a key and an optional value. Not all services and resource types currently support tags (see Services that support the Resource Groups Tagging API). We recommend that any infrastructure you launch be tagged with “key: power-rankings-hackathon value: 2023”.

Good luck and happy coding!
