Digitizing UPA Championship Statistics for Release to the Public
By: Alex Peters
UPA Grant Award: $250
Project Summary
Statistics are taken for the semis and beyond of all UPA championship events as mandated by the board of directors, but have only been released to the public in the form of stats from the finals of Nationals in the
Ultimate News magazine. The stats are compiled on paper and stored by the UPA. These papers need to be sorted through and digitized in a manner that can be more easily available, accessible, and searchable by the public, as well as for the UPA's own records. The project will meet the following conditions:
- The compiled data will incorporate all divisions for which the UPA has statistics;
- The UPA will forward the records in batches, starting with most recent events;
- Data will be formatted according to UPA specifications;
- UPA will make these statistics available to the public; and
- The UPA will retain all rights to the information.
