Sunday’s conclusion of the first-ever Sports Hack Day certainly reinforced a simple fact: infinite opportunities exist at the crossover between sports and technology. 

More than 20 groups demoed their sporty-geeky-techie apps and data crunches at the HUB Seattle in front of five judges from the Seattle startup scene.

“I’m totally astonished by what you guys did this weekend,” event organizer Carter Rabasa told the group of 100 or so.

Adam Kramer, Ravi Ramineni, Matt Perry and Sarah Rudd won “Best Overall App” for “Project Submarino,” a data hack that identifies soccer teams that are suffering from missing players due to preventable injuries. Pulling data from SportsData, the app analyzes muscular and joint injuries for each team in the English Premier League.

The difference between finishing 17th versus 18th in the EPL can cost a team an estimated $100 million, and this data could help teams pay more attention to how they deal with certain injuries. All four members of “Project Submarino” won a Nexus 7, as well as $100 per month of Cloudant credit for each team member for a year.

Hard to believe this weekend is already over. Major props to Rabasa, Jon Rooney and the rest of the organizers. Seemed like everything from the food to the Wi-Fi to the event itself went super smoothly. I’d imagine Sports Hack Day II will be going down in the near future.

This was my first-ever hackathon. I’ve been documenting my experience from Day 1 and Day 2 about my team’s effort to build an app that shows side-by-side comparisons of football players today versus when they were in college. We’re seeing how much head sizes have grown, a telling sign of a performance-enhancing drug user.

I learned a lot about hackathons, teamwork and my own perceptions this weekend. Check back tonight for the final “Sports Hack Day Diary” piece as I reflect on how well my team worked and how little sleep we got.
