After a long hiatus, I'm pleased to announce that we're running another #SportsVizSunday challenge!
As a reminder (it has been a while), the #SportsVizSunday challenges are an informal opportunity to test what you can create with a curated dataset. For each challenge we provide sporting data to focus on and we want to see what amazing things you can find hiding inside. When you've created your masterpieces then post them with the hashtag #SportsVizSunday and we'll round them all up for the end of the challenge.
September's challenge has two datasets to choose from! (You don't have to use them both and you can add your own data too).
1) Netball team statistics from the Netball World Cup. This dataset includes player and team-level data for the whole of the World Cup e.g. goals, attempts, interceptions, as well as the overall finish position for each team.
You can find this data on our github here:
2) Women's World Cup match data. This is a dataset provided by Statsbomb and contains a veritable mountain of in-match data for each game. Access to it is through R or Python and it would also be a great way to try out some of CJ's blogs and tutorials about creating football visualisations, if you've been waiting to give them a go.
For more info, check out Statsbomb's page here including instructions how to access the data for the first time (and please make sure you credit Statsbomb as the data source for whatever you create).
CJ's tutorials can be found on his website:
To give you time to really get into it, we're going to run this until the end of October and then we'll do a roundup and review. You can submit as many things as you like to the challenge, and we actively welcome entries of all skill levels and experience!
Happy vizzing!
The #SportsVizSunday team
The topic Visheshan is very useful for understanding Hindi grammar. Learning the different types of adjectives helps students improve sentence formation and use descriptive words more accurately in writing.
Understanding Sarvanam Ke Bhed becomes much easier when examples are included. The different types of pronouns help improve sentence structure and make Hindi grammar clearer and more interesting for learners.
The explanation of Sangya Ki Paribhasha is simple and helpful for understanding Hindi grammar basics. The examples make it easier to identify nouns in sentences and improve overall language learning for students and beginners.
Understanding Viramchinh is important for clear and correct writing in Hindi. It helps readers understand the meaning, pauses, and emotions in sentences, making communication more effective and improving overall language skills.
I'm so glad I took the time to read this, because it answered a question I'd been wrestling with for weeks. The explanations are patient without ever being slow, and detailed without being overwhelming. Each idea builds naturally on the last. I came away with a much clearer understanding than I had before. There's real care behind every section. I'll be sharing it widely. Truly well done.
