Hotspur Labs, Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s corporate venture programme, will co-host the Spurs\u00b2 Hackathon with the San Antonio Spurs, ScorePlay, and TwelveLabs on October 22-23 at the University of Texas at Austin\u2019s McCombs School of Business. The event runs alongside the McCombs Business of Sports Summit on October 23.<\/p>\n
Participants will build on ScorePlay\u2019s platform and open API and TwelveLabs\u2019 video intelligence to address content challenges set by the two clubs. Challenge areas are: an Assisted Auto-Production Engine that uses live data, social media signals, and video AI to identify and create content from game assets with producer approval; and a Rights and Compliance tool that checks assets against league and regional rules, writes verdicts and reasoning to the asset, and shows what can be used, where, and for how long. A student team from UT McCombs will compete alongside visiting teams. Winners are selected by a panel of executives from both clubs, TwelveLabs, and ScorePlay.<\/p>\n
\u201cSports organizations are producing more content than ever, but creating it is no longer the hardest part. The harder problem is knowing which moments matter, who they matter to, where they can be used, and getting them to fans while those moments still have value,\u201d says Charlie Kurian, Director of Strategy and Innovation, San Antonio Spurs. \u201cSpurs\u00b2 gives us an opportunity to explore how AI can help us make more of the content we already create, working alongside Tottenham Hotspur on a challenge that increasingly matters across global sports.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHotspur Labs was built to bring Tottenham Hotspur the best ideas and companies to solve real problems, not theoretical ones. Content and rights management are exactly that for us,\u201d says Rob Pickering, Chief Technology Officer, Tottenham Hotspur. \u201cTaking Hotspur Labs to Austin shows the kind of partnerships and opportunities we want this program to create.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSports organizations have never captured more content, or had less time to use it,\u201d says Victorien Tixier, Co-Founder and CEO, ScorePlay. \u201cSpurs\u00b2 puts real problems from two world-class organizations in front of people who can build the answers in two days.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRights and production look like two distinct problems, but they\u2019re really two sides of the same coin: knowing what\u2019s in your content and what you\u2019re allowed to do with it,\u201d says Jesse White, Global Sports Lead, TwelveLabs. \u201cWe built Spurs\u00b2 around both because that\u2019s what teams actually deal with, and we wanted to see what builders in Austin do when video intelligence is put directly in their hands.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hotspur Labs, Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s corporate venture programme, will co-host the Spurs\u00b2 Hackathon with the San Antonio Spurs, ScorePlay,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":458124,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-458123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/458123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=458123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/458123\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/458124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=458123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=458123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=458123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
