Systems and methods for manipulation of outcomes for virtual sporting events

A method comprising:

• generating a set of complete virtual sporting events, wherein each complete sporting event comprises a possible combination of event segments, the event segments being identified based on event-specific constraints, each event segment corresponding to a time segment of the respective complete virtual sporting event;
• determining an outcome of each complete virtual sporting event in the set of complete virtual sporting events;
• obtaining audience input, over a network, from a plurality of client devices associated with a plurality of audience members, wherein the audience input indicates a desired outcome;
• selecting a complete virtual sporting event as a chosen virtual sporting event based on at least the desired outcome and the outcome of each complete virtual sporting event;
• and
• mapping virtual event data to selected event segments in the selected complete virtual sporting event.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors, memory, and one or more programs stored in the memory, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:
• identifying one or more event segments as a set of valid event segments for a given time segment of a virtual sporting event based on event-specific constraints;
• determining an outcome category for each valid event segment of the set of valid event segments, wherein the outcome category for each valid event segment indicates an outcome of a play corresponding to the valid event segment;
• obtaining audience input, over a network, from a plurality of client devices associated with a plurality of audience members, wherein the audience input indicates a desired outcome for the given time segment;
• selecting a valid event segment as a virtual event segment for the given time segment based on at least the desired outcome and the outcome category for each valid event segment;
• and
• mapping virtual event data to the selected virtual event segment.
