Abstract
A method and system for managing a challenge event. At least two participants are selected to participate in the challenge event based on determining that the participants are expected to perform well in the challenge event. Selection of the participants utilizes data elements provided for managing the challenge event. Assets of computer code are provided to the participants for assisting the participants to deliver respective submissions as outcomes of participation by the participants in the challenge event. The challenge event is conducted with the participants.
Claims20
A method for managing a challenge event, said method comprising:
- selecting, by a computer processor, a plurality of participants to participate in the challenge event, said selecting the participants based on determining that the participants are expected to perform well in the challenge event, said selecting the participants utilizing data elements provided for managing the challenge event;
- said processor providing to the participants assets of computer code for assisting the participants to deliver respective submissions as outcomes of participation by the participants in the challenge event;
- and
- conducting the challenge event with the participants.
A computer program product, comprising a computer readable hardware storage device having computer readable program code stored therein, said program code containing instructions which, upon being executed by a processor of a computer system, implement a method for managing a challenge event, said method comprising:
- said processor selecting a plurality of participants to participate in the challenge event, said selecting the participants based on determining that the participants are expected to perform well in the challenge event, said selecting the participants utilizing data elements provided for managing the challenge event;
- said processor providing to the participants assets of computer code for assisting the participants to deliver respective submissions as outcomes of participation by the participants in the challenge event;
- and
- conducting the challenge event with the participants.
A computer system comprising a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, and a computer readable storage device coupled to the processor, said storage device containing program code which, upon being executed by the processor via the memory, implements a method for managing a challenge event, said method comprising:
- said processor selecting a plurality of participants to participate in the challenge event, said selecting the participants based on determining that the participants are expected to perform well in the challenge event, said selecting the participants utilizing data elements provided for managing the challenge event;
- said processor providing to the participants assets of computer code for assisting the participants to deliver respective submissions as outcomes of participation by the participants in the challenge event;
- and
- conducting the challenge event with the participants.
