Abstract: Systems and methods for algorithmically arranging contests in a lobby interface are provided. A contest management system can generate, execute and maintain a plurality of contests, such as but not limited to, fantasy sports contests. Rank values can be assigned to the contests using pacing parameters of the contests and profile attributes of users who participate in the contests. The pacing parameters, such as registration ratios and registration deadlines, can indicate if a particular contest is on pace to meet a registration threshold prior to their respective registration deadline. The contest management system can dynamically update, responsive to receiving a plurality of registrations from a plurality of users, the rank value of one or more contests responsive to a change in a registration ratio of at least one contest and arrange the plurality of contests in a lobby interface based on the updated rank values.

Abstract: Systems and methods directed to managing computer resource allocation by monitoring signals indicating demand for services utilizing computer resources are described. A method includes maintaining, for each first event of first events, historical registration data and respective parameter values of the first event and identifying, for a second event having an open registration status, respective parameter values of the second event, and registration data for the second event. The method includes computing a similarity score between the second event and each first event of the plurality of first events, based on the respective parameter values of the first event and the second event and the registration data of the second event and the historical registration data of the first event, generating, for the second event, a projected number of entities based on determined information and determining a ranking of the second event.

Abstract: An insulated bottle includes an inner container having an inner wall that defines an inner chamber within which a product is received. The insulated bottle includes an outer container having an outer wall that defines an outer chamber. The inner container is received within the outer chamber of the outer container. A space is defined between the inner wall and the outer wall. The insulated bottle includes a label shrink wrapped to an outer surface of the inner wall of the inner container. The label is positioned within the space defined between the inner wall and the outer wall.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a personalized lobby interface based on contest attributes and user attributes for one or more users of a contest management system. The contest management system can generate, execute and maintain a plurality of contests, such as but not limited to, fantasy sports contests. Further, the contest management system can maintain a plurality of user profiles with each of the user profiles associated with at least one user. To provide content and/or recommendations to one or user profiles, the contest management system can create one or more personalized lobbies for each of the user profiles. The personalized lobbies can display one or more contests selected by the contest management system that a user associated with the respective user profile may be interested in based in part on their respective profile attributes and/or contest history.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a multidimensional data structure based on fantasy sports account activity are described herein. Processors can maintain user profiles, each user profile having player lineups associated with fantasy sports contests. The processors can identify, for a first user profile, player lineups of the first user profile and respective contests for which the player lineups were entered. Each player lineup including players having players attributes. Each contest having contest attributes. The processors can generate, for the first user profile, a multidimensional data structure including a plurality of features. Each feature can have a respective value that is based on the player attributes corresponding to the players included in the player lineups and the contest attributes corresponding to the contests for which the player lineups were entered.

Abstract: A ground control target includes a solid piece of plastic that is disk-shaped and convex at a top and a center of the solid piece of plastic, to shed water off edges thereof and to diffuse direct sunlight and minimize glare. The ground control target further defines an aperture through the center of the solid piece of plastic through which to fasten the solid piece of plastic to the ground.

Abstract: An insulated bottle includes an inner container having an inner wall that defines an inner chamber within which a product is received. The insulated bottle includes an outer container having an outer wall that defines an outer chamber. The inner container is received within the outer chamber of the outer container. A space is defined between the inner wall and the outer wall. The insulated bottle includes a label shrink wrapped to an outer surface of the inner wall of the inner container. The label is positioned within the space defined between the inner wall and the outer wall.

Abstract: The modular top frame has a plurality of rails that are interconnected with corner members and has a top and a bottom surface between the inner and outer perimeter of the top frame. The corner members are assembled with two corner parts which have an outer side, a central rib and reinforcing ribs. The corner members have retainer pins in pin receiving apertures positioned along and adjacent to the outer side and the central rib so that when the corner parts are positioned one over the other, the retainer pins and the pin receiving apertures join the corner parts. The corner members have improved resistance to torsional and bending stresses. The top frame has an outside and an inside perimeter and the provides an area between the outside and inside perimeter equal to or greater than 48% of area of the outside perimeter.
