Abstract: A computerized method and computing platform provides for managing a skill-based competition including receiving event rules including competition set-up rules and authentication a competition set-up prior to competing. Upon validating set-up, the method includes capturing, via the recording device, a video feed of the first user competing in the skill-based competition. A local processing engine can therein analyze the submission to either prepare it for network transmission or determine if network transmission is warranted in relation to other competitor submissions in the competition.

Abstract: A computerized method and computing platform provides for managing a skill-based competition via network-based submissions. The method includes providing event rules across a communication network to a first user, the event rules relating to competing in the skill-based competition. Via the communication network, the method includes receiving an entry submission from the first user, the entry submission including score data and video data relating to a video feed of the first user competing in the skill-based competition. The method includes analyzing the video feed of the first user competing in the skill-based competition using at least one photogrammetry processing technique, including validating if the first user was in compliance with the event rules while competing in the skill-based competition. Based thereon, a verification score is compared with the score data and the method manages a leaderboard data set as part of managing the competition.
