Sports Inviter Bot

Bot compiles multiple Google calendar invites with game, weather and player trip details for different teams involved in the tournament

Problem to Solve:

To make life easier for people organizing and / or part of teams involved in various outdoor team sports/games (e.g. cricket, baseball, soccer, football, field hockey etc. ) to plan and prepare in advance to participate, track, notify and report on ‘who’, ‘what’, ‘when’ and ‘where’ information of different games in a league or tournament.

About the project:

The Sports inviter bot will read input Excel files on team, schedule, player & venue details and compile a Google calendar invite with event / game details, weather details (openweathermap API)and player trip (Google Direction/map API) details for the players of different teams involved in the game or tournament.

Value:

Reduce the time taken and manual effort on repetitive tasks to communicate game details, improve quality by removing manual error and increasing stakeholder satisfaction in whole process of participating in the games.

1. Game Organizers: Improve team’s participation in the tournament/league. Having all the games schedules in a Calendar will help them better organize and communicate changes to the games. For instance, assume a tournament has 5 different divisions A, B, C, D & E and each division has 10 teams. Having 5 Google calendar for each league will help the Organizer to access different data of the tournament. 2. Team Captains/Mangers: Team captains don’t not have to manually share game details and track each team member’s availability. 3. Team members (including captains) : Single source of information on all upcoming games including venue, weather and trip details in one place and automatic reminder for the game.
