Abstract

Nowadays, the coaches of various sports disciplines use analytical tools to process the game data, analyze the behavior of their team, individual players, and build efficient strategies based on the strength and weaknesses of the competitors. Considering its global scope, time limitation, complexity of tasks, ranking, and medals, IOI can also be considered as an intellectual sports contest. With the direct relation to Information Technology and sports, the statistics of the IOI contests need to be analyzed to deliver better results, initate changes in the preparation strategy and increase the quality of the event as well. This paper provides a statistical analysis based on the last on-site IOI and shares insights on each of them.
