Working on #SportsAnalytics is always exciting as we always love what we are doing. It gives us a passion for research. Sajana came to me as a final year #Statistics (special) undergrad student. He is a university colours holder in #Taekwondo. His research problem was appealing: "how can we develop a Sri Lankan player ranking system in Taekwondo?" The motivation of the project is to overcome the drawback of using the current world ranking system which is discouraging for players who might win challenging games with higher ranked players. We introduced a #Bayesian Elo rating model which can be modified with the type of the tournaments for ranking Sri Lankan Taekwondo players. The proposed model can even be used as an alternative for the current world ranking system. Sajana's work is highly appreciated, specially in creating a dash board to make the end result more user friendly. His hard work paid off. Our paper is recently accepted for publication in IEEE journal.
