PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Thuuz Sports, the most powerful automated video highlights production platform for worldwide sports, today announced their Top 10 most exciting games of the decade, an eclectic mix that included a memorable Australian Open Final to a pair of MLB game winners and beyond. Thuuz culled data from over 254,000 events during the decade to build the list.
"We all have our memorable moments, but what we have been able to do, and do every day, is measure the overall excitement in a wide range of sports events to produce this very special list," said Warren Packard, Thuuz CEO. "This amazing cross section from around the world shows the global nature of sports fandom and provides us with a unique snapshot on what really made hearts pound the last ten years."
Using their custom designed algorithms to measure real-time event excitement, Thuuz provides a unique look into what games have gotten fans the most excited and engaged through the close of 2019.
The game excitement ratings are measured on a 0 to 100 scale and take into consideration game pace, team parity, play novelty, momentum shifts, social buzz, and historical context. The algorithms behind the excitement ratings are statistically calibrated to insure the appropriate distribution of ratings across the duration of a season or course of a tournament.
