A Former Townsville Bulletin Sports Editor Who Played a Key Role in The
A former Townsville Bulletin sports editor who played a key role in the establishment of the North Queensland Cowboys has called for major changes at board level to get the struggling club back on track. Doug Kingston, who floated the idea that North Queensland should have a Winfield Cup (now NRL) team in a story in the Townsville Bulletin back in 1989, called and chaired the first meeting, and worked on a voluntary basis to help get the team into the national competition, believes the current Cowboys board appears to have lost sight of the core reason the club was established. "Unless major changes are made in the composition of the Cowboys board the club faces a bleak future," Kingston said. "The secrecy surrounding the board of directors gives rise to suspicion that it is a closed shop, which has lost sight of the core reason the club was established. "During the past few weeks I have tried, unsuccessfully, to find out just who is on the NQ Cowboys board. My quest to identify the current board members included numerous Google searches and an email to NQ Cowboys chairman, Lewis Ramsay, requesting details of board members and the procedure for appointment of board members. I also asked Mr Ramsay if any of the current board members were elected by a vote of club members. "Mr Ramsay replied that these matters were ‘confidential’. Kingston then wrote back to Mr Ramsay saying: "In the absence of your advice to the contrary, I will assume that the Cowboys Leagues Club currently owns the North Queensland Cowboys football club/team, having acquired it in 2015 from News Limited.

Stadiums Taskforce Report
4.0 Stadiums Queensland Business Model >> Stadium Taskforce - Final Report 61 4.0 Stadiums Queensland Business Model The SQ business model is the way SQ coordinates and strategically manages its asset portfolio responsibilities. The SQ business model takes into consideration items such as SQ’s approach to market testing and outsourcing of services, as well as to the shared support services for the organisation and portfolio and to SQ’s role in stadium planning. At a venue level, the SQ business model incorporates SQ’s consideration and determination of the preferred management approach for each of its venues, taking into account specifics of the asset, the use of the venue and historic operations. SQ’s intent of applying its business model is to implement management arrangements that maximise the likelihood of individual venues and the portfolio as a whole, operating as efficiently as possible. SQ achieves this by employing a variety of venue management, venue operations and venue hiring models, in addition to portfolio-wide arrangements. Market Testing and Outsourcing As a matter of business policy, SQ consistently tests the market to establish whether services are more cost effective if delivered on an outsourced basis. SQ is incentivised to do so because of customer requirements (hirers and patrons) to contain costs so that attending venues for patrons remains affordable. The Taskforce understands that a majority of SQ business is historically outsourced, including stadium services such as ticketing, catering, security, cleaning and waste management and corporate business functions such as audit, incident management, insurance and risk management. The final small percentage of services are directly delivered by SQ if it is more cost effective to do so, or if the risk to the Queensland Government is more effectively managed.

Rugby-Bot: Utilizing Multi-Task Learning & Fine-Grained Features
RUGBY-BOT:UTILIZING MULTI-TASK LEARNING & FINE-GRAINED FEATURES FOR RUGBY LEAGUE ANALYSIS APREPRINT Matthew Holbrook Jennifer Hobbs Patrick Lucey STATS, LLC STATS, LLC STATS, LLC Chicago, IL Chicago, IL Chicago, IL [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] October 17, 2019 ABSTRACT Sporting events are extremely complex and require a multitude of metrics to accurate describe the event. When making multiple predictions, one should make them from a single source to keep consistency across the predictions. We present a multi-task learning method of generating multiple predictions for analysis via a single prediction source. To enable this approach, we utilize a fine-grain representation using fine-grain spatial data using a wide-and-deep learning approach. Additionally, our approach can predict distributions rather than single point values. We highlighted the utility of our approach on the sport of Rugby League and call our prediction engine “Rugby-Bot”. Keywords Mixture Density Network · Multi-Task Learning · Embeddings · Rugby League · DVOA 1 Introduction For the past decade in sports analytics, the holy grail has been to find “the one best metric” which can best capture the performance of players and teams through the lens of winning. For example, expected metrics such as wins-above replacement (WAR) in baseball [1], expected point value (EPV) and efficiency metrics in basketball [2, 3] and expected goal value in soccer [4] are used as the gold-standard in team and player analysis. In American Football, Defense- Adjusted Value Over Average (DVOA) [5], is perhaps the most respected and utilized advanced metric in the NFL which utilizes both an expected value and efficiency metric, and analyzes the value of a play compared to expected for every play and also normalizes for team, drive and game context.
