Guidelines for the SoccerNet-v2 challenge

The 1st SoccerNet-v2 Challenge will be held at the official ActivityNet Workshop at CVPR 2021! Subscribe (watch) the repo to receive the latest info regarding timeline and prizes!

SoccerNet-v2 is a large-scale dataset build upon SoccerNet that benchmarks the tasks of action spotting, camera shot segmentation / boundary detection and replay grounding. SoccerNet-v2 is composed of 300k manual annotations, span 500 complete soccer games from six main European leagues, covering three seasons from 2014 to 2017 and a total duration of 764 hours.

We propose the SoccerNet-v2 challenge to encourage the development of state-of-the-art algorithm for Generic Soccer Video Understanding. It is composed of 2 tasks:

  • Action Spotting: Spot the actions on a complete video of soccer game.
  • Replay Grounding: Ground the timestamp of the actions represented in a specific replay.

We provide an evaluation server for anyone competing in the SoccerNet-v2 challenge. This evaluation server handles predictions for the open test set and the segregated challenge set.

Winners will be announced at ActivityNet Workshop at CVPR 2021. Prizes 💲💲💲 include $1000 cash award ($500 for Action Spotting and $500 for Replay Grounding), sponsored by Second Spectrum.

Who can participate / How to participate?

  • Any individual can participate to the challenge, except the organizers.
  • The participants are recommended to form a team to participate.
  • Each team can have one or more members.
  • An individual/team can compete on both task.
  • An individual associated with multiple teams (for a given task) or a team with multiple accounts will be disqualified.
  • On both task, a particpant can only use the video stream as input (visual and/or audio).
  • To help the participants, we provide pre-extracted ResNet-152 visual features at 2fps.
  • A particpant is allowed to extract its own visual/audio features with any pre-trained model.

How to win / What is the prize?

  • For each task, the winner is the individual/team who reach the highest performance on the challenge set.
  • The metrics taken into consideration are the Average-mAP for Action Spotting and the Average-AP for Replay Grounding.
  • The deadline to submit your results is May 30th at 11.59 pm Pacific Time.
  • The teams that perform best in each task will be granted $500 from our sponsor Second Spectrum.
  • In order to be eligible for the prize, we require the individual/team to provide a short report describing the details of the methodology (CVPR format, max 2 pages)
