I'm looking to hire several people for a part time job. The successful candidate must possess a strong knowledge of basketball and logic, the ability to multitask and attention to detail.
Position Description:
Your job will be to watch NBA games and to record a detailed log of events that do not show up in the box score. You will often be required to utilize your judgment and an in depth understanding of professional basketball is essential. For example, one of the required tasks is to classify every shot taken throughout the course of the game as one of the following: wide open, open, contested, heavily contested. Accuracy and attention to detail are absolutely required.
Compensation:
You will be paid per game analyzed. Each NBA game runs 48 minutes in live action time and it currently takes me roughly 2 1/2 hours to complete a single game. We are shooting to reduce that time frame to under 2 hours by developing an interface that simplifies the note taking process. The amount of time it takes will also vary depending on your concentration level, your ability to multitask, and your APM. A typical qualified and competent person will earn between $10-$12 per hour. There will also be a variable compensation plan tied to your performance which can increase your hourly rate.
I understand that the hourly rate is quite modest, especially when compared to most poker incomes. However, there is significant value in steady, stress free, supplementary income. The hours are also extremely flexible. You determine how many hours you would like to work so this job can easily fit around the other priorities in your life. There is no time and money spent on commuting since you can work from the comfort of your own home. If you are a student you can scale back or even stop all together during exams and take on more hours during your vacations. If you are a low stakes grinder, a little steady income on the side can help you weather a rough downswing.
If you are interested in the position please send me a PM.

I would be more than willing to do this if it was for hockey. Too bad I know nothing about basketball.
shoving here as a bluff at 50NL is like explaning calcalus to a 6 month old cat wtf are you thinking - TalentedTom
@Super & GoTunk. I'm sure you could learn enough about basketball in like 1 hour in order to be able to do this. Just a matter of understanding fully each concept your taking notes on. Especially with a PVR it'll be really easy to just pause, rewind, slow-mo, and see everything.

I find basketball so boring i'll rather aim to hit SNE at nl10 than do this for this specific sport =)
