First Claim
1. A method for operating a platform to provide a virtual sport league for a sport activity, the sport activity including a course and the virtual sport league including a season and a plurality of competitors, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor of a first computing device, a first performance submission of a first competitor, wherein at least a subset of the first performance submission is electronically captured by a mobile device associated with the first competitor, as the first competitor participates in the sport activity, and is transmitted from a mobile device to the first computing device;
wherein the first performance submission comprises, at least one of;
a first course performance submission for the sport activity participated by the first competitor anda first training performance submission associated with a performance profile of the first competitor;
accessing, by the processor of the first computing device, competition data for one or more first scheduled sport activities associated with the first competitor, wherein the one or more first scheduled sport activities define a part of the season for the first competitor in the virtual league;
determining, by the processor of the first computing device, a ranking of the first competitor among the plurality of competitors within the virtual league associated with the first competitor,wherein the ranking is based at least in part upon an overall performance score of the first competitor with respect to one or more overall performance scores corresponding to the plurality of competitors, andwherein the overall performance score of the first competitor is determined based in part upon an individual performance score specific to one of the one or more first scheduled sport activities, wherein the individual performance score is determined based on either i) a performance submission of the first competitor for the one of the one or more first scheduled sport activities or ii) a projection of a performance result of the first competitor for the one of the one or more first scheduled sport activities; and
causing, by the processor of the first computing device, the ranking of the first competitor to be graphically displayed on the mobile device.

Abstract
The present disclosure describes a platform that allows individual users to compete against other users in a virtual league. The platform allows individual users to maintain personal performance statistics, which, collectively, are used to determine a projection result of the user'"'"'s performance in a competition within the league. The platform employs projection result, in combination with, or as a substitute for, results associated with a real race completed by the user, in the scoring of the user against other competitors in the league.
