Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media provide opportunities for non-participants of an event to participate in the event as virtual event participants. According to various embodiments, virtual event participants are provided with available actions for the actual event participants that may be chosen by the virtual event participants. The results are analyzed and an action is selected and presented to an actual event participant or directly implemented. Success data corresponding to the selections of the virtual event participants is tracked and may be used during subsequent participation opportunities to select virtual event participants and to weigh selections by the virtual event participants.
