Project Summary

An initial client’s request to our company was to create a digital solution which could allow him to process files with data on his favorite sports team’s games. The files were heavy, contained lots of details which were constantly updating with every game the team had played. Manual processing of all this information was too tiring and time-consuming.  

The information which was necessary to be processed, was related to all events happening on the game field, on all the players. This data allowed to analyze players’ behavior, dynamics, their current state and efficiency on the field. With a user-friendly interface, it becomes easier to analyze and plan a team’s game before the game happens.

Business Challenges

As the project is very specific in its idea and data types, there were lots of various challenges related to its implementation. The most significant of them was to speed up the file processing. 

Due to a large file dataset, the initial file parsing took 14-16 hours before the system started showing query results, and after each game, the file needs to be updated (several times per week). As the team is one of the leaders in their country and type of sport, it plays many games, and it could take significant time to analyze every update. 

The goal, at the later stage of development, was to speed up the processing time and provide the coaches and team players with analytical data as soon as possible.

Solution

System development has passed through several stages — from a simple, but clear and comprehensible MVP design with basic functions, to a complicated multi-functional full-scale analytical system even with video comments for received events, which allows to review game video history, analytical data on games, and obtain detailed information about chosen strategy for the next game. The system can provide with the following data: 

  • player efficiency parameters;
  • player comparison with rating;
  • events on the field in real-time etc. 

If in an MVP version it was possible to analyze only previous games, at later stages predictive functions are already available. Real-time game data are input live and processed promptly. 

It is also possible to analyze not only the team for which the product was created, but also their opponents’ efficiency and results, with the goal to develop game strategy and tactics, ensuring better playing results. The system keeps data for all competitions and teams, analyzes positive and negative trends to pay attention to when you play against this team. 

Design 

Solution design was performed by our company from scratch, and the main goal of this work was to provide as clear display of the systematized data as possible. Initial MVP design was reworked completely at the later stages, and it still is really user-friendly and comprehensible despite many functions added to the system throughout the years. 

Design includes lots of various tables, graphs, diagrams and other ways of visual display of team or player efficiency. 

Development 

Some part of system functions related to game result analytics was developed by the client himself as he was deeply involved into the processes inside the team and their interests. Basic logic of the system was created by the client, too. Our team added more functionality, worked on improvement of the data processing, further functionality extensions, and additional option implementation. 

Key Features 

At its present state, the system allows doing the following: 

  • parsing and analyzing data; 
  • review team results and efficiency on the field displayed in suitable format – tables and graphs; 
  • obtain detailed review of the team by game parameters and by players; 
  • review player’s individual results; 
  • sort team history data by years; 
  • review event history on the field; 
  • compare efficiency of different teams and their strategies; 
  • export results in CSV, Excel and PDF formats to print them; 
  • view game videos uploaded after each game and analyzed by defined parameters with breakdown by events. 

Result 

Now, the sport team system has passed through many updates and interations and is a convenient analytical tool helping coaches and players get their goals and simplify cooperation inside the team.
