Datapoint and Calculation Definitions

For a full breakdown of every event type’s definitions and calculations used across Framesports, visit the Definitions page.

Where the stats live

Open an analysed match session and the tabs down the left-hand side hold its stats (training sessions have none): Match Summary, KPIs and Momentum for the match; Overview (the player table, one row per player) and MVPs for individuals; then 22m Entries, Restarts, Lineouts, Scrums, Penalties, Knock-ons / Forward Passes, Kicking & Passing, Breakdowns, Ball Carries and Tackles. Click any number and the clips it was counted from open in a drawer. An Own number opens your team’s clips and an Opp number opens the opposition’s. For breakdown turnovers won, that means the turnovers each team won. If only your team was analysed, the opposition’s tackles, carries and turnovers won are worked out from your own plays (each of your carries is one of their tackles), so those Opp numbers open the clips of your plays they were counted from. A number on a player board opens that player’s clips. A percentage opens every attempt it was worked out from, the ones that went wrong as well as the ones that went well. For example, your lineout success rate opens all your lineouts, each named Lineout Won or Lineout Lost. A zero has no clips, so you can’t click it. The lineout Mauls number, the back-to-back numbers, the knock-ons leading to an opposition 22m entry and a player’s 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th+ ruck arrivals also can’t be clicked, because no single type of clip shows what they count. The Momentum chart runs from the first play to the last, however long the match lasted. Its minutes match the time in the session’s video, so a key moment at 71’ is at 71:00 when you watch it. In the Players tab, use Filters to narrow by team, position, competition, season, session or date. Customise columns chooses which columns show (drag a column header to reorder them) and has the Normalise per 10 minutes switch (each stat as a rate per 10 minutes played). Compare puts up to five players side by side (see Comparing Players). Click a number to see how that player ranks against everyone in your current filter, and to open their clips for that stat. Save current view (the + in the views row) keeps your filters, sorts and columns. The Teams tab has Filters, Customise columns and saved views for teams, and a dashboard per team covering the last 5, 10 or 20 games.

Multi-Match Data Analysis

This can be viewed in three places:
  1. Teams in the left-hand menu, for team-specific collated data.
  2. Players in the left-hand menu, for a player database with multi-match player-specific data.
  3. Any player’s IDP (their individual profile page), which collates that player’s multi-match data.

MVP Scoring

The MVP score is a weighted composite of all tracked events. Positive actions add points; negative actions deduct points. This can give a great indication of overall player effectiveness across multiple sessions by looking at their average MVP points scored per minute. The weighting can be customised by your account admin in team settings, so you can edit the scoring weights to reflect what you value as a club. For example, you might value tackle completion more heavily for forwards and passing accuracy more for backs.

Editing MVP Scoring Weights

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Go to MVP Calculations.
  3. Edit the score weightings directly.

Expected Values and Benchmarks

Framesports builds expected values for teams and players based off a variety of factors and complex algorithms, including gender, location, style of rugby, level of rugby, and a range of other information.

Exporting Data

This can be done by:
  1. Going to Sessions and clicking on the session in question.
  2. Go to the Settings page within the session and open the Export tab.
  3. Click Download CSV or Download XML. (Exports become available once analysis is complete.)
To work with your data in Excel or Google Sheets, download the CSV and open it there. A CSV opens directly as a spreadsheet. There’s no separate Excel, PDF, or PowerPoint export. See Exports and Downloads for everything else you can download.

Missing Match Data in Visualisations

This is likely an issue to do with Framesports not linking the match with your team name. Check if the team name entered into the session in question is correct by doing the following:
  1. Go to the Sessions tab and click on the session in question.
  2. Click Settings and look at the team name.
  3. Click on your team name and check it’s the right team name.
Note: Pay attention to any subtle differences in the naming which could be causing collation issues. It must be the exact same team name to collate accurately.
