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, Errors, Kicking & Passing, Breakdowns, Ball Carries and Tackles. Click any number and the clips it was counted from open in a drawer. 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. The Teams tab in Coach view, for team-specific collated data.
  2. The Players tab in Coach view, 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.
