Abstract: The technology provides a method and system of analyzing a sporting activity. An example of the technology involves one or more processors receiving location data associated with a first player and location data associated with a second player, wherein the location data of the first player and the location data of the second player are derived from one or more sensor devices; detecting a game event associated with the first player; determining, in view of the received location data, a plurality of locations of the first player and at least one location of the second player; and classifying the game event based on the plurality of locations of the first player and the at least one location of the second player.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of analysing a sporting activity comprising receiving location data associated to a first player; receiving location data associated to a game object; receiving location data associated to a second player; determining a relative location of the first player in relation to the game object location and the second player location, at least partly from the received location data associated to the first player, the game object and/or the second player; comparing the determined relative location of the first player with a set of reference relative locations of the first player; and determining a match between the determined relative location of the first player and at least one reference relative location of the first player. Other aspects of the invention provide a classification system.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of analyzing a sporting activity comprising receiving location data associated with a first player, a second player, and a game object; detecting, by a processing device, a game event associated with the first player; determining, in view of the received location data, a plurality of relative locations of the first player at a time prior to the game event, wherein the plurality of relative locations comprise a relative location in relation to the second player and a relative location in relation to a playing area; and classifying the game event based on the plurality of relative locations of the first player at the time prior to the game event.
