Increasing accuracy and lowering labor to combine data from different systems.
WARNING System accuracy appears to be a widely overlooked criteria in sports.
All systems produce numbers to judge performance, but are these numbers correct?
A car speedometer with an accuracy of 20% would be unacceptable.
In sports such inaccuries go un-noticed and lead to a mismatch between the opinion of the athlete on performance, the coach, and the data itself.
One of the reasons to publish the data of many different systems is to provide an overview and proof of the realworld performance of different systems.
What systems perform the best at what cost. For daily use, in the sports arena.
