The challenge for Associations
Due to the lack of insights in the quality level of players, there is a mismatch between the strength of a team and league level.
- Playing football on the right resistance level is key for enjoying the game and improving the skills of (young) players
- Currently there is no (objective) index or KPI that supports the allocation of teams to leagues of the right level and often teams are assigned to a league based on results of its predecessors in the previous season
- The process of classifying the teams to the right level of play is time consuming and often in-efficient
- As a result of misclassification, many matches result in a large goal difference. Research shows that the joy of playing football will decrease and the skill development of (grassroots) players is low
The solution: eQuality Index
By using historic match sheet data and a unique algorithm, classification is automated which results in equal leagues for teams, leading to more fun and better development.
- By using match sheet data (historical), we are able to support Sport Associations around the globe in the team classification process, making it more equal, objective and efficient
- Data provider agnostic and one year of match sheet data is already proficient
- Tackles one of the toughest problems federations need to handle: creating equal leagues
- Complete history of every player is taken into account, no information is lost over time
- Able to deal with players of different age categories playing in the same league
- Applicable to Football, Field Hockey, Handball, Ice Hockey, Korfball, Basketball, Rugby, American Football and Volleyball
