Claim 13:
14. Apparatus comprising a non-volatile machine-readable medium storing a program having instructions which when executed by a processor will cause the processor to:
communicate with a plurality of anchors placed within a facility, the anchors in fixed positions following a calibration procedure reliant upon ultrawide band communications and with a plurality of movable tags, attached to individuals and/or objects used to play a sport within the facility; and
using the plurality of anchors, in two-way-ranging communication with the plurality of movable tags, to track movement of the plurality of movable tags within the facility;
communicate with a plurality of calibration tags, placed at predetermined positions relative to a space having parameters of known dimensions within the facility;
use the predetermined positions of the plurality of calibration tags to determine a placement of each of the plurality of anchors; and
store the placement of each of the plurality of anchors, thereby completing the calibration procedure, to enable tracking movement of a subsequent set of movable tags within the facility,
wherein the instructions further cause the processor to convert a selected one of the plurality of anchors into one of the plurality of tags or one of the plurality of tags into one of the plurality of anchors.
