Abstract:
1. A method for correlating at least one weapon firing event to at least one scoring event comprising: (a) receiving at a first computing device, for a first scoring event at a target, a time at which the first scoring event occurred, a location of the target when the scoring event occurred, a direction of a reference direction associated with the target, and an angle of incidence for a projectile associated with the scoring event at the target with respect to the reference direction; (b) receiving at the first computing device, for a first weapon firing event, a time a which the first weapon firing event occurred, and a location where the first weapon firing event occurred; (c) calculating at the first computing device an angle between a reference line extending the from location of the first weapon event to the location of the first scoring event, and the reference direction; (d) comparing at the first computing device the time of the first scoring event to the time of the weapon firing event to obtain a first comparison result; (e) comparing at the first computing device the angle of incidence for the projectile to the calculated angle to obtain a second comparison result; and (f) identifying at the first computing device, based on the first and second comparison results, whether the weapon firing event and the scoring event are an unambiguous, one-to-one pairings.
