Patent ID: 8121712

Claim:
A system comprising: a recorder device configured to monitor games and record data corresponding to events that occur during the games, wherein the events include at least runs scored from scoring position and individual base runners that reach scoring position from a single at-bat; a server operatively coupled to the recorder device and configured to receive the recorded data from the recorder device, wherein the server is further configured to receive a request from a user for a scoring efficiency for a team over a specific interval of time, wherein the specific interval of time is identified in the request; a memory operatively coupled to the server and configured to receive the recorded data from the server and to store the recorded data; and a processor operatively coupled to at least the memory and the server and configured to: receive the request from the server; determine, based on the recorded data stored in the memory, first data representative of a total number of runs scored from scoring position by the team over the specific interval of time and second data representative of a total number of individual base runners from the team that reached scoring position from a single at bat over the specific interval of time; and determine the scoring efficiency of the team over the specific interval of time by determining a ratio of the first data to the second data; wherein the server is further configured to receive the scoring efficiency from the processor and to provide the scoring efficiency to the user in response to the request.
