Abstract:
An automated objective American-football evaluation system may include an American-style football, at least one sensor carried by the football, and electronics. The electronics arranged to: (a) receive strings of sensor signals from the at least one sensor, wherein the characteristic of the throw of the football determined by the electronics; and (b) output throw quality. The throw quality is based upon a combination of at least two throw characteristic determined based upon the received string of sensor signals associated with a throw of the football. The at least two throw characteristics are selected from a group of throw characteristics consisting of: velocity; spin rate; time-of-flight; angle of attack; release angle; cone angle; nutation angle; spiral efficiency; and spiral decay.

Claim (Index 20):
The apparatus of  claim 17 , wherein the electronics are to further output a thrown ball catchability of the throw of the football by determining an endpoint of the throw of the football, wherein the thrown ball catchability is based upon a composite of at least two of: velocity, distance, spiral efficiency, spin rate, and spiral decay as determined from just those portions of the strings of sensor signals received during the throw immediately preceding the determined endpoint of the throw
