Abstract

A system and process for evaluation of athlete performance where the player performance can be evaluated to form a score, ranking, and position and used for any kind of sport and to measure an individual or the entire team as one unit. A user or a team has to answer a set of questions specifically to that sport or specifically to the athlete role/position on the team. Based on those questions, through complex logic the present invention calculates a score and exhibit on a chart for visual presentation. For each question a unit called “Data Field” is formed comprising of logical and mathematical calculation. Each data field is added and the athlete level or score of performance will be displayed visually on graph. The present invention measures the athlete'"'"'s present performance based on various points and is not entirely based on his past record.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented system and process for evaluation of athlete performance comprising the steps of:

receiving data on a plurality of information in the form of questions;

receiving data on a plurality of relationships among the said information;

receiving data on a logical classification of the said information and the said relationships among said information;

applying interpretive logic to standardize the said data;

applying standardizing rules to generate the visual display characteristics of said data based on their logical classification applying values to said data once all entries are complete adding said values assigned to said data

characterized in that the total obtained by addition of said values is the athlete level or score, the visual display characteristics of said score being laid out in a graph.

2. The computer-implemented system and process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the user is presented by said questions depending on his position as part of a team or an individual athlete.

3. The computer-implemented system and process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said information in the form of said questions are one or both of fact/opinion and both individual or comparative.

4. The computer-implemented system and process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said question as applied to an individual athlete may include but not limited to the physical condition, medical issues, psychological condition, last event performance, personal environment, relationship with coaches, legal contract issue, drugs related issues, criminal related issues, media/news controversy, and athletic record.

5. The computer-implemented system and process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said question as applied to an individual athlete may include but not limited to team performance, relations with other team members, effect of other team members on individual athlete performance, effect of the entire team on individual athlete performance, and effect of other positions/role on athlete performance.

6. The computer-implemented system and process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said data field has a unique number assigned by the user and that may be used in a different template.

7. The computer-implemented system and process as claimed in claim 1 wherein a base value or weight is allotted to each said question.

8. The computer-implemented system and process as claimed in claim 1 wherein a logical classification of the said information and the said relationships among said information is made by applying interpretive logic to standardize the said data, said data being presented on a chart for visual presentation.

9. The computer-implemented system and process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said score of each said question may be calculated using said value, or the user entry as a base for the calculations may be used.

10. The computer-implemented system and process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said user can force an answer through applying a value for the entire field irrespective of the outcome of the calculations.

11. The computer-implemented system and process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said user can force a certain line of calculations by entering a value, the answer to that line of calculation being ignored and said forced value being considered for further calculation.

12. The computer-implemented system and process as claimed in claim 1 wherein if the boxes are checked, said user can use the value that is entered by him, overriding the base value.

13. The computer-implemented system and process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said user can assign a value to the level of the athlete or use another athlete'"'"'s template to influence the results of an athlete'"'"'s position.

14. The computer-implemented system and process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said user can use other fields to form another template to influence the results of the given template.

15. The computer-implemented system and process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said questions that are not required can be made invisible if they are not relevant and no data needs to be entered.

16. The computer-implemented system and process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said user can enter instructions as notes, said system further containing instructions to said user on how best to answer a certain question.

17. The computer-implemented system and process as claimed in claim 1 wherein on completion of said entries and assigning of values, the value of each data field is added, total of said values being the athlete level or score.

18. A computer-implemented system and process as claimed in claim 1 comprising at least one computer configured to:

receive data on a plurality of information in the form of questions;

receive data on a plurality of relationships among the said information;

receive data on a logical classification of the said information and the said relationships among said information;

apply interpretive logic to standardize the said data;

apply standardizing rules to generate the visual display characteristics of said data based on their logical classification

apply values to said data once all entries are complete

add said values assigned to said data

obtain a total athlete level or score by addition of said values.

19. The computer-implemented system and process as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one computer is configured to operate in a distributed computer system network.

20. A computer program product embodied in a computer readable medium for processing and displaying the system and process of claim 1.
