Known issues/caveats edit
- match time of event (P1390) isn't very flexible. It can't represent extra time in soccer (e.g. how do you distinguish 45+2' from 47'?), and it isn't ideal for sports where the clock counts down (not up) and/or is reset between halves/quarters.
- Representing draws/ties as "winner: none" is ambiguous with matches that had no winner for other reasons. Perhaps we need an "outcome" property?
Missing support for edit
- Multi-leg matches
- Postponed/cancelled match
- Points/goals broken down by period/half/quarter (relevant for basketball, American football, hockey, etc)
- Representing what kit a team wore. (Wikidata is lacking in support for kits in general -- I think every kit a team has ever had should have its own item with all the images of each part attached, and then we can just link to that item with a qualifier on participating team (P1923))
Laws of the game edit
match time of event (P1390) is a bit of a useless property right now, because timing mechanics vary greatly between sports (and even between leagues of the same sport). We need a way to express any given sport's rules in data.
First, we need to get a wide sample of the types of rules that exist:
- American football
- Clock counts down
- Periods:
- 4× 15 min period, ends when time runs out
- game ends unless it's tied
- 1× 15 min period, ends when time runs out or someone scores
- game ends
- Association football
- Clock counts up
- Periods:
- 45 min period, ends when time runs out
- stoppage time, ends when referee decides
- 45 min period, ends when time runs out
- stoppage time, ends when referee decides
- game ends, unless a tournament game and it's tied
- 15 min period, ends when time runs out
- stoppage time, ends when referee decides
- 15 min period, ends when time runs out
- stoppage time, ends when referee decides
- game ends unless it's tied
- 5× shots from the mark
- game ends unless it's tied
- 1× shots from the mark
- go to #12
- Baseball
- No clock
- Periods:
- 9× inning, ends after 3 outs
- game ends unless it's tied
- 1× inning, ends after 3 outs
- go to #2
- Basketball
- NCAAM
- Clock counts down
- Periods:
- 2× 20 min period, ends when time runs out
- game ends unless it's tied
- 1× 5 min period, ends when time runs out
- go to #2
Wow this is getting way too complicated, maybe a general model for sports timing rules is not worth implementing...
