Player of the Match & Awards

F04.14 10 features Planned

At a glance

In-match and post-match awards inspired by football and tennis: Player of the Match by spectator vote or stats, Player of the Tournament, Best Shooter / Best Pointer / Most Carreaux, Comeback of the Tournament, Fair Play, and season awards (Player of the Year, Young Player, Newcomer, Coach, Club, Umpire). Hall of fame integration preserves the history.

How it works

Awards are computed or voted depending on the federation's configuration. Player of the Match opens to spectators (push notification at match end), to officials (umpire vote), or runs automatically from the throw analytics — most carreaux + highest tir accuracy + decisive last-mène contribution. Player of the Tournament aggregates across all matches with a similar mix of votes and stats.

Skill-based awards key off the throw-level data captured in F04.05: Best Shooter takes the highest tir success ratio across the competition, Best Pointer the highest pointing accuracy, Most Carreaux the count of perfect hits. Comeback of the Tournament inspects the trajectory log and finds the team that recovered the largest deficit on the way to a win. Fair Play is umpire-nominated across the event with a free-text citation.

Season awards extend this beyond a single competition: Player of the Year, Young Player, Newcomer, Coach, Club, Umpire — each backed by a configurable voting system. The federation chooses public vote (one ballot per registered user with rate limiting), expert panel (named selectors with weighted votes), or stats-based (algorithm derived from season stats, with manual override). Voting periods open and close on declared dates, results publish to the CMS, and the awards history feeds the hall of fame: every winner across every year, with profile pages linking to the matches that earned the honour.

In practice

Final whistle on the SM doublette final. Push notifications go out to all spectators tracking the match: "Vote for Player of the Match — closes in 30 minutes." 1,800 votes come in; the system cross-checks against the throw analytics and surfaces both — the public choice and the stats winner agree. The award lights up on the venue scoreboard and the federation CMS post.

After the season, a panel of five expert selectors votes Player of the Year via the secure ballot tool; results publish at the federation gala and the new winner joins the hall of fame, where their profile now shows a gold trophy badge linked to every Player-of-the-Match recognition they collected during the season.
