TABLE 2.
Identified performance indicators.
Points scored per game (PPG) | A point is scored when a player on the offensive team catches the disc inside the opponent’s end zone |
Break points scored per game (BPG) | A break point refers to a point scored by the team who pulled the disc (i.e., started the point on defense) |
Completed passes per game (CPG) | A completed pass is a successful exchange of disc possession between players of the same team. A successful exchange refers to full control of the disc (i.e., no fumbling) |
Average number of passes per possession (PPP) | A possession is an uninterrupted period where a team maintains control of the disc through a sequence of completed passes |
Total turnovers per game (TPG) | A turnover is a loss of disc possession. |
Unforced turnovers per game (UTPG) | An unforced turnover is the loss of disc possession due to an error (e.g., disc is dropped, disc is thrown out of bounds) |
Forced turnovers per game (FTPG) | A forced turnover is the loss of disc possession due to active defensive effort (e.g., interception, double team) |
Turnover-to-point conversion efficiency (TTPCE%) | The turnover-to-point conversion efficiency is a team’s ability to score immediately after a turnover by the opponent. The number of points scored after a turnover is divided by the total number of turnovers by the opponent, expressed as a percentage |
Possession opportunity (PO%) | The possession opportunity is the number of times a team starts with the disc (i.e., the opponent pulls) divided by the total number of possessions in the game, expressed as a percentage |
