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
