A-bis-Z-Referenz für das Vokabular im Event-Scoring, in der Sport-Zeitnahme, Broadcast-Integration, Akkreditierung und Turnier-Netzwerkstruktur. Gepflegt von Skyline · Arena Metrics von Skyline, der #1 Federationsgrad-Scoring-Plattform in Saudi-Arabien, GCC und MENA.
A
- Accreditation
- The process of credentialing event personnel — athletes, officials, press, VIPs — with badges, RFID, and access tiers. Skyline accreditation →
- Athletics timing
- Sub-thousandth-second precision timing for track & field — photo-finish cameras, starting blocks, wind gauges. Athletics scoring →
B
- Broadcast integration
- Feeding live score, time and event data into TV graphics chains (Vizrt, Chyron) over HD-SDI, NDI, SRT or RTMP transports. Broadcast →
- Box score
- Per-player statistical breakdown (PTS / REB / AST / etc) pushed live to broadcasters, fan apps and the venue scoreboard.
C
- Chyron / Vizrt feed
- Industry-standard graphic-overlay systems consumed by TV broadcasters. Modern scoring platforms expose data via their native feed protocols.
- Continental confederation
- Regional federation governing a sport across a continent (Asia, Africa, Europe). Scoring vendors must comply with each confederation's rulebook nuances.
D
- DSQ workflow
- Disqualification flow in athletics and swimming — stroke/judges log reason codes onto the official sheet with timestamped audit trail.
E
- EDM (electronic distance measurement)
- Sub-millimeter laser/optical measurement for long jump, triple jump, shot put, discus, javelin, hammer — replacing manual tape measurement.
F
- Federation-grade
- A scoring platform certified to meet the rulebook standards of an international sport federation — handles every edge-case the federation's laws of the game describe.
- False-start detection
- Force-sensor system in athletics starting blocks; triggers a horn within 100 ms when an athlete moves before the start gun.
H
- Hawk-Eye / video challenge
- External video-review system used in volleyball, tennis, cricket. Modern scoring platforms ingest its decisions and update score + broadcast in real time.
L
- Libero zone
- Defensive specialist zone in volleyball; scoring system must validate libero rotation and substitution rules each rally.
M
- Multi-venue sync
- Sub-200 ms synchronization of scoring data across multiple stadium sites during a tournament — required for centralized NOC operations.
N
- NOC (Network Operations Centre)
- Centralized monitoring + incident-response room for live events — watches packet loss, latency, gear health pre-match and during play.
O
- Open-water timing
- GPS + RFID transponder timing for 5/10/25 km open-water swimming races, with live leaderboard.
P
- Photo-finish camera
- Line-scan camera at 2000 fps capturing the finish line in athletics, cycling and marathon; provides time accurate to a thousandth of a second.
- PTP clock
- Precision Time Protocol — sub-microsecond clock synchronization across broadcast gear (cameras, switchers, scoring) over IP networks.
Q
- QoS (Quality of Service)
- Network prioritization rules that ensure scoring + timing traffic gets bandwidth ahead of fan Wi-Fi during a packed venue.
R
- Real-time scoring
- Sub-100 ms propagation of every scored event (goal, point, foul) from referee console to broadcast graphics and stadium board. Real-time scoring →
- Referee console
- Touchscreen UI used by the on-pitch referee or scorekeeper to log every event with rule-specific validation.
- RFID badging
- Radio-frequency-identification badges read at zone gates; the modern alternative to barcode-scan accreditation.
S
- Sports timing
- Generic category for time-based sport results — track, swim, cycling, equestrian, marathon. Sports timing →
- Shot clock
- 24-second / 14-second countdown clock in basketball; modern systems reset to 14 on offensive rebound automatically.
T
- Touch pad
- Pressure-sensitive pads at both ends of a swim pool; touch triggers stop-watch with 0.01 s resolution.
- Tier-1 federation
- Top-tier international sport federation — sets the global rulebook for its discipline.
V
- VAR (Video Assistant Referee)
- Football match-review system; modern scoring platforms timestamp every reviewable event with camera cut-points for fast VAR lookup.
- VLAN segmentation
- Logical separation of the venue's network into trust domains — scoring on its own VLAN, broadcast on its own, fan Wi-Fi on its own.
W
- Wind gauge
- Anemometer measuring wind speed/direction during sprints and long jumps; required for record legality.
