Loss

Subtype of: Transition

Loss

Any Action that ends a Possession of the current team.

Details

  • A loss is recorded at the point where the player of the team actually loses the possession of the ball. For non-passes, this would be equal to the point of his last action, but, for example, with an unsuccessful long pass, the loss will be recorded at the ending point of the pass, not at its starting point.
  • Events where the ball goes off the field off a player are, by definition, losses.
  • Every unsuccessful pass is a loss.
  • Loss is always an unsuccessful action.
  • Suffered foul, while ending a possession, is not considered a loss.

Attributes
