The criteria to record an event can be determined by the users of the system. The important part of defining how you record events is to keep it consistent. Some elements are very easy to determine (e.g. was a penalty corner awarded or not?), while others are quite difficult (e.g. was that true possession and a circle entry or not?).

Below is a set of definitions that can be used as a starting point:

Statistic	Icon	Definition
PS		A penalty stroke is awarded
PC		A penalty corner is awarded
CE		A team enters their attacking circle while mainting possession
Shot Goal		A player shoots in an attempt to score a goal and scores
Shot Save GK		A player shoots in an attempt to score a goal and the shot is saved by the goalkeeper
Shot Wide		A player shoots in an attempt to score a goal but misses
Poss		A team is in control of the ball
No Poss		Neither team is in control of the ball (e.g. bully, injury)
