Statistics Explained

    Women’s and Men’s Premiership (National level) performance data is provided by Opta, part of Stats Perform.

    Mandated for Women’s and Men’s competitions at Regional and Counties level, this data is provided by the ‘Game Management System’ through the use of the ‘Electronic Match Card’ tool.

    While the entry of match events (scoring events, substitutions etc.) is not mandatory at certain levels, it is highly encouraged. The use of the EMC will provide a player with enhanced statistic performance data which they can share with and compare against other players.

    Match event data such as tries, penalties, conversions and more, can be entered by volunteers with EMC administration permissions as the events happen and will be displayed in near real-time forming a running commentary of the match.

    Note: All the data that is collected is based on the accuracy of the EMC administrator input.
