American Football

American Football

incl. NFL, NCAA

Eleven a side over four quarters, built around discrete possessions and downs. Scores arrive in units of two, three, six and seven, so a scoreline needs its own presentation.

The model

What American Football needs that a generic model does not give it.

Every sport gets its own entities and its own scoring shape. We do not force one structure onto all of them.
