Rugby

Fifteen or thirteen a side depending on the code, over two halves. Points come from tries, conversions, penalties and drop goals, and league tables commonly use bonus points.

The model

What Rugby 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.

Illustration

The same component renders each sport in its own scoring shape. Shown here with football, basketball and volleyball, because those are the shapes we can illustrate today.
