These data are the property of Bepro and were transmitted by Daniel Coppens.
- TXT file is for the actual x, y positional data of all players and the ball, and XML file is for the metadata that explains the structure of the TXT file.
- There are 2 files in "XML" folder that we shared with you. Bepro tracking data_FIRST_HALF.xml is related to bepro tracking data_FIRST_HALF.txt and bepro tracking data_SECOND_HALF.xml is related to bepro tracking data_SECOND_HALF.xml.
Basically, each row in TXT file represents the position of all 22 players and the ball, alongside the frame number and status of the ball. -> {frame number}:{player1's x},{player1's y};{player2's x},{player2's y}; ... ;{player22's x},{player22's y}:{ball's x},{ball's y}:{ball status}
From the sample row that you mentioned 261:9856,3349;6936,1441;7177,3118;7136,4182;6778,5861;6160,3347;6060,4184;5273,2481;5256,1890;5259,4362;5265,5018;5272,3418;5258,347;5254,6582;4394,2996;5184,4480;4435,3928;3637,1197;3442,2956;3380,3953;3652,5174;1066,3381:5252,3428:BALL_OUT
