Abstract

The invention concerns a method and a system for determining a game scenario in a sports game, the system including a player module being attachable to a player, an equipment module being attachable to a sports equipment to be used in the sports game, and a computing unit. The computing unit may be configured to receive player based data from the player module and equipment based data from the equipment module, the player based data representing an activity profile of the player and the equipment based data representing a motion profile of the equipment. The computing unit may further be configured to determine, based on the activity profile of the player and on the motion profile of the equipment, one of a plurality of game scenarios involving the player and the equipment.
