Prototype Tactical Board Tool for Generating Optimal Offensive Patterns in Rugby Sevens

We have developed a simulation- and optimization-based method of computing optimal offensive patterns composed of run and hand-pass plays based on players' locations and velocities in rugby sevens games. Although this method was developed primarily to provide explanatory information for viewers during broadcasting and/or streaming, it is also applicable in promoting tactical understanding among coaches and players. Thus, in this study, we constructed a prototype interactive tactical board tool installed with a function for computing optimal offensive patterns based on our computation method with a renewed implementation.
