MATCH-FIX

The reference method of match monitoring to detect manipulation

The only way for players to influence match results is to underperform deliberately. Our approach, based on biomechanics sciences only, allows to determine whether deviations are normal or abnormal to detect potential match fixing.

The GOOD GAME! method and software system MATCH-FIX, through video analysis, uses multifactorial investigation of technical and tactical actions of sport stakeholders to identify the suspicious ones during sport competitions.

This method, developed after more than 15 years of analysis of performance data can detect match manipulation with a unique detection rate of over 99%. The MATCH-FIX method can be applied to all sports and is already in regular use in football, tennis and handball for competition monitoring.

Match-fix

Introduction

MATCH-FIX software system provides match analysis through the identification and the sequencing of key phases of game plays called “key points”. The players’ performances within these key points are analyzed to detect potential anomalies in the game play (so called “ deviations”).

The MATCH-FIX method relies solely on physical laws, biomechanics and physiology models to precisely differentiate involuntary errors (“normal deviations”), occurring in all matches, from intentional underperformances characterized by one or several deliberate actions of the players (“abnormal deviation”). It enables to classify those key points on the basis of a three-step scale between « normal », « potentially abnormal » and « abnormal ».
