American Football outcome catalogue

This is the list of outcomes the American Football simulation currently produces. Each outcome is a question the platform can answer about a simulated game or season (for example, "how many passing yards does this quarterback get?"). It is intended as a product reference for what is available today.

It covers game outcomes and season outcomes. Season outcomes also serve as the season-long / outright (futures) markets the engine can settle.

How outcome names are built

Every outcome has a name of the form:

WHAT_WHEN_WHO
  • WHAT — the thing being measured (e.g. POINTS, PASSING_YARDS).
  • WHEN — the time window (see below).
  • WHO — a placeholder for who it applies to:
  • [TEAM_ID] — a specific team. Produced once for the home team and once for the away team.
  • [PLAYER_ID] — a specific player.
  • Some game-wide outcomes have no who.

The tables below list every outcome name in full (each time window spelled out). The Time breakdown column summarises which windows a measure is produced for, at a glance.

Time windows:

Window Meaning
GAME The whole game
HALF1 / HALF2 First / second half
Q1Q4 Individual quarter
SEASON The whole season

Time breakdown values used below:

  • Game — whole game only
  • Game, 1st half — whole game and first half
  • Game, halves — whole game, first half, second half
  • Game, halves, quarters — whole game, both halves, and each quarter

Shape describes the kind of answer:

  • Number — a count or measured value (yards, points, attempts)
  • Yes/No — a true/false indicator
  • Rank — an ordering position
  • Time — a clock / game-time value

Under review: outcomes marked UNDER REVIEW below have known issues with how their values are produced and are not yet considered reliable.

Not produced today

For reference, these common outcomes are not produced yet:

  • Individual defensive-player stats — tackles, sacks, forced fumbles, interceptions, and defensive touchdowns per player. Only team-level defensive outcomes exist today.
  • Punter stats — punts and punt yards attributed to a specific punter.
  • Return stats — kick-return and punt-return yards and touchdowns.
  • Safeties.
  • Field-goal breakdowns by distance (e.g. 40–49 yards, 50+ yards). Only game totals exist.
  • Award and league-leader markets — MVP and other awards, and "leads the league in X" markets. (Note: the season outcomes above already cover the Super Bowl, conference, and make-the-playoffs outrights, and season win-totals.)
  • Division-winner outrights — divisions are not modelled as a standalone outcome today.
