- @sub-score-name
- @rank
  - with these almost all Olympics scoring can be captured
  - one-to-one relation to ODF model
team-metadata/@team-key
- make genericKeyType, eliminate teamKey.Common
  - teamKey.Common requires schema to host official team-key list
[team | player]-stats/@events-remaining
- games remaining in season or competition
[team | player]-stats/@score-type (added Feb. 20, 2009)
- qualifer for "score" attribute

- number of events played under the alignment or coverage scope of the outcome-total
outcome-totals/@events-remaining
- number of events remaining under the alignment or coverage scope of the outcome-total
outcome-totals/@losses-overtime

time-of-possession and time-of-possession-average to core stats
- means deprecating them in am-football schema
vocab addition: intermission to “event-status”
vocab addition: physically-unable to “phase-status”

For SportsML-G2 2.2

Further review of tournament structure with regard to other sports and formats (Swiss, Page, etc.)
Schema extensibility
- consider revising schema typing to enable extensibility
Review all vocabs to determine which should be “Qcoded”
G2 naming structure adopted. What else? Person, organization, address, etc.
