# Wyscout data provenance

## Wyscout data sources

**Category:** first-party.

Hudl Wyscout collects its own event data from match video, at about 2,500 data
points per game. Hudl's pages describe the method differently: one says trained
analysts tag every match, and a later one says the data is generated
automatically from the footage. Both say the data comes from Wyscout itself, not
from a third party.
