I am trying to make a small program to parse transcribe file and compile some stats. I was wondering if there is any straightforward way to now which team has the ball by parsing a single play from the transcribe file? Do we need to look at the player's name or keep track of the owner of the ball from the precing plays?
Thanks

With the current format, I don't think there's any easy way without keeping some sort of state information accumulated from previous plays.
there are a number of stat parsing utilities out there, perhaps looking at some of them or talking to their creators would be of help to you?
