Tactics Library Development

We will need the help of coaches, trainers and officials from various sports to put together useful sets of tactics so that we can create a library to distribute with the product.

It is important that the tactics come from your own experience, as they cannot be copied directly from books or other places due to copyright reasons. You will also have to be willing to release your tactics libraries under the GPLv2 license.
