\caption{Description of mandatory Match Meta CDF. Any description ending with a $^\star$ is repeated once per player. Note that \{i\} is used as an index for the items in a list. Separate ball version, name, fps and collection timing is only required when providing an independent ball file (i.e. when the ball sampling rate is different).}
