1. A prediction system to predict a probability of a future event occurring in a live competition between a first competitor that includes a first set of one or more participants and a second competitor that includes a second set of one or more participants, the prediction system comprising:
a communication interface configured to receive telemetry data comprising positional data for the first set of one or more participants or the second set of one or more participants, wherein:
the positional data is combined to obtain time-stamped position information of one or more participants of one or both of the first set of one or more participants and the second set of one or more participants in the live competition; and
a processor coupled to the communication interface and configured to:
update a frequency with which position data for a particular participant is obtained based on a determination that a detected motion for the particular participant is greater than a predefined threshold;
use the time-stamped position information to determine a first play situation of the live competition;
store, in a database, statistical information pertaining to the live competition and historical statistical information, wherein the statistical information stored in the database is updated at the end of a predefined number of plays;
store, in a cache that provides rapid access during the live competition, the first play situation data and playing data associated with at least a subset of one or both of the first set of one or more participants and the second set of one or more participants, wherein the cache provides a more rapid access to information than the database, and the cache is allocated specifically for the live competition and is not used to cache data for another live competition; and
determine, based on at least the first play situation and playing data associated with at least a subset of one or both of the first set of one or more participants and the second set of one or more participants obtained from the local cache, a prediction of the probability of a first future event occurring at the live competition.
