1. A method comprising:
initiating an audio recording by a microphone of a mobile computing device operated by a striker located in a striking area having space for two or more strikers to strike objects into a target area;
identifying a physical location in the striking area and a first strike time determination for an object struck from the striking area based on sensor observations of the object in flight between the striking area and the target area;
identifying a second strike time determination in data of the audio recording; and
associating the physical location, which has been identified based on the sensor observations, with the mobile computing device when the second strike time determination is matched with the first strike time determination.
