Abstract in another language

How can your team increase its chances to win a beach volleyball match given your team’s skills? What is the impact of having the first serve in a set? Should the next attack be as aggressive as possible? We tackle these kind of strategic questions using two interacting Markov Decisions Problems. An aggregated model is treated analytically, whereas a more detailed model is simulated to calibrate the aggregated model. If actions in the aggregated model are aggressive and timid play, then our method recommends a policy depending on statistics from your team’s training sessions and historical observations of the opposing team’s skills. These recommendations are even possible if the two teams have never played a real match against each other.
