• comparing the position data with registration data for tracked locations on the venue found in an instruction listing;
• selecting an instruction from the instruction listing indicating that the real-time position data corresponds with the registration data for the tracked locations;
• and
• generating an output that conveys the instruction to the player to perform an action,

A method, comprising:

• providing a terminal with a display;
• generating an interface on the display with icons that are configured to capture registration data for tracked locations on a venue;
• receiving position data, in real-time, that relates to a location of a player on the venue;
• comparing the position data with the registration data for the tracked locations on the venue found in an instruction listing;
• selecting an instruction from the instruction listing indicating that the real-time position data corresponds with the registration data for the tracked locations;
