At 32 seconds into the video, you can see a few frames of a Google Sheet where one column is the name of the sport (you can see "Quidditch" quite a few times) and a second column is a rule, like "The Chasers are there to try and keep posession of the Quaffle...". Looks like one row per rule. Teh filename is "AKQA AI SPORT".

No idea if that's what they used for the actual training, though.

Baseball is represented by 6 rules. Ultimate Frisbee is represented by 18. Quidditch is represented by 20+.

Wikipedias list of sports is in the neighborhood of 1200 sports: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sports Excluding an extra list of 150 or so ball games.

So Baseball has about an average representation of rules, whereas quidditch is weighted way higher than the average sport.

I'm sorry, I'm having trouble following what you mean here. Could you explain it a bit further?
