Repeated scenes and understanding event partition

[FerranAlet]

If you visualize some of the consecutive events they seem to be the exactly the same. Comparing them programatically confirms that.

Why are there such repetitions? Is it intentional to signal something in particular?

Also, what is the criteria for separation between events?

@FerranAlet This is because some events are corresponding to the same game period, e.g. a shooting event and a foul can happen simultaneously. Also, from my experience, the play-by-play event ids do not perfectly match.
