1. A method for optimizing performance of an object tracking system having a plurality of receivers for receiving ping signals from a plurality of tags, wherein each of the plurality of tags is attached to an object tracked by the object tracking system, comprising: receiving, within an optimizer, locations of each of the plurality of tags; grouping identifiers of the tags within two or more tag sets, wherein a first of the tag sets identifies tags attached to objects involved in a situation of interest; determining, within the optimizer, a first receiver group based upon the location of tags identified within the first tag set and location of each of the plurality of receivers; determining a center of a smallest three-dimensional (3D) polygonal shape bounding the locations of tags identified in the first tag set; and steering an antenna of each receiver within the first receiver group towards the center while a number of receiver events per second generated by the receiver for tags identified within the first tag set increases.
