Record

This page shows you how to record a match 

Choose a match

You should see a list of matches that are today’s date or older that are available for recording. 

You can add new matches and new teams as required from this page or you can go to Set-up and plan your whole season!

[How to add matches]

Select your players

The home team has green selectors and the away team has purple selectors.

You can switch between teams and choose up to 10 players on each team to record.

The minimum is just 1 player on one of the teams.

You can add new players and you can select guest players from other teams - often needed if you are running multiple teams especially at junior ranks

Time Periods

The next step is to confirm the time periods for the match. The default is 4 periods of 12 minutes. You can amend this and add overtime periods that can be added during a game  if required. Once the match timer starts - the time periods cannot be amended.

Start recording

At the top of the page select 'record' and you will be taken to the scorecard - alternatively you can 'reset' your player selection or 'cancel' to choose a different match.

Recording

The above screenshot shows the scorecard.

You can move between players using the player buttons. The selected player's name appears in the header and the header and footer colours change to indicate their team.

You can choose your starting line up by clicking on the player's time - this toggles them from bench <-> court. You can change this as it happens during the match. A  click on a selected player does the same thing. Or you can change the on court players quick and easily by using the roster change icon in the bottom menu bar.

You can drag and drop the players to change their order or press the sort button that moves the oncout players to the top of the list

The players' timers will only start if the match timer is running. You can start or stop this by clicking the timer in the match scores at the foot of the screen. When it is clicked all on court players' timers start or stop.

if a player that you are NOT recording scores you can increment the team's score in the match scores at the foot of the screen. This information is needed to generate the other players' plus minus stat which summarises scoreboard changes whilst that player is on the court.

Field Goals

For field goal attempts the app loads the shot map page. Press to record the court position where the player made the attempt. You'll then be asked to record the outcome e.g. if it was missed, who blocked it, who got the rebound

Turnovers and Steals

If you have players on the opposing side you will be presented with a list to pick the player e.g. for a steal - who got turned over?

All other stats simply increment by +1.

You can use the pitch icon (bottom left) to set the orientation of the shotmap to match your location and the end your team is attacking. Next time you record a field goal the pitch will be rotated.

If you want to see the current shotmap at any time you can tap the record screen icon at the bottom to toggle it on and off - this view doesn't rotate.

You can use the pitch icon (bottom left) to set the orientation of the shotmap to match your location and the end your team is attacking. Next time you record a field goal the pitch will be rotated.

If you make a mistake then press the undo button. The app attempts to keep the shotmap and shot attempts in synch by removing the latest entries so they tally. The app also stops you from reducing the attempts for a shot type below the corresponding number of successful shots

Timing during the game

When time runs out for a period the match timer goes red and so does the stopwatch icon at the foot of the page.

iPhones will vibrate for 3 seconds when this happens

You should stop the timer at this point as the players' timers will still be running.

Now click on the stopwatch icon and select the next period.

You can also amend the time left for the active period on this page.

Saving the recording

To save the stats press the save button at the bottom left of the record page.

Once saved, you get the option to view/edit the stats and also share with another coach [see sharing stats]

Options to go back to recording or finish recording are offered - you will be warned if any stats have not been saved

Note: if you record and or save on multiple occasions for the same player in the same match you will overwrite the previous recording

Tip: If you are entering stats retrospectively you can save a game straight away without recording anything and then edit it to enter the stats directly.
