Track Live Game Stats by Mode

Overview

Use this workflow to track a game from start to finish and publish an accurate game report.

You can choose the tracker mode that fits your situation, capture events during play, then complete the game with final scores and summary details.

Who Is This For

Coaches who enter live stats, manage periods, and handle substitutions.
Admins who support tracking, verify final accuracy, and finalize report details.

Prerequisites

You are signed in as a coach or admin.
You are opening a game event, not a practice.
The game has a valid team and game context (teamId and gameId).
A tracker configuration exists for the team.

Choose Your Path

Use this quick guide before you start:

Standard: Use for classic manual entry with timer, team/opponent stats, and finish flow.
Beta: Use for sideline-focused basketball tracking with quick substitutions.
Live Broadcast Tracker: Use Beta-style tracking plus live chat and live-view context.
Photo Score Sheet: Use after the game to import final stats from a score sheet image.

Important behavior:

If no mode chooser appears, the game opens in the default Standard tracker.
If the game is already complete, open Report instead of starting a new tracking session.

Common Questions

Which mode is best for live play?

Use Standard for familiar manual entry. Use Beta or Live Broadcast Tracker for faster sideline substitutions and live context.

When should I use Photo Score Sheet?

Use it after the game when final stats are on a completed paper score sheet.

Can both coach and admin run this workflow?

Yes. Both can track games. Admins usually lead final verification.

What happens after Save & Complete?

The game is marked complete and opens in report view for review and sharing.

Recovery & Troubleshooting

Sent back to login: Sign in again, reopen the same game from schedule, and continue.
Tracking says this is a practice: Practice events cannot be tracked as games. Return to schedule and open a game event.
No basketball mode chooser: Continue in the default Standard tracker.
Game already has tracked data: If prompted to clear data, cancel to keep records or confirm to start fresh.
Photo analysis mapped teams incorrectly: Use side swap, remap home players, and verify final scores before applying.
Save & Complete did not finish: Stay on the page, confirm final scores, retry save, then verify in report view.

schedule: Build and manage the game schedule.
game-day: Handle day-of-game operations and live coordination.
postgame: Complete recap, reporting, and follow-up.
