Create a Game or Tournament

Set up a game before you film, and group a tournament weekend into a tournament.

Every recording belongs to a game, so this is the step before filming.

Create a game

  1. Tap the green + on the home screen, or Set up your first game on the welcome screen.
  2. What's the team called? Type your team's name, or tap it under Recents, then tap Next. For lacrosse, names from the club list appear as you type — or type any name at all, including "Blue Team."
  3. Who are they playing? Type the opponent the same way, then tap Next.
  4. Check the matchup at the top, set the date and time if it isn't today, and tap Create. The New Game form, with the matchup at the top, the date and the tournament

In a hurry? Skip for now goes straight to the form — fill in Team 1 and Team 2 there whenever you like.

The game appears on your home screen with a Start Game button on it when it's next up.

Everything here can be changed afterward — open the game, then Details from the ⋯ menu.

Group a tournament weekend into a tournament

A tournament is a folder for games that belong together: a tournament weekend, or a whole season. Your home screen shows these under Tournaments.

While creating a game, tap the Tournament row and choose New Tournament…, then give it a name. Games you add later can join the same tournament from that same row.

Inside a tournament, games sort with the next one to play at the top, so on Sunday morning the game you're about to film is right there.

You don't need a tournament. A one-off game with None selected sits on your home screen under Other Games.

Filming today, right now?

You don't have to plan ahead. Make the game at the field a minute before kickoff — that's the normal way to use it.
