Match results, kept with the video

1What one match holds

One match is one row. This is everything it holds.

• Date, and the order within that day - two matches on one day still have an order
• Opponent - picked from your list of teams; each team belongs to a district
• Score and result - win, loss or draw; the score can be filled in later
• Whether it was an official match - only official matches count towards the totals
• Tournament, format and venue - a format such as "5 min x 4 quarters" fits here
• A video link - if there is one. There does not have to be
• A note and keywords - to find it again later

There is nothing per player. What is kept is the team's match, not who scored what.

2A season at a time, all on one screen

Matches are grouped by season, and a whole season fits on one screen - there is no paging.

A season is a few dozen matches. Split across pages, you never know which page the one you want is on. Kept on one screen, typing into the box at the top narrows the rows as you type - by opponent, tournament, venue or date, and also by words like "win", "loss", "official" or "no video".

3Running totals per opponent

Switch to the per-team view and you get the running record against each opponent: how many wins and losses, and how the last one went. Filter by district and the totals follow.

Only official matches are counted. Friendlies appear in the list, but not in the totals.

4Two ways in

• Members - sign in with an ID and password you are given. No Google account needed
• The club's administrator - signs in with a Google account

Members are given one URL - the view screen. There is no separate login address to pass around: if you are not signed in, you are sent to that club's login page and returned to where you were heading. So a deeper link, such as this season's per-team record, can be shared as it is.

5Each club is walled off

Many clubs run on the same installation. Each has its own URL, and no club can see another's data from anywhere.

Nor can the operator see any club's matches. System-level administration can list, suspend or delete an organisation, and switch advertising on or off. That is all.

The key in a club's URL is not a sequence number: numbered, anyone could walk through them and collect the list of clubs using the service.

6What it does not do

No per-player statistics, no attendance, no fees, no messaging, no practice schedule. It keeps match results and hands them round. That is the whole of it.

It does not host video either. A match holds one link; the video itself stays where you put it, on YouTube or elsewhere.

7Getting started

There is no charge. You choose two things - a name for the club, and the ID that goes in its URL. After that, add your opponents and venues and you can start entering matches.

8Personal data

What happens to a club's registration details, its members' accounts and its match records is set out in the Match Record privacy policy, including the fact that the operator cannot see any club's data.

The policy linked at the foot of this page is a different one - it covers this introduction site, the page you are reading now. For the service itself, follow the link above.
