Welcome to Team Shift Tracker

This application is for all those parents out there who 'know' that their kids are not getting fair playing time. However, sometimes perception is not reality. You are always focused on your child so sometimes it seems they are getting less than others. Sadly, sometimes you're right - your child is getting mis-treated, either by intent or by oversight.

This app is ALSO for coaches. You want to know who's getting the playing time. You are busy during the game, you can't focus on your assistant coaches to see that they're favouring someone (not their own child, surely). You want to have the information available for when parents come to you accusing you of not playing fair. Combine the knowledge of playing time with your stat tracking to see who is performing the best given their amount of playing time.

This app will allow you to record the playing time and shifts for as many or as few players on the team as you need.

After the game you will be able to get reports on playing time for a single player, for a game or over the course of the season for the entire team. Reports include graphs showing the trends of playing time.

Use this app and you will have facts to back up your concerns, or alternatively, you'll realize that your child is not being treated unfairly and you can sit back and enjoy the games.

Instructions

I'll make an effort to get some screen shots and better instructions posted, but to get you going:

1) Go into Settings:
a) Create a season - dates don't matter too much at this point
b) Create your team, and then create at least one opposing team (hit the switch next to 'Opponent' to show that this is an opposing team.
c) Add Players to your team - you can add every player, or you can just add the players you are going to track
d) You can also edit the periods to match your sport. I don't FORCE the timer to stop at the defined period length, however the time will appear RED when running the game when you are past the configured period length.

2) Go into Games:
a) Create a new game and fill in the information.
b) Hit Run Game

3) When running the Game:
a) Hit the Start/Stop button at the top of the screen whenever the game clock starts/stops.
b) Whenever a player steps on or off the playing surface, hit the button next to them.
c) You DO NOT need to hit the button next to a player when the game stops - i.e. at a whistle. Hitting the Start/Stop at the top of the screen will stop all time counts. You ONLY need to hit these buttons when a player's shift begins or ends.
d) If you make a mistake, don't worry. Hit the edit button next to a player and you will see details for all of their shifts. You can delete or edit a shift in here.
e) If a player or players didn't play the game, click on their name/number and they will be marked as not playing (big 'x' goes through their name).

4) When the game is done, go to Reports:
a) Player Reports - single player, shows playing time over the whole season with details.
b) Game Report - shows game stats including all shifts for all players that played.
c) Team Report - all players, all stats for the season, broken up by:
- Summary - all games for season
- vs Opponent - select an opponent and see stats vs just that team
- Home/Away - shows only home or away games
- Game Type - shows stats for the various game times (League, Exhibition, Tournament and playoffs).


Note: All reports can be emailed to you. Those with graphs are sent as PDF and as CSV. Those without graphs come just as CSV. CSV can be imported into Excel or any other spreadsheet program for further analysis.
