Play-by-play stats for flag and American football: every play in the record

SportApp records flag and American football play by play. The scorer enters each play with a few taps, and the stats reach players, fans and streams.

The final score tells who won. The stats tell how the win came about and who stood out. SportApp records flag football and American football play by play: passes, rushes, penalties, flag pulls and interceptions. In American football the kicking game and drives are in too.

How does scoring work?

The scorer opens the scoring app with a scoring code and enters each play with a few taps: rush, pass or penalty. SportApp writes the play text, moves the ball and keeps the down and distance. Every play also goes into the drive summary, with plays, yards and time of possession.

  • Light or full. In light mode you record the score and the key events, in full mode every event.
  • Two scorers. Two scorers can score the same game at the same time.
  • Fix it afterwards. You can correct the stats after the game.
  • A phone is enough. The light phone scoring view is clear enough for a volunteer at the sideline.
  • Line-ups ready. The teams’ line-ups come into the scoring automatically.

Who benefits from the stats?

Players

Every player sees their own rushing, passing, receiving, all-purpose yards and defense. The team stats build up game by game at the same time.

Parents and fans

Passes, flag pulls and interceptions go straight to the live app, so parents can follow from the sideline and the rest of the family from home.

Organizers and event companies

A tournament with stats looks like a bigger event. On tours and in 7v7 leagues, stats are one more reason for teams to come back.

Streams and screens

The same stats feed the live app and the stream graphics while the game is on. Nobody types the score twice.

Federations

When a tournament needs official results and stats, they come from the same system as the rest of the season.
