Recording a match live or afterwards

You can record statistics live while the match is being played, or fill them in afterwards from the match report or memory. Live gives you the most detail, while recording afterwards is flexible when you have to coach during the match.

Statistics

We recommend recording live on mobile or tablet. The buttons are built for touch and one thumb.

Build your squad

Before you start the match, set up the Squad tab for the season.

For each player you fill in:

  • First and last name
  • Jersey number
  • Position (Wing, Backcourt, Line, Goalkeeper or Multi-position player)

You can add players one at a time, or paste a whole list from a text file or spreadsheet. If you coach more than one team, you can switch between them from the «Teams» button at the top.

Create a match

Go to the Matches tab and select «New match». You can create:

  • Single match: fill in opponent, date, match length, tournament and which players are taking part.
  • Paste several: paste a list with opponent and date (and optionally time and result) to create many matches at once.
  • Import from handball.no (where your club has this enabled): fetch league matches and create them directly in Planr.

Once the match is created, you find it in the match list. It shows as planned until you tap Start match.

Live recording

Open the match from the match list on match day. You will see a setup screen with match info and the squad. Check that the squad is correct and tap Start match when you are ready.

During recording, the screen is built for one thumb:

  • A bottom menu switches between Attack and Defense, with the match clock in the middle and play/pause next to it.
  • On iPad and desktop there is also room for a Live stats panel on the right side, with a real-time summary and event log. You open it from «More» in the bottom menu.

The buttons available:

Attack Goal, Assist, Drew 7m, Missed 7m, Miss +, Miss −

Technical errors (under Attack) Pass/catch, Steps, Line crossing, Offensive foul, Illegal screen, Other technical

Defense Steal, Free throw, Plus, Minus, Sanction, 7m against

Goalkeeper Saves and Goals against split by Wing, Short, Long and 7m.

For each event you pick the type first (for example «Goal» or «Steal»), and then which player it applies to.

If you tap the wrong thing, you can undo or delete individual events as long as the match is in progress.

Recording afterwards

If you did not get to record live during the match, you have two options:

  1. Planned match: Open the match, tap Start match, and register the events afterwards. The clock can stay paused while you work through them.
  2. Completed match: Open the match summary, choose Reopen match from the menu (⋯), and add or correct events. Mark the match as finished again when you are done.

Numbers entered afterwards count the same as live-recorded numbers in season totals.

After the match

When the match has ended you get a summary with three tabs: Events, Court players and Goalkeepers. Here you see all registered events chronologically and tables per player.

Events cannot be changed directly in the summary, but you can reopen the match from the menu (⋯) to correct or add anything that is missing. You can also edit match details like opponent, date and tournament.
