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.
- Import from Profixio: paste the cup tournament link, select your team, and import the matches directly into 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. Under Advanced settings you can turn on «Track goal zones» (where in the goal), «Track court shot zones» (8 zones: wing/short/long) and «Share match». Tap Save to apply. Choices are remembered for the next match. Check that the squad is correct and tap Start match when you are ready.
Share match (Stats Pro, Planr Pro or Hub): When enabled, you can copy a match link that others can open (view only). Before kick-off they see match info and the squad. When the match is live or finished, they see the stats. Choose Events only or Full share. On Planr with a team calendar, shared matches are also clickable in the calendar before kick-off. On Stats Basic, sharing is locked, with a link to upgrade.
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. The match starts on Defense.
- 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.
- Each time you switch to Attack (including automatic switch after a goal against) a possession is registered. It is not registered at kick-off, only when you actually switch to Attack. You can undo it in the event list like other events.
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, Counter and 7m.
If «Track court shot zones» is enabled, Long/Short/Wing is replaced by a court map (8 zones). For goals, saves and goals against, fast break and 7m stay separate buttons.
If «Track goal zones» is enabled, after a save or goal against the goalkeeper gets an optional step: Select goal zone (where in the goal the shot went, 9 zones). You can skip it.
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:
- Planned match: Open the match, tap Start match, and register the events afterwards. The clock can stay paused while you work through them.
- 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. If goal zones were recorded, a heatmap with saves / attempts per zone is also shown under Goalkeepers.
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.
