Getting Started

Setting up your first match is quick and easy. Follow the steps below and you'll be scoring in no time!

Opening the App

When you first open Netball Tracker you'll see the Live Scoring screen. This is the main screen you'll use during a game. It shows:

• The score for each team (left and right)
• A countdown timer in the centre
• Goal cards for each team

Setting Up a New Match

When no match is in progress the live screen shows a large New Game button. Tap it to open the setup dialog, then work through the options:

1. (Optional) Tap Configure Teams to name the two teams, choose their colours, and add player rosters. If you skip this, the match uses the default "Us" and "Them" teams.
2. (Optional) Tap Configure Tracking to customise which actions you can record on the Performance screen.
3. Pick a quarter length — choose one of the presets (7, 8, 10 or 15 minutes), or tap the ? tile to type a custom value.
4. Choose the number of quarters (1 to 4). Most matches use 4; tournaments sometimes use fewer.
5. Choose which team takes the first centre pass by tapping its button.
6. Tap Start Game and you're ready to go! (Or tap Load Match to resume a previously saved game instead.)

What Happens Next?

Once the match is set up the timer is paused at your chosen quarter length. Tap the big GO button to blow the start whistle and begin the quarter. From here you can:

• Tap the goal cards to record goals
• Tap the play / pause button in the timer to stop and start the clock
• Navigate to other screens (Performance, Stats, Scoresheet) using the page navigator at the bottom

Don't worry — the timer keeps running consistently even when you switch screens.
