Whistle

HOw does it work?

On the game settings screen enter the location and team names. You can choose from the drop-down or type in a custom team name.

These are optional. You can just click ‘Start Game’ for a quick start (teams will be named Team 1 & Team 2).

You can set minutes per half, the play clock time (in seconds), and the number of timeouts per half.

Click the button if you need a coin toss and then click ‘Start Game‘.

  • Game Clock: Start and stop as needed. Resetting will reset the number of timeouts for the second half.
  • Play Clock: With ‘Auto Advance’ selected, starting the play clock will advance the downs.
  • Downs: The down can be manually advanced by clicking the numbers.
  • Scoring: Click the buttons to add specific scores or use + and – to manually alter the score. When clicking a button you’ll be able to enter the players numbers to fill out the score log.
  • Defensive Stats: Click the button to add a player number in the right field to log a defensive stat.
  • Timeouts: Click the blue circles to take a timeout. This will automatically pause the game clock.
  • Undo: This button will undo a timeout or score.
  • Penalties: This will bring up a searchable list of penalties with description, yards lost etc.
  • End Game: You’ll get a confirmation pop-up just in case!

You can share a link, via a QR code, with a head ref, scorer, clock manager and coach.

  • Head Ref: can manage the clocks, downs and timeouts but not the score.
  • Scorer: can only manage the scores.
  • Clock: can manage game clocks and downs.
  • Coach/Viewer: can only view.

Share the game code or any of the QR codes with the Gridiron Stats app to view clock, score, downs and timeouts in the live view.

Your Playbook, Digitised

Leaderboard

Season stats at a glance

The leaderboard tracks every player’s season totals across all competitive games automatically. Export a full stats spreadsheet at any time with one tap.

Stats

Log stats in seconds

Two ways to log a play — tap a player from your roster or choose the stat first. Either way it takes seconds. Attach a play from your playbook, add a quick note, and move on. The feed updates live so your whole coaching team is always in sync.

Stat logging currently requires an internet connection to work.

Offline mode coming soon.

Games

Schedule, score, repeat

Plan your season in advance and track every game as it happens. Log the score, set the game type — regular, friendly, playoff, finals — and let Gridiron handle the rest. Friendly games are automatically excluded from the season leaderboard so your stats always tell the real story.
