## What is iRefFoos?

iRefFoos – Find the Tells

Foosball players are constantly searching for tells — the small habits and patterns that reveal how an opponent plays. Until now, discovering those tells relied on instinct and years of experience.

iRefFoos changes that.

Built by Pro-Master player Eric Dunn, iRefFoos analyzes matches, reveals possession patterns, and lets players instantly review key moments so they can understand what’s really happening on the table.

FIND THE TELLS

Detailed possession timelines and visual bar charts reveal patterns that are difficult to see during live play. Spot tendencies, passing patterns, and defensive habits players rely on to gain an edge.

REVIEW THE MOMENT

Record your match and instantly jump to the possessions you want to study — even while the match is still being played. Get the information you need when it matters most.

ANALYZE ANY GAME

Import match footage and process it with Auto-Timer to generate full possession timelines and statistics — just like a live game.

TRAIN THE RIGHT HABITS

The Training Center uses structured challenges designed to build consistency, timing, and the habits the best players use to reach the highest levels.

Whether you're competing in weekly events, studying tournament footage, or practicing for the next level, iRefFoos helps you see the game differently.

Each session begins by choosing how you want to foos: Referee, Practice, Compete, Stream/Share, or Fun Mode — and the app configures itself instantly.

REFEREE

Run matches confidently without taking your eyes off the table.

• ITSF shot clocks with tenth-second precision
• Reset → Warning → Technical progression

Auto-Timer detects the ball with your camera and automatically starts the correct shot clock.

Practice mode includes zone highlighting, audio cues, and countdown alerts to help players master tournament timing.

Training Center (Premium) provides structured challenges that track every attempt so you can see real progress over time.  Modeled specially after the practice games and techniques pro-master players use to reach the highest level. 

COMPETE

Turn your phone into a personal foosball coach.

Auto-Timer records games and generates detailed statistics including possession charts and zone success rates. Between games or timeouts you can quickly review video clips, analyze defenses, and identify patterns that help you mid-game.

HIGHLIGHTS & MATCH REVIEW

Create highlight reels automatically from goals and passes, or mark moments manually while reviewing recordings.

Import existing match videos to generate full timelines and possession statistics.

STREAM & SHARE

Share live match statistics with spectators using a QR code.
Display stats on a TV via AirPlay/HDMI or stream with your favorite broadcasting app.

Remote Control allows a second device to manage scores, matches, and highlights from a phone or web browser.
