Platinum Play Counter: Makes tracking youth football league minimum play counts a snap.

Platinum Play Counter keeps track of each players total play counts, as well as warn you if there are too many or not enough players on field. Enter your players on the Players tab, adding jersey number, last name, and an optional first name. Reorder your list of players any way you’d like. From the Games tab start a new game where your player list will be imported and you can toggle players on/off the field. The Snap Ball button will increment the play count for players listed on field, or you can optionally pause the game time during time-outs or half time for a more accurate stats. Uncheck inactive/injured players and optionally remove them from the in-game list of players.
