Take the guesswork out of Oztag subs. Oztag Team Manager is a simple game-day tool for coaches and team managers. Enter your squad, tap Kick Off, and the app tells you exactly who comes off and who goes on, every swap, so every player gets a fair share of the game. FAIR ROTATION, WORKED OUT FOR YOU - Built for a 30-minute game: two 15-minute halves - Choose how many players are on the pitch (4 to 10), whether it's 6 this week or 8 next (especially designed for juniors) - Auto mode picks the swap time that gives everyone the closest to equal time on the pitch for your squad size - Or set your own swap time, from 15:00 down to 2:30 - The player who has been on the longest comes off, and the player who has rested the longest goes on - The bench shows who is "on next for" whom, so there's no confusion at the sideline BUILT FOR THE SIDELINE - Big, easy-to-read countdown clock - Clear swap alerts: sound, vibration and a banner - Notifications keep working with your phone locked or in your pocket - Pause, restart a block, or step forwards and backwards if play stops - Screen stays awake during the game ABSENT PLAYERS, SORTED - Mark any player absent and the rotation skips them - Change it any time, even mid-game - Players who arrive late rejoin through the bench in the normal rotation SEE THE WHOLE GAME AT A GLANCE - Rotation Plan shows every block for every player, with total minutes each - Everyone's play time is shown so you can see it's fair TRIES AND AWARDS - Tap a player to record a try; tries show as little blue rugby balls - Undo with one tap - Give Player of the Day trophies that carry from game to game SHARE LIVE WITH OTHER COACHES - Invite assistant coaches and managers using iCloud - Everyone sees the clock, pitch, bench and tries update within seconds - Invite each coach with "Can make changes" or "View only" - No accounts or passwords to set up - If two coaches act at once, tries, trophies and names are combined and nothing is lost PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No sign-up, no ads, no tracking - Your squad stays on your phone. If you choose to share, it is stored in your private iCloud and only the coaches you invite can see it. Whether you coach juniors or adults, Oztag Team Manager keeps the rotation fair and lets you watch the game instead of the clipboard.
