Features
Read full description

PIVOT TMS is the match-day app for hockey tournaments run on PIVOT TMS. It is for the people at the table and on the bench: technical officials who run the match, and team managers who look after their team. RUN THE MATCH • The clock — quarters, breaks, extra time and shoot-outs, with the real rules for each. • Goals, cards, penalty corners, substitutions, referrals and injuries, recorded as they happen and attributed by shirt number. • Sin-bin timers that count down on screen and sound when a player is due back. • Shoot-outs with named squads, the toss and every attempt. • Sign-off on the glass by both managers and the umpires, then the official result. HANDS ON THE GAME, NOT THE SCREEN • The PIVOT Start/Stop button — a small Bluetooth button that starts and stops the clock with one press, even with the phone in your pocket. • Apple Watch — the match on your wrist: score, period and clock, with start/stop, goals, cards, penalty corners, substitutions and shoot-out attempts from the watch. • Live Activity — the clock and score on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. NO SIGNAL? NO PROBLEM Download your fixtures before the day. Everything you record is kept on the device and sent to PIVOT TMS the moment a connection is back. FOR TEAM MANAGERS • Your matches, line-ups and kit colours, submitted before push-back. • The match record and sign-off, with the details you are attesting to. Sign in with the account your association has set up for you on PIVOT TMS. The app works alongside your association's PIVOT TMS site, where events, fixtures, officials and results are managed.
