About

Whistle Match

Features
Read full description

Whistle Match is the match report, done on the field, by the person who was actually there. A referee opens their assignment list, taps kickoff, and the clock runs. Goals, cards, substitutions and injuries go in as they happen, in a few taps, with gloves on and one eye still on the game. At full time the referee submits the score and the league table updates for everyone. BUILT FOR A FIELD WITH NO SIGNAL Everything is written to the phone first and sent when there is a connection. Losing service in the middle of a half changes nothing: keep recording, and the match syncs when the phone finds a bar. Nothing is lost and nothing has to be re-entered in a car park afterwards. FOR REFEREES - Your assignments, and only yours, on one screen - A match clock that survives a locked screen, a phone call and a dead zone - Goals, cautions, dismissals, substitutions and injuries, recorded by shirt number - Half time, full time and stoppage handled the way a match actually runs - Submit the result once, from the field FOR THE PEOPLE RUNNING THE LEAGUE - Build a season, divisions and teams, or import a schedule from a spreadsheet - Assign referees to matches and approve the ones who register - Corrections after a result is submitted go through a reviewed request, so a closed match is never quietly edited - Standings that recalculate the moment a final score lands FOR EVERYONE ELSE No account needed. Parents, players and anyone else can open the app and see the schedule, the live score and the table. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to dismiss. ON APPLE WATCH Start the clock, see the score and record a goal from your wrist, so the phone can stay in a pocket during play. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO There are no player names in this app, and there is no roster. Referees enter shirt numbers, never names. There is no messaging, no feed and no comments. There are no advertisements, no tracking and no analytics. Built for Nipomo Soccer Club, and usable by any league that runs the same way.
