Live Rotations

A rotation records the time an athlete is off the field during a period. The app does not include the data from that time in the period. This gives you the true demands of the period for each athlete.

You can manage rotations in two places during a live activity:

• The Athletes panel of a period: Use this to make substitutions as they happen.
• The traces: Use this to add a rotation at a time you choose, or to change the times of a rotation.

Before you start

Create a period and add only the athletes who start on the field. You do not have to add all athletes and then rotate the substitutes off. 

Rotate from the Athletes panel

Select a live period to open its Athletes panel. The panel puts the athletes in three groups:

• In play: Athletes on the field in this period.
• Not in play: Athletes in the activity who are not on the field.
• Unavailable: Athletes you cannot add to the period.

Make a substitution

1. In In play, select the athlete who comes off.
2. In Not in play, select the athlete who comes on.
3. Select Rotate.

The two athletes change groups. A rotation icon shows on the tile of each athlete with a rotation. The traces show the time each athlete was off the field.

Bring an athlete on

1. In Not in play, select the athlete who comes on.
2. Select Rotate on.

The athlete joins the period from that time. The app does not include their data from before that time.

Rotate from the traces

1. Select the Traces tab.
2. Add the athlete to the view. To do this, select +.
3. Select the show rotations button.
4. Handles and orange markers show at the edges of the periods.

Add a rotation

1. Drag the orange marker or the + button to the time the athlete went off. A shaded area shows the time off.
2. Drag the edges of the shaded area to the correct start and end times.

You can also drag from the end of the period to add a rotation that lasts to the end of the period.

Remove a rotation

Drag across the shaded area. The app removes the rotation.

Note: Rotations you make in the Athletes panel also show in the traces. You can use the traces to change their times.
