What are the different SportsCode Data Imports

Any OpenField Console can import the classic SportsCode exported XML but only OpenField Console builds 3.3+ can import a Hudl Sportscode XML.

This file can be exported from your SportsCode software by selecting the timeline (and specific timeline instances) and exporting as a single XML file. Once exported, this XML file needs to be copied to your OpenField laptop.

Note: When using SportsCode, we recommend your coding window include a ‘Start’ code. This ‘Start’ code MUST be selected at the beginning of each period (e.g. 1st half; 2nd half). This will enable SportsCode to be correctly aligned with the periods created in OpenField.
