Tips and Tricks

Things coaches have figured out that aren't obvious from the screen.

Team and branding

Put your ranking in your team name during the season, for example "Central High School (#4 AAA)". It shows on reports, the scoreboard and Takedown LIVE, and you can change it any time.
Any photo can be your logo: a fan favorite, a senior night shot. Change it as often as you like, on reports and separately on Takedown LIVE.
Emoji work in your Takedown LIVE broadcast name.

A wrestler listed twice, on your roster or an opponent's, is fixed by merging: open the duplicate, tap Edit, change the name to match the other entry exactly, and tap Done. Takedown asks whether to merge the two; tap Merge and every match, pairing, weigh-in and Season from the duplicate moves to the one that's left.
Adding a wrestler whose name already exists on the team but not on this Season's roster doesn't create a duplicate; Takedown offers to add the existing wrestler, records intact.

Use a Dual Meet Tournament for a tri, quad or duals tournament. You set the Event roster and weigh-ins once and score each dual inside it.
Copy last year's schedule, then fix dates. Copy a lineup from the last dual, then adjust it.
To clear every pairing in a dual meet at once, change the Event's weight class set and change it back.
Entering matches from a paper scorebook? Start the match clock in every period so the scoring buttons work as they do live; don't score with the clock stopped and Override. See Scoring a Match from First Whistle to Move On.
Keep wrestle-offs and scrimmages in their own Season so they stay out of your records.

Text a report: share it as an Image and pick Messages.
Share the Season calendar once instead of sending a schedule every week; it updates itself on everyone's phone.
Give media contacts the Media role and the box score is one tap from the Event.
Filter the Equipment Tracking report to one wrestler, share as PDF, and have them sign it with Markup.

A second scoreboard in the coaches' room or lobby: open Takedown LIVE in a browser on any iPad or laptop and connect it to a TV.
To make a wrestler's record on the scoreboard match their real record after a late start, create a dummy Event and score the missing matches as exhibitions, then leave Exhibitions out of your report filters.
