@chambers, that's why we kept a paper running total on a separate sheet and had them sign that. Also for each dual there is a place to enter the name of the official, so my guess would be that if you have him enter his name that would count as well. @CoachJoyce Doing multiple matches simultaneously is possible with multiple iPads. So us for example, we have 5 total iPads. I bought one and two other coaches each own one and the school provided us with two. So if JV and varsity go separate places we will send 3 iPads to one location and 2 to the other. So then when you upload them (as long as they are all on the same event) it all uploads together. So we could potentially film several mats at one time and then when you upload film from the iPad, it consolidates it under the same event. As a side note, if you happen to miss a match or have technical difficulties and keep score on paper, you can later put the stats into MatBoss, you just won't have the video of it.

At DeKalb we started using it last year. It is a really nice program. I always like running the reports and being able to show data and sort it. Plus when tournament time comes around I can print out one sheet that has all the results for that kid throughout the year rather than going back through handwritten books. My wife does all our video and stats with it and if we have multiples going, we just have someone who isn't wrestling go to that match. We no longer have managers or a paper score book. Plus it's nice that you have a place to upload film and everyone can watch it. We do (for duals) keep a running total score on paper additionally, but we haven't run into any problems.

Class Wrestling/Team State/Growing Wrestling
CoachGaff replied to Clint Gard's topic in Past Discussions
Completely agree about losing the middle of the road kids. The kids that are balls deep and all in are the ones that love the sport and are going to keep on keeping on. We have to keep it appealing to the kids that are multi-sport athletes and kids that maybe "like wrestling" but haven't fallen in love with it yet. I was always football first, but my football coaches encouraged me to wrestle. I stuck with it after getting beat on as a frosh/soph and then it became a lot more fun and I fell in love with it when I started to make that jump and be the one hammer instead of the nail. Keeping kids interested until they start to have success is harder and harder because everyone wants things handed to them. That's one of the great lessons of wrestling is that you aren't entitled to anything. -
Year round wrestling hurting the sport?
CoachGaff replied to Wrestling Scholar's topic in Past Discussions
The "one sport superstar" mentality drives me nuts. I hate it. I have a kid that is a very good baseball player (and would be a good football player) that says he is going to drop baseball to work more on wrestling. I've had some of my football players that think if they stop wrestling they'll magically get more playing time and better at football. Be well rounded. Be an athlete and have fun doing it. Kids that are great all-around athletes choose to give up on something they enjoy and are good at and it is really disappointing. The middle tier kids that would turn out to be very very good, but not elite choose not to stay because they think they'll be a one sport superstar in something else. -
