Using a game in Sportscode or Nacsport
Download a finished game as a file your analyst opens with every score, wide, play action, card and sub already tagged.
Every moment you log on the sideline can go straight into your analyst’s video software. The game opens as a timeline with each clip already tagged, so they start with the coding done. This comes with the Match Analysis add-on for clubs, and Live Scoring for counties.
Download the game
- After full time, open the match report.
- Under Video analysis, tap Download for Sportscode or Nacsport.
- Choose what goes in: their scores and wides, the play actions, and cards and subs. Our scores and wides are always in.
- If you know where the throw-in is in your video, put it in, for example 02:14. Otherwise leave it blank.
Pick Dartfish or a spreadsheet instead to get a CSV, with one row per moment.
Open it in Sportscode
- Open the movie of the game.
- Move the playhead to the throw-in.
- Choose File › Import › Sportscode XML, pick the file, and choose to line up the first instance with the playhead.
Open it in Nacsport
Import the file as an XML timeline and link it to the video of the game. If the clips start early or late, use Anchor Register to move them all, so the Throw-in clip sits on the throw-in.
What you get
- A row for each kind of moment: goals, points, 2-pointers and wides for both teams, each play action, cards and subs. Our rows are green and theirs are orange.
- Labels on each clip: the player, who set the score up, where the attack started, the zone and the half.
- Clips start a little before the moment so you see the build-up: 15 seconds for a score, 8 for a play action, 10 for a card or sub.
If the second half is out
If the camera stopped at half time, the second half won’t line up. Move the 2nd half throw-in clip, and everything after it, to the throw-in in your video.
Older games
Games logged before timing to the second came in have each moment’s minute only, so each clip covers the whole minute.
Keep it to the team
The file names players, including under-18s. Keep it to the team’s coaching and analysis. We note who downloaded it.
