Searching for plays

To start searching, select the “Search” option from the side menu on the scouting screen.

When you press search, you will see a popup asking for data about your desired plays. This popup will look something like this:

The example above is already filled with a simple search. We selected attacks (A) of the home team (*) that were blocked (/). As you can see, the knowledge of codes is not necessary to use search as every field in this popup will provide you with a list of options available to select. Just pick what you want, and you are good to go. Please notice that we left some fields empty. We, for instance, left the player number unselected. Empty fields are not taken into account when searching for plays. When you are happy with your selection, press “Confirm” to search through the current match.

After confirming your search, you will see new selection colors showing on the match playlist. It will look similar to this:

As you can see, all sets and points that contain plays fitting your search are now marked in green. This makes them easy to find easily on the list.

If your scout is already synchronized with the video, you can press the play button visible next to each point to see part of the match containing it. This is a quick and simple way to do some basic video analysis.

Advanced search:

You will see an advanced switch at the top when entering the search pop-up. This will allow you to enter a new text search mode. This new search uses the same search syntax as video analysis and spreadsheets. It’s a more complex option for finding codes but also much more robust. Here are some example queries you can use in it:

• *X5# – All X5 kills
• *X5#;Z1 – All X5 kills when home team was in rotation 1
• VSAND("*A=","*R#;B-0") – All attack errors following a perfect reception

After you are done with your search, you can clear it by selecting the clear option from the match side menu:
