Opponent Database
The opponent database is a persistent record of every team you’ve played or plan to play. Instead of typing opponent names from scratch each time you log a game, you can build a library of opponents with notes, locations, and a full history of your matchups.
Creating an Opponent Profile
To add a new opponent to your database:
- Navigate to Game Day > Opponents.
- Tap + New Opponent.
- Fill in the details:
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Yes | The opponent team’s name |
| Location | No | Where the team is based (city, state, region) |
| Notes | No | Free-text notes — anything useful about the team |
- Tap Save.
Add opponents proactively before a tournament. When you’re logging games on game day, you can select them from a dropdown instead of typing names under pressure.
Linking Opponents to Games
When you create a new game in the Game Logger, you can select an opponent from your database:
- Start a New Game from the Game Day screen.
- In the Opponent field, search for an existing opponent or type a new name.
- If you select an existing opponent, the game is linked to their profile.
- If you type a new name, you can choose to create a new opponent profile on the spot.
Linked games appear in the opponent’s history, building a record of every matchup over time.
Building Opponent History
Once you’ve played an opponent multiple times, their profile becomes a valuable resource:
- Game history — See every game you’ve logged against them, with scores and dates.
- Win/loss record — Your head-to-head record at a glance.
- Notes over time — Update the notes field after each matchup with new observations.
This history is especially useful before rematches — pull up your record, review what worked last time, and plan accordingly.
Opponents vs. Scouting Reports
The opponent database and scouting reports serve different purposes:
| Opponent Profile | Scouting Report | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Persistent identity record | Detailed tactical analysis |
| Scope | Basic info (name, location, notes) | Offensive/defensive tendencies, key players, strategies |
| Lifespan | Ongoing — updated over time | Per-game or per-tournament |
| Subscription | Team+ | Club+ |
Think of opponent profiles as the who and scouting reports as the how they play. Both are more useful together — scouting reports reference opponent profiles, so your tactical intel is organized by team.
Tips for Managing Opponents
- Standardize names — Use consistent team names (e.g., always “Sockeye” not sometimes “Seattle Sockeye”). This keeps your game history clean.
- Update notes after tournaments — Jot down quick observations while they’re fresh. “They switched to zone in the second half and it gave us trouble” is gold for the next matchup.
- Use location for context — Knowing an opponent is based in a windy coastal region might influence your game prep.
Next Steps
- Game Logging — Log games and link them to opponents.
- Opponent Scouting — Create detailed scouting reports for tactical preparation.
