Getting expected lineups in the hands of your fans can be a daunting task. Lineups aren’t often known until just prior to a dual meet and that leaves scant time for document creation and distribution.

Takedown’s new Handout feature uses existing Event information to quickly generate a high quality expected lineups document that is easily emailed to your fans and wrestlers using email addresses in Contacts and Rosters. If you’re using Takedown’s features to get maximum value from the app, then emailing the Handout to your fans takes less than five seconds.

Using Handout

Select the Event, then next to Pairings tap Handout:

This is the onscreen display.

Tap Options to change the document content. You can include/exclude wrestler photos and include/exclude the Score columns.

Tap the Sharing icon next to Options to email the Handout in PDF format. Takedown will automatically add email addresses from Roster and Contacts into the highlighted To: field.

Add or delete email addresses, change the Subj: or add some text to the email body as you see fit. Tap the Apple Email send button (up arrow embedded in blue circle) when you’re ready.

Here’s what the Handout looks like in PDF format — this is what you’re sending in the email. Since it’s a PDF file — the most popular document format in the world — it renders perfectly on any device (mobile, desktop, laptop).

Handouts draws on these assets in Takedown:

1. Pairings for wrestler names

2. Event for weight classes, starting weight class, Event name and date

3. Roster for wrestler photo and email address

4. Contacts for email addresses.*

5. Opponent Teams for opponent logo

6. My Team for your logo

You don’t need everything perfectly configured to use Handout. For example, if you haven’t entered the Opponent Team logo into Takedown, that portion of the Handout will be blank. In fact, the only information Handout requires is the required information for the dual meet — weight classes, starting weight class, Event name and date.

Use the Handout to dazzle your fans! They’ll appreciate it and, even better, if you’re using Takedown properly the incremental effort is two taps. High value, nearly zero effort is the best it gets.

* Contacts tagged as Head coach, Assistant coach, Team Manager, Scorer, Videographer, Parent or SID will be automatically added to the email To: field. Remember: all information in the email can be edited, including the To: field.
