Major Fall Release -- Takedown Version 3.4

The newest version of Takedown Scoring and Stats is 3.4.

Please download Takedown 3.4 from the App Store on all of your iOS 15+ iPads. Your iPad might require updating to the most recent supported iOS version.

Release 3.4 offers an re-engineered scoring interface with more convenient button placement, support for additional scoring types and improved scoring notation that complies with NFHS notation.

We also revised the scoreboard to be more informative, easier to view and read, and more engaging.

Scoring

Convenience

Scoring buttons are close to the iPad screen edges for convenient access. Thumb scorers will love this change.





Choice on restart is selected in the scoring grid making it obvious which wrestler has choice. It’s also easier to score.





Clocks

A paused match clock has a solid background, replacing the pulsing outline, for quicker detection. Also, we added the ‘Head, Neck and Cervical’ clock with associated scoring notation. Secondary clocks are revealed and hidden by tapping the new clock symbol adjacent to the scoring buttons.

Rules

Takedowns are now three match points in accordance with recent NFHS rules changes.


Added Flagrant Misconduct — Contestant, Illegal Hold and Unnecessary Roughness to the list of penalties. We changed the stalling notation to be consistent with the rules book notation which is Sw and S. Also, we added notation team point deduction (TPD) and blood time (BT).




Sticky Note

Need to take a note during a match? The new Notes feature supports taking notes during or in-between matches which are saved to the Match or Event, respectively. Use this feature to memorialize any information you want attached to the Event or Match. Examples include coaching prompts, the identity of an unknown wrestler at a tournament or the name of the coach assessed an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.


Pairings Selector

Pairings selector is represented by a new icon and moved to the left margin directly above the wrestler selection. This is a scrollable list with exhibitions at the bottom.

Also, in a tournament there’s a new selector for bracket assignment next to the pairing icon.








Scoreboard

The Scoreboard feature is revamped to be more informative, engaging and easier to read.

Pre-Event

Prior to entering Scoring and starting the first match, the scoreboard will display your team name and logo, and then rotate through two screens showing your social media handle (just ‘X’ currently) and Takedown LIVE.*

Match Status

The match status presentation contains all information relevant to the match currently being scored. All of the elements have been redesigned to improve readability and overall fan experience. For table-side scoreboard, all match details included are all clocks, a position indicator, a period indicator, ankle band color assignment, contestant names and, of course, the score.

Inter-Match

Between matches, the scoreboard displays team score (dual meet only), the last match result and upcoming contestants. If enabled and available, of photo of your wrestler is displayed

In addition, Takedown Settings offers some latitude regarding which content is displayed on the various Scoreboard screens. For example, you can suppress the wrestler photo if you’d like..

As before, Scoreboard can be transmitted to any digital display via a hardwired connection or wirelessly using Apple Airplay.

That’s a Wrap

Phew! Lots of fantastic stuff in this release. The engineers have been busy bees this past off-season.
