Created by coaches for coaches, MatBoss for iOS and Android integrates wrestling stats directly into the video you record for each match, completely replacing the need for labor-intensive pencil and paper scoring systems. It’s the wrestling stats app our sport has been waiting for.

Editing matches

core/paragraph

This process can be done on both the device and in your Online Account. The best explanation is in our MatBoss University Videos.

How do I add Telestrations/Sketches and Notes to the match for the wrestler to see?

The flag can be used for critiquing any points in the match. When clicked on, the Flag timestamps onto the video with the term, Mark. During the playback, the word Mark, can be changed to terminology that critiques that point of the match. To change the terminology:

core/list

<ul><li>Click and hold on the Mark scoring symbol</li><li>Click on the Symbol location and the keyboard appears</li><li>You may change Mark to any info that you would like to convey to your wrestler</li><li>The terminology you choose, will appear in the timeline and, like any scoring symbol, can be clicked on to move to that point in the video</li><li>Any Coach’s audio (if microphone is turned On), that can be picked up, will also play during that time</li></ul>

What is the Flag icon located on the left on the Recording page and how can it be used?

If your device has Zoom video capability, during the recording of a match, use 2 fingers (spread apart slowly) on the screen to zoom. It is recommended to be sure the Auto Focus is turned off in the Manage Video of the MatBoss Settings screen. We also recommend using a mobile device case and tripod for steady recording.

How do I use the Zoom feature within the app on an iPad?

Before Uploading, on your device, in the correct Scorebook, and correct Event, click on + Add Match:

<ul><li>From the pull down for Our Wrestler, select “Forfeit”</li><li>From the pull down for Opponent, select “Forfeit” (if Roster of opponent has Not been downloaded, would need to type “Forfeit”, spelled correctly)</li><li>Under the opponent, Click on “Touch here to finalize forfeit”</li></ul>

The term, Double Forfeit, will appear under the thumbnail, and no score is awarded.

How do I score a Double Forfeit for a match?

<ul><li>The Videos will need to be in .mp4 format</li><li>If they are in a different format, changing the extension at the end to .mp4 usually works</li><li>Each match video will need to be a separate file</li></ul>

To accomplish the adding of external video, contact our Customer Support team through a&nbsp;Support Ticket

Can I add external Video to a match that was not recorded with the MatBoss app?

<ul><li>In the Correct Scorebook, go to correct Event</li><li>Go to the last match WON by the winning team and open it</li><li>In lower right corner is a checkbox, with a label that says ‘Override Team Points’</li><li>Make sure that box is checked and then</li><li>Fill in a value that is 1 team point more than would normally be awarded</li><li>Click on ‘Save Changes’ on the left side</li></ul>

How do I Override Team Points to award the winner by tie-breaker?

In your Online Account, in the correct Scorebook, Open the Event.

<ul><li>Find the last match that was Won by the team being penalized and open it</li><li>Click the checkbox in the lower-right of the match viewer, “Override Team Points”</li><li>Change the points to 1 (one) less than showing</li><li>Click on “Save Changes” button in the left side</li></ul>

How do I Override Team Points for unsportsmanlike conduct?

In order for the sound to be muted, you need to have the microphone Off for the MatBoss app:

<ul><li>Go into the iPad Settings</li><li>On the left side, scroll down to MatBoss app</li><li>On the right of the MatBoss icon, turn the Microphone Off</li></ul>

Recording of Videos without sound, will actually decrease the video file size by 30% and aid in the Upload Speed.

For iPads: Is it possible to record matches without sound?

In your Online Account on the computer:

<ul><li>Go to your Scorebook screen</li><li>Go to the Event, Click on ‘Event Details’</li><li>‘Hover over’ the Match you want to Delete</li><li>Click on ‘Edit’ in lower right</li><li>Click on ‘Delete Match’ and ‘Confirm’</li></ul>

How do I Delete Individual matches from an Event?

You will need to log into your Online Account. To move an Event from one Scorebook to another:

<ul><li>Go to the Event you wish to move</li><li>To the far right of the event, click on “Edit”</li><li>Scroll down to the Level, change to the correct Level</li><li>Click on the “Save” button at the bottom</li></ul>

How do I Move Events that have been recorded in the wrong Scorebook?

What are the steps I need to complete to get started on MatBoss in my Online Account?

Login and password

Since the new version of the app allows for watching all video, the MatBoss Viewer app has been discontinued. The users area of our website has gotten a facelift as well, and went live last April. It now works very well with smartphones (another reason why the Viewer app was discontinued), so your wrestlers will be able to use a regular web browser app on their phones to access video.

Has the Viewer app been replaced by logging into accounts on a web browser?

To access your online account, you will need to be able to use Google Chrome or Firefox from a computer or other device. Safari and Internet Explorer are not compatible with MatBoss.

How can Coaches & wrestlers access their Online account?

We have created the MatBoss app with 2 Account Levels:

<ul><li>All Coaches</li><li>Wrestlers</li></ul>

All Coaches will have the Same Login information and Editing capabilities.

Multiple coaches can be logged into the Account at the same time.

How do Assistant Coaches Login?

On Google Chrome or Firefox, log into your Online Account:

<ul><li>Click on “My Account” (upper right)</li><li>Enter your new Password in the change Password location</li><li>Click on “Save Changes” button near bottom of page</li><li>You may also use the “Forgot Password” instructions, as explained above, to change your Password</li><li>If you ever Disconnect/Connect on your device, you will need to use the new password</li></ul>

How do I change my Password in Online Account (Coaches)

New in this season we no longer have team code invites, but you can instead invite your wrestlers to create member profiles. We made this change for security reasons, this way you are better able to control who is invited and has access into your organization.

For the coach, the easiest way to do this is to invite wrestlers from the "Organization Members" page of the website.

If you are a wrestler, please request an invite from your team coach.

For an illustrated version of this FAQ, go to our <a href="https://www.matboss.com/university/wrestler-logins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MatBoss University Video.</a>

How do wrestlers create their Online Account?

After updating the devices to the latest OS version.  If you were a customer last year, Delete the MB app from the devices.

Online account setup

You can share wrestler’s videos with College coaches, media and others:

<ul><li>Log in to your online account and go to the Video page</li><li>Set the filter at the top of the table to the wrestler you’re looking for</li><li>Next to each match, you’ll see a checkbox. Check the matches you want to share</li><li>Above the table, you’ll see a gray rectangle labeled “Add recipients and a message”. Click to expand</li><li>Fill in the email address of the person you want to share the matches, and a short message if you want</li><li>Click “Share Selected Matches” and an email will be sent to that person with a link to those matches</li></ul>

How do I share wrestlers videos w/College Coaches, media or others?

As this title implies, this is for Coaches wanting to take the MatBoss system to a more advanced level. Advanced Tags to be used, are added in My Account in your Online Account. The best explanation to using Advanced tags is illustrated in the <a href="http://matboss.com/?page_id=7853">MatBoss University Video.</a>

How do I make use of the Advanced tags in the MatBoss system?

The best option is to have a separate account for your Middle School level. We offer the second subscription for $259 to those who have high school MatBoss accounts. This would be a completely separate account with its own roster, schedules, statistics, etc. Contact: Sales@MatBossApp.com to purchase a $259 add-on subscription for your Middle School or junior high program.

Can we add our Middle School program to our MatBoss subscription?

The short answer is yes. However, you will need to dedicate one of your Scorebooks to the Middle School so that their matches don’t get mixed in with your high school ones. Also, they will have to be added to your roster, which could result in a very long list when you’re trying to select your wrestler for a match. To alleviate these issues, we do offer a separate Middle School account for $259, to those who already have a high school account (see next FAQ).

Can I include my Middle School wrestlers in my account?

You Connect your device(s) to your account, when you first begin using the MatBoss App. You should only Disconnect, then Connect to your account at the beginning of each new year, or when directed by our Customer Support team. Disconnecting, then Connecting to your account will result in a loss of any video and stats that had not been previously uploaded to your account.

When should I Disconnect, then Connect my mobile device to our account?

In both your online account and the App, you are able to add and/or edit weights for any of your Scorebooks. Your Varsity level should have the weight classes assigned by your State Assn. To make changes to your weight class, go to:

<ul><li>Settings (App) or My Account (Online Account)</li><li>Go to “Scorebook Preferences”</li><li>Add or Edit the weight classes (separated by commas)</li><li>Click on “Save” button at the bottom</li></ul>

In order for the changes to apply to all your devices, you will need to go to the menu in upper right and Click on: “Sync with Online Account”

How can I Add or Edit Weight classes for my other scorebooks?

You will need to Log in to your Online Account. To move individual matches:

<ul><li>When you mouse-over the match, Click on the “Edit” in lower right</li><li>Choose the correct Scorebook</li><li>Choose the correct Event</li><li>Click on the “Move” button</li><li>Scoring data will be updated upon refresh of the screen</li><li>For a Dual, if the Team Score did not auto-update, go to any match and click on ‘Save Changes’</li></ul>

How do I Move individual matches to another Scorebook and/or another Event?

<h2>Online Account:</h2>

<ul><li>Go to “My Account” in the upper right.</li><li>Scroll down to “Team Information”.</li><li>Under “Video Playback” select “Wrestlers can only watch their own video”.</li></ul>

MatBoss W9 – 2023

System requirements

Apple iPad with a minimum of 16 GB of available storage, running iOS 13 or higher, is required to run the most current version of the MatBoss app.&nbsp;

If you are looking to use the 4K recording option, or have a large number of wrestlers on your team, upgrading to a device with more storage is always recommended.

Often people ask for our device recommendation, for the best combination of power and cost effectiveness MatBoss currently recommends:

<a href="https://www.apple.com/ipad-10.2/specs/">Apple’s iPad 10.2” 9th generation, 64 GB, WiFi only</a>

What iPad and system requirements are recommended?

At minimum an Android Tablet (i.e. large screen device) with 16GB of disk space running Android OS 8.0 (Oreo) is required to run MatBoss for Android.

If you have a large number of wrestlers on your team, upgrading to a device with more storage is always recommended.

Often people ask for our device recommendations, for the best combination of power and cost effectiveness MatBoss currently recommends:

<a href="https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/tablets/android-tablets/lenovo-tab-series/tab-m10-plus-gen-3/len103l0010">Lenovo Tab M10 Plus (Gen 3)</a>

What Android Tablet do you recommend?

You may use an unlimited number of iPads with your account. They must meet the minimum requirements as listed above and be connected to your account.

How many iPads am I allowed to use with my account?

We no longer carry the cases and lenses for mobile devices. However, to improve a more steady video recording, we suggest using a case mounted to a tripod (if allowed) for your mobile device.  2 X Telephoto lenses are also available for most cases. We often recommend the iOgrapher brand in which you can also purchase additional zooming lenses.

Does MatBoss sell Cases, lenses and tripods for mobile devices?

You may use an unlimited number of recording devices with your account. They must meet the minimum requirements as listed above and be connected to your account.

How many mobile devices am I allowed to use with my account?

Since the new version of the app allows for watching all video, the MatBoss Viewer app has been discontinued. The users area of our website has gotten a facelift as well, and went live last April. It now works very well with phones (another reason why the Viewer app was discontinued), so your wrestlers will be able to use a regular web browser app on their phones to access video.

Our previous MBU Videos should help answer those questions for you. Here’s the link to videos illustrating Version 6:  <a href="http://matboss.com/?page_id=7853">MatBoss University Videos.</a>

I have an older iPad that will not update to the latest version of MatBoss.  Are there any MBU Videos that deal with the previous version?

An empty device with 16 GB of storage will hold 40-50 matches. You can see how much storage your device has free in the settings or there is a yellow bar that shows up on the match recording screen above the opponents name and shows like a gas gauge for storage.

How much storage will I need on my device?

No, there is no limit to the amount of video. As long as your program stays with MatBoss, the Stats and Video will always be accessible.

Is there a limit on the amount of video I can keep in the Cloud system?

To access your online account, you will need to use Google Chrome or Firefox from a computer or mobile device. Safari and Internet Explorer are not compatible with MatBoss.

What are the system requirements for my Online Account?

TrackWrestling: importing/exporting

Your Stats package in Trackwrestling is included in your MatBoss subscription. We send an update to TrackWrestling on a regular basis. Until that point, you can still log into TW, enter your schedule, roster, etc. When you log in, if you receive an alert saying you can order the statistics package, just click ‘Skip’ and bypass it. In other words, you can do EVERYTHING in your TrackWrestling account without having the Statistics program enabled, except get reports.  If you know that your invoice has been paid, submit a Support ticket and we will follow up with our business department.

When will the Stats program in TrackWrestling be available?

Your login information from TrackWrestling is sent from their system by your State’s governing body. If you haven’t received your info yet, first check your spam folder. If you still don’t find it, contact TW support: http://www.trackwrestling.com/tickets

When will I receive our Login information from Trackwrestling?

Not at this time. We will look to this possibility in a future upgrade.

Our team is in a tournament being run with TrackWrestling, can the match data be imported into MatBoss?

You will not need to export your stats to TrackWrestling for those events run by TrackWrestling. You will be able to verify that the Stats are correct w/MatBoss and have Video proof if there are any errors.

If I’m in a tournament being run with TrackWrestling, do I need to export my matches into Track’s system?

The link between TrackWrestling and MatBoss is such that Events designated as Varsity in TrackWrestling, import into the 1st Scorebook level in MB. Events as JV in TrackWrestling import into the 2nd level in MB. If Events in TrackWrestling are not designated for either Varsity or JV, they will default into the 3rd level in MB. Those Events need to be moved one event at a time. You will need to log into your Online Account. To move an Event from one Scorebook to another:

Some of our Varsity or JV Events were imported into the 3rd level Scorebook, why is that and how do I move them to the correct Scorebook?

With dual meet tournaments, individual duals will not show up in the import from TrackWrestling because MatBoss treats every individual dual meet as a separate event. Since the dual meets in those tournaments have not been created yet, the event is basically empty and there isn’t anything to import. Since you probably don’t know who you’ll be wrestling until that day, here are the instructions for creating, recording and uploading the Event:

<ul><li>On your recording device, go to your correct Scorebook, click on “Add Event” (upper right) and enter the correct information.</li><li>Create and record the matches as normal for the Event.</li><li>Make sure that there is a corresponding dual meet in your TW schedule for each of the duals you recorded.</li><li>Export the event using either the app or your online account.</li></ul>

Our team is participating in a dual tournament, and I won’t know our opponents until the day of the tournament. How should I handle creating and recording the event(s)?

Uploading and clearing of video and stats

“Error: Rate exceeded” When uploading matches

We refer to this as the “NuClear Option”.​ This will CLEAR ALL…So be sure all Videos have Uploaded.

<ul><li>Go to the 3-line hamburger menu –> Click on Settings –> Video Settings –> Click on ‘Clear All Video’</li><li>Then, a good practice is to do a ‘Hard Restart’ of the iPad:<ul><li>Hold down the Home button and Shutdown at the same time –> Until the Apple appears.</li></ul></li></ul>

It is necessary to Clear Videos from the devices, making room for next events and keeping the devices running smoothly.

Is there a way to clear All video from the devices?

When Events have successfully Uploaded to your Online Account (check to be sure all videos have uploaded):

<ul><li>Complete Events can be cleared off the devices after the successful Upload:<ul><li>Go to the Scorebook, select the correct level</li><li>Lightly touch on the Event, slide to the left and click on Clear Video</li><li>The icon to the left of each weight class will change from device icon to download icon (accessing the internet to get the video)</li></ul></li><li>Individual Matches can be cleared off the devices after the successful upload:<ul><li>Go to the Scorebook, select the correct level</li><li>Click on Event Details</li><li>Lightly touch on the Match, slide to the left and click on Clear Video</li></ul></li></ul>

After uploading, the list of matches doesn’t show up, but the iPad is indicating that everything has been uploaded. What should I do?

Usually schools are more reliable than home WiFi, unless Firewalls prevent the Upload process. Even though the Match Videos are compressed in the MatBoss system, they are large files that may take several hours to Upload. In order to have the Upload proceed as smoothly as possible:

<ul><li>It is best to find the most stable WiFi connection location to perform the Upload.</li><li>Using a free app such as Ookla, run the Speed test to determine the Upload Speed, in the location you prefer to perform the Upload, and at the time you plan to Upload.</li><li>A steady speed of 10 mbps and higher is the recommended minimum.</li><li>You should test other locations to find the BEST place to Upload.</li></ul>
