Equal Game Time
An optional feature to assist in guiding a user to achieving greater equity in playing time.
Equal Game Time (EGT) is a target threshold that is automatically calculated for the user.
EGT will be determined by the number of players participating in a game and the number of players on the bench.
Example:
- 21 players available for a 15-a-side game
- 4 x 10min quarters (40mins playing time)
- 15/21 = 71.4
- EGT = 71%
- 71.4% of 40mins = approx. 28mins playing time (40 x 0.714 = 28.56)
The app will assist in guiding the user to achieve the target of each player receiving equal game time.
This is achieved via a tool called the status indicator on the player cards to assist in achieving EGT for all players.
Status Indicator/Health Bar:
An in-app feature which will appear on a player card when alerts are activated.
The health bar will alert users as to where a player is at in regard to a particular threshold they have set (e.g. EGT).
- The health bar will move to the right and gradually change to the colour green (when a player is on the field) as the player approaches the time required to reach the EGT threshold.
- The health bar will move to the left and change to the colour red (when a player is on the bench) as the player moves away from the time required to reach the EGT threshold.
When a player achieves EGT, the dot on the right hand side of the player card will become green.
EGT during a game:
For details on how to setup EGT during a game, refer to the following article:
The alerts for EGT will change dynamically based on the time remaining in a match, compared to the time required by the player to reach the threshold.
EGT will change dynamically if a player is a late arrival or an early departure.
EGT can also be seen in the context of the whole team via a drop down modal on the right hand side of the game screen. To achieve this, select the 'EGT%' in the top right hand corner.
You will then be presented with the following screen:
The details for the game are outlined in the top section of the modal to the right of the screen (Est. Game Time, Time Remaining, Total Players and Players On Field).
To view the details for an individual player, select the player card.
The player's details will be presented in a modal to the right hand side of the screen.
You will be provided with the Time Required, Time Remaining, Minutes Played and the percentage of time the player has spent in each time bucket (field, bench, injury, assessment, disciplinary and opposition).
To view all of these details, simply swipe left or right on the tiles on the player modal.
iPhone Users:
