Spotter is the whole Friday-night path in one place — build your teams and print a spot chart before kickoff, keep a flawless book while you call it live, and leave a permanent record behind when it's over.
Free while it's early. Built for high school football, starting in Indiana.
Spotter isn't just a live-game tool. It's built for the whole week — the prep that used to live in a binder, the game itself, and the record it leaves behind.
Build the week before Friday. Pull teams from the shared library, set depth charts and formations, and print a spot chart that mirrors the one you already tape to the desk.
Call it live and the book stays right. Log the play; Spotter keeps the down, the ball, the clock, and the stats — and none of it needs a signal to work.
Every game you finish is saved for good. A browsable public record — box scores and team history anyone can pull up — is the next thing we're building.
This is the app in the booth on Friday night. You tap what happened on the field; the box score underneath is computed from that log — so a correction to any play fixes the numbers everywhere at once.
The whole thing is shaped around one idea: the only work you should have to do is say what happened on the field.
Everything saves to your device the instant you tap it. The network is optional — when it comes back, your game syncs on its own. A dead hotspot in the third quarter costs you nothing.
Pull a roster from the shared library instead of keying in 45 names on a Thursday night. Paste one in from MaxPreps if the team isn't there yet, and it's there for whoever calls them next.
Nothing is tallied by hand. Rushing lines, completion percentage, drives, first downs, long plays — all of it computed from the log, so a correction to a play fixes the box score everywhere at once.
High school football data is scattered across notebooks, spreadsheets, and folders that die with the laptop they lived on. Spotter is an attempt to put it in one place that outlasts any of us.
Teams, rosters, and finished games go into a shared record. The broadcaster who covers that same team in three weeks starts from your work instead of from nothing.
Spotter is new. The prep tools and the live game engine are finished and they work — built and tested against real football, with a rules engine that follows NFHS, not college or NFL.
What's still coming is the browsable archive: the shared record fills up only as broadcasters use it, and the pages to explore it land next. Right now that means Indiana high school football, and the first people through the door are shaping what this becomes.
If you call games and you're tired of the stat sheet, that's the whole pitch. Make an account and take it to your next game.
Build your teams and chart the matchup now.
