In short
Step by step
Who's playing?
In TacticalSnap, open the Pre-Match board from the library. One question comes before the board: who's playing? Nobody types twenty-two names here.
On screen: Library → Pre-Match. Four doors per side. Nobody types 22 names.
Pick a club
Pick a club and search the catalogue: over eighteen hundred clubs and national teams. The squad comes with its date and its source, the likely eleven already ticked. One tap, and it is your side.
On screen: 1,800+ clubs and national teams. Squad with date and source, the eleven already ticked.
Both sides, then Start
Do the same for the other side: search, squad, use it. Then press Start, and both elevens stand on the pitch by name and number, ready for the plan.
On screen: Same for the other side. Start: both elevens on the pitch by name.
Or send the link
You can also skip all of it and send a link. Put the two teams in a TacticalSnap web link, and on any phone with the app the board opens by itself, both teams in place. No app yet? The link leads to the App Store.
