This article details the typical statistics setup for a soccer league. For all other aspects including scheduling, site builder, etc, please refer to the general "Getting started guide".

You can record and display stats about a match. Here is an example of 

started and bench players
player numbers and player positions
player profile pic (well 1 in this example)

This chart is automatically drawn based on entered information.

In addition the following information is also recorded
goals
substitutions
cards

Stats are then rolled up for a season and ranked

To set this up follow these steps

1/ Setup > Statistics Setup > Individual Stat Types

Setup like the following screen shot

a/ Add the stat types that you want to record or create your own (to add stat times - NOTE)
b/ Check enable player positions if you want to record player positions
c/ Check started if you want to record players who started
d/ Check bench if you want to record players who started on the bench

Note that player positions / started and bench can be entered by league or team admins in advance of the match taking place

e/ Check appearances if you want the system to automatically calculate whether a player had an appearance based on any stats being entered for that player

2/ People > List People > Players
You then  need to make sure that you have some players in the system.
You can also add player profile pics on the squad page.

3/ Results
Where you enter the score click on the 'Enter Statistics' button to enter the stats.

Started / bench / player position data is shown on the site BEFORE a match is approved.

NOTE: When you create your own stat type or edit a predifined stat type you can enable 'Time Recording' to record the time that the statistic occured within a match.

Stat times entered for a match will be displayed in the match page in your public site.
