New release of Takedown Scoring and Stats.
Version 2.13.7
Version 2.13.6
Bye, Bye iOS 9, 10 and 11
Last December and March we announced our intention to end support for iOS 9 and 10 in the 2020 - 2021 season.
Takedown Scoring and Stats release 2.13.5, available today in the App Store, is the last Takedown release supporting iOS 9 and 10. The iPad models “stuck” at iOS 9 or 10 are iPad 1, iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4 and iPad Mini 1.
Future Takedown Scoring and Stats releases will require iOS 12 or higher (note: any iPad running iOS 11 can upgrade to iOS 12).
If you have an impacted iPad model, you can continue using 2.13.5. We strongly suggest migrating to an iPad supporting iOS 12+ as soon as circumstances permit so that you can enjoy the benefits of future releases.
Moving Data to A New iPad
To migrate your consolidated Takedown Scoring and Stats data to a new iPad:
On your old iPad, email each of your Takedown Seasons to your new iPad using the Share Season feature.
On your new iPad, retrieve the emails sent in step #1 and import each email message’s attachment into Takedown. Double tap the attachment to start the import process. Each email message attachment represents a Season.
When finished importing your Seasons, check to make sure the databases are identical by comparing Reports from the old and new iPads. For example, running the Scoring Details report (for all Seasons) on the old and new iPads should yield the same results.
Note that in order to use an existing subscription, the new iPad will need to be registered to the Apple ID of the subscription purchaser.
Version 2.13.5
Arriving in the App Store today, release 2.13.5 includes bug fixes. This release is recommended for all users.
Also, this is the last release supporting iOS 9, 10 and 11.
Version 2.13.3

Short Time Scoring Report
Important Predictor of Match Outcome
Why do coaches care about “short time” performance?
The reason is simple: points scored in short time are difficult for an opponent to make up because of the imminent time-out due to match clock expiration. Short time scoring is similar to edge scoring in this sense.
Many in the wrestling community believe that scoring the first takedown is the best predictor of victory and that might be true. However, short-time scoring may be just as relevant and if you’re looking to goose your winning percentage, short-time scoring merits some practice attention.
Implementation in Takedown Scoring and Stats
This Short Time Scoring report can be found in the Reports section of the app.
Recognizing that ‘short time’ means different things to different coaches, Takedown allows you to set a short time value of 5, 10, 15 or 20 seconds. For each wrestler, the report displays the number of points scored and conceded within this short time ‘bucket’ prior to clock expiration. Use filters to narrow or expand the scope over which short time scoring is calculated.
The report also provides a ratio - Average Point Advantage - that allows you to quickly evaluate a wrestler's short time performance. This statistic is simply short-time points scored minus short time points conceded divided by the total number of periods wrestled.
If the Average Point Advantage is positive, then your wrestler is scoring more short-time points than conceded. If the value negative then the opposite would be true. This wrestler will be far less likely, on average, to win matches.
As a coach that's what you want to know.
The accuracy of the Short Time Report depends on your having scored the match live because the stat requires an accurate match clock. If the match has been marked as “transcribed” then Takedown excludes the match from the short time scoring statistics.
