Track matches
Match Tracker
Set up a match, send it for tracking, and check the rallies and shots.
What you'll use Match Tracker forLink to this section
Match Tracker is where you turn a match video into data. From one place you can watch the video, set up the players, send the match for tracking, check the results, and mark the match done.
Come to Match Tracker whenever you want to:
- Send a match for tracking.
- Check a match that's finished.
- Fix rallies, shots, or points.
- Mark a match done so it feeds your insights.
Create a projectLink to this section
Open Match Tracker, create a new project, and pick the video you want to work with. From there, fill in the setup so we know how to read the match.
The setup asks you for:
- A project title.
- The match date — optional, and covered below.
- Singles or doubles.
- The player names and where they stand on court.
- Which hand each player uses.
- A clear photo of each player from the video.
- Segments, if you only want part of the video tracked.
A segment is the part of the video you want us to track, so add segments when you want to skip warmup, breaks, dead time, or footage after the match.
Set the match dateLink to this section
The match date is the day you played, not the day you uploaded. Your Dashboard and your Trends charts plot every match on this date, so it's what decides where a match lands on your timeline.
You'll usually want to set it when you're clearing a backlog. Upload six months of old footage in one weekend and, without match dates, all six months stack up on this weekend — your Trends line turns into a vertical wall and your "last 30 days" Dashboard suddenly contains matches from last spring. Give each one its real date and the same six matches spread back across the season they were actually played in.
You can go back as far as you like, short of the year 2000 — dates before that, and dates in the future, are refused as typos.
We fill this in for you
Pick a video and the Match date field arrives already set: to the day the camera recorded the footage when the file tells us, and to the day you uploaded it when it doesn't. Most of the time that's already right, so you can move on. Check it when you're working through a backlog, because that's exactly where the guess misses.
You can set it in three places:
- During setup — the Match date field sits just under the project title when you create a project. It comes pre-filled from your video; change it if you played earlier, or clear it to let us date the match automatically.
- Any time afterwards — go to Match Tracker, find the project in your list, and click the pencil icon on its row. The quick-edit panel that slides out has a Match date field alongside the title, tournament, and round. Change it and save; your charts pick up the new date immediately.
- Several matches at once — still on the projects list, tick the checkbox on each match you want, then use the bulk edit option. This is the fast way to date a whole tournament: select the eight matches from that weekend and stamp them all in one go.
On the phone app you get the same two moments: a Match date row in the submit-for-tracking wizard, and Edit match details in the ⋯ menu on any row of your Projects list. Set it in one place and it's set everywhere — the app and the website read the same match.
Changing the date never touches your rallies, shots, or stats. It only moves where the match sits in time.
Leave it blank and nothing breaks — we date the match ourselves, best evidence first: the day the video was recorded, then the day it was uploaded. The edit panel tells you which day it landed on, so blank is never a mystery. A real date you typed always wins over our guess.
Fix a match's other detailsLink to this section
The same panels edit the rest of a match's details, and they work on finished matches too — nothing here touches your rallies or shots:
- Title, tournament, and round, on the website and in the app.
- Players — display name, which hand they play with, which slot is you, and which saved player each slot points at. Website only, in the same quick-edit panel.
One thing you can't change afterwards is singles or doubles. Every shot is tied to a player slot, and switching event would leave those shots pointing at slots that no longer exist. If you picked the wrong one, delete the project and set it up again — your video stays where it is.

Send the match for trackingLink to this section
Inside the editor, choose Track Match Automatically to send your match to the queue. We'll ask you to confirm first, and on that screen we'll show you:
- The token cost.
- Your token balance.
- Roughly how long it will take, when we can estimate it.
If you don't have enough tokens, we'll tell you how many more you need and link you straight to where you can buy them.
Check the resultsLink to this section
When your match comes back finished, open it and compare the data against the video. You can fix anything you like before you mark it done.
Demo Clip — Momota vs An Se Young

Shot
Press play — tagged shots appear here as the rally unfolds.
Keyboard & mouse shortcuts
- Space — play / pause
- ← / → — step 1 frame
- X / Z — tag a shot for player 1 / 2
- Click ruler — seek
Here's what we'd suggest checking:
- Do the rallies start and end at the right time?
- Are the shots in the right order?
- Are the winners, errors, and points correct?
- Is each shot tied to the right player?
- Do you want to add a note about a key moment?
Mark a project doneLink to this section
Mark a match done only once the data looks right to you. A finished match counts as complete, and it starts powering your dashboard and insights.
If you need to send a finished match for tracking again, just open it for review first.
