Changelog

1.3.3 - 2026-03-29

Improved

• •Accurate shot statistics — goals and penalty attempts now count toward your team's shot totals, giving you a complete picture of attacking output
• •Multi-coach game sync — when one coach sets up a game and another runs it, the score, clock, and game status now stay in sync across all connected devices in real time

Fixed

• •Shot count showing lower than expected — match stats previously undercounted shots because goals weren't included in the total
• •Score not updating for spectating coaches — if you set up a game and another manager kicked off, the score wouldn't update on your screen until you refreshed

• •Invite role upgrades — if a parent uses a manager or coach invite code, their role is automatically upgraded instead of showing "already a member"

Fixed

• •Clock not stopping for other managers — the second manager's clock would keep running after the first manager ended the half or game until they manually refreshed
