Frequently asked questions

Where is my data stored?

Everything — rosters, games, seasons, your kid's stats — lives on your device only. Hardwoods has no accounts and makes no network requests. See the privacy policy.

What's the difference between the five modes?

Full Scorebook runs the official book: rosters, per-player stats, fouls, periods, and box scores. My Kid tracks a single player from the stands. Simple Scorebook is just the score — two teams, no roster. Training runs shooting drills and charts every shot. Team Seasons holds every game you archive from the Full Scorebook: records, trends, and player season averages.

How does Training work?

Pick a player, then either a drill or Open Gym. In a drill the app already knows which spot she's shooting from, so recording a shot is one tap — MAKE or MISS. It moves to the next spot on its own when the reps are done. In Open Gym there's no drill: tap the court where she shot, then MAKE or MISS.

Do I need to know the drills?

No. Every drill explains itself on screen while you run it, under "How it works". Nine drills come built in, from Form Shooting and the Mikan drill up to three-point circuits.

When it says "left wing", whose left is that?

Your player's. Left and right are always from the shooter's point of view as she faces the basket — the same way you'd tell her where to stand. On the court diagram that puts her left on the right-hand side of the screen, because you're looking at her from behind the basket.

Can I change a drill's target percentage?

Yes, and each player gets their own. Tap the TARGET chip on any drill in the Training screen to adjust it. Past sessions keep the target they were judged against, so raising the bar never turns an earlier good session into a failure.

What do the coloured circles on the shot chart mean?

Each circle is one shooting spot, showing the percentage she made from there. The more filled in it is, the better she shot; spots under about a third turn red. It's a quick way to see where the practice should go next.

How do I save a game to Team Seasons?

In the Full Scorebook, tap ■ END GAME when the game is over. The box score is archived and the scoreboard resets for your next game — rosters and rules stay put.

How do I share stats?

After a My Kid game, the share card appears automatically — tap Share as Image to text it. You can also share any game or the season from the season view, export a season report PDF, and share the Full Scorebook box score as an image or PDF.

How do seasons work in My Kid?

Games count toward your kid's current season. When a season wraps up, open their profile and tap ⟳ Start New Season — past seasons stay saved and you can flip back to them anytime in the season view.

I recorded something by mistake. How do I fix it?

Tap UNDO — every mode has it, and it tells you exactly what it's undoing. For older mistakes in the Full Scorebook, open the Scorebook, tap ✎ EDIT, then tap any player row to correct their stats directly.

Will my screen turn off during a game?

No — while you're tracking a game, Hardwoods keeps the screen awake. Normal auto-lock resumes when you leave the game screen.

What happens if the app closes mid-game?

Nothing is lost. In-progress games are saved with every tap; reopen the app and pick up where you left off.
