The match clock

The clock stamps every event with a minute and a period, so it's worth starting it at kick-off.

The face

The time reads minutes, seconds and hundredths. Above it are four period pills: 1H, 2H, ET1 and ET2.

Start, pause and kick off

The round gold button in the middle starts and pauses. Starting the clock at 1H 00:00 is kick-off — there's no separate action.

Pausing banks the time, so resuming carries on where you were. The clock also pauses itself the moment you start recording a passage of play and resumes when you've sent it, so a long tap-sequence doesn't drift.

Periods and half time

Tap a period pill to move to it. The clock jumps to that period's start: 2H to 45:00 on a 45-minute half, ET1 to 90:00, ET2 fifteen minutes later.

Half length comes from the match and is 45 minutes.

Stoppage time

Once a period runs past its regulation length, the big clock freezes at the end of the period and the overflow shows beside it in gold, as +2:05. A half can run up to 30 minutes of added time before the clock stops itself.

Going back to fix a moment

The buttons either side of play rewind and fast forward.

• Tap to jump 5 seconds.
• Hold to scrub quickly, speeding up after a few seconds.

Seeking stays inside the period you're in. Scrub back to a passage you've already recorded and it replays on the pitch — the pitch stops taking new taps until you move off it.
