Building a Play:   Play Designer takes a simple but unique approach to building plays.   1) You can add one player at a time, or add many at once.   2) Once you do, you can simply drag the player where you want them to be placed. 3) There are two main menus in the system.  Right clicking on the field will give you options for the entire play; right clicking on the player will give you options for that player. 4) You can draw a one sequence play, or you can draw your play in stages (multiple sequences) and allow the designer to compile the play for you and be able to show the individual sequences as well. The screen is split up in a menu for the play (right click on the field) and a menu for each player. (right click on the player). Each sport in the play designer series works the same way. We are using Football Play Designer to build the plays, but the concept is shared throughout.    Step 1) Right click on the field to add a new player.  Once you have the player on the screen, you can drag them wherever you want to. Step 2) Right Click on the Player - Add Custom Pattern and Draw the Route Using the Left Mouse Button at each point of the route.  Click the Right Button to End.  You will have up to nine clicks for each route.   This is left click 1.... This is left click 2.... This is left click 3....when you are up to your last click, simply Right click to end the route.   Step 3) You can add more players to your play by repeating steps one and  two. Step 4) What makes Play Designer unique is the ability to build the play out of sequences....You can build the frames of the play and the software will put together the entire play for you.    Step 5) Once you create your first sequence, make sure that somebody starts and ends with the ball and click next sequence.  The software will move the players to the next spot on the field and properly control who has the ball.  The you can continue to build subsequent sequences and repeat.  More info at our sequence page...
