MatStats FAQ

MatStats brings published wrestling results, records, PIN ratings, match-video links and tournament information together, with links back to the sources. Families and teams can also use its communication tools.

Choose Create an account. Enter your name, email and a password of at least ten characters, select the roles that fit, confirm you are at least 18 and agree to the Privacy Policy. Confirm your email using the link sent to you. Continue with Google is also available.

A general beta invite code is not required. A team code, QR code or team invitation is used to join a particular team; it is different from creating your MatStats account.

Check your spam or promotions folder. On Confirm your email, choose Send the link again. If you entered the wrong address, sign out and create your profile with the correct address.

On Sign in, choose Forgot your password? Enter your account email and choose Email me a reset link. Open the emailed link and set a new password. A reset link works once and expires after one hour.

Sign in on your phone. On iPhone, open MatStats in Safari, choose Share, Add to Home Screen, then Add. On Android, use Install on the MatStats card when offered, or the browser menu’s Install app / Add to Home screen option. On iPhone, sign in again inside the installed app if needed.

Sign in to use members-only statistics and your personal or team tools. Your account connects your claimed wrestlers, favorites, calendar and messages. Public help, About, Privacy and published club pages can be read without signing in.

MatStats is free to use. Clubs may collect their own registration fees or dues; contact your club directly about those charges.

Yes. Wrestling profiles, records, linked videos, tournaments and supported Stat Genius questions are useful even when your team does not use MatStats team tools. Team membership is needed for that team’s private communication and events.

From Home, open MatStats Academy in Useful Links and sign in. Choose For Wrestlers, For Parents or For Coaches, then a category and topic; or search for a technique or question. Filters narrow audience, skill level, wrestling style, instructor and video length. Open a lesson to read its details and load its YouTube player or open the original video. Reviewed topic describes title and description checks, not independent coaching-quality review. Choose MatStats FAQ for answers and linked how-to videos.

Type your wrestler’s name in the search box, then select the matching profile. Check the profile details before choosing. Wrestlers you already manage are also linked under My Wrestlers / My account.

Open your wrestler’s profile and choose Claim this profile. Select Parent or Legal guardian, confirm the statement and choose Claim profile. Your account needs the Parent / guardian role. Only claim a wrestler you are authorized to manage.

Up to four parents or legal guardians can manage one wrestler’s profile. When all four places are used, a link must be removed before another guardian can be added. Sharing access does not create a second wrestling profile.

In My account, under your wrestler, open Invite another parent or guardian. Enter the other adult’s email, choose their relationship and create the invitation. They sign in with that same verified email and accept it. They also need the Parent / guardian role.

Choose Complete my profile, check your name, add your mobile phone and choose Save profile and continue. This sets up your parent information for your account and team communication.

For a profile without a photo, choose Add photo, select a shape, choose your image and adjust the fit, then Save photo. New photos require MatStats admin review before appearing. If a change control is not available for an existing photo, contact MatStats for help replacing it.

In My account, find Club shown on profile under your wrestler. Choose from the clubs recorded in that wrestler’s results, then Save profile club. This display choice does not rewrite past results or join a team.

Choose the star beside a wrestler to add a favorite. In Favorites, use the move controls to arrange the list and the home control to choose up to six home-screen favorites. Favorites and following are separate; adding a favorite does not turn on result alerts.

Open Tournaments. Search by tournament name, ZIP, city or state, then use the distance/state and date controls to narrow the list. Open a result for its details. Distances are straight-line estimates, so check the actual route before travelling.

Open the tournament details and choose Get directions. The directions link uses Apple Maps on iPhone/iPad and Google Maps on other devices. Check the posted venue before starting your trip.

MatStats tournament pages show dates, directions and a registration link when available. Open the registration site for any entry information that provider offers; its own login may be required.

Use + Calendar on a tournament card on Home to save it. In My Calendar, set your attendance choice and private notes. Use the offered calendar links, .ics download or private subscription to view events in your calendar app. Keep private subscription links to yourself.

Open a wrestler’s Videos tab or the Video Library. Choose a linked bout to open its video on the host site. A bout appears with a video only when MatStats has a published video link; MatStats does not promise a recording for every match.

Head-to-Head shows recorded meetings between wrestlers, including their win-loss tally and the listed bouts. On a profile, choose Head-to-Head and an opponent. It describes past results rather than predicting a future match.

Open My Wrestlers / My account and choose the wrestler’s name. The profile has overview details, matches, events, head-to-head and linked videos. Record and PIN controls provide different views of available published information.

MatStats brings together published results from USA Bracketing, USA Wrestling, TrackWrestling and FloWrestling. Source links identify the underlying records. A particular wrestler may not have results from every source.

Use Last 365 Days for recent record totals and Career for the lifetime record. The record selector does not filter the separate Events tab’s tournament history.

Choose the PIN control on the profile to view available Composite, Folkstyle, Freestyle and Greco ratings. PIN values come from USA Wrestling; missing ratings are not guessed.

Results follow the daily update process. PIN ratings follow USA Wrestling’s published releases. A new PIN value is not guaranteed every day.

The profile header shows birth year, anticipated graduation year (Class of), hometown and club when available. Missing details are not invented. Check the profile’s source information if something appears wrong.

Open Matches on the wrestler’s profile, then use the season selector to narrow the displayed bouts. Choose All seasons to view the full available list.

Open Events on the profile for tournament history and posted placements. The Last 365 Days / Career record selector does not change this separate event-history list.

A bout verified as the same match across multiple sources is counted once in the connected profile. MatStats does not merge wrestlers merely because their names match; source identities and linking evidence matter. Report a suspected duplicate or incorrect match for review.

Open Wrestlers and expand the filters. Use the available location, profile and record/rating controls to narrow the results. Apply the filters and open the matching profile. The video demonstrates each available filter and reset control.

Get your team code, QR code or join link from your coach. Choose Team, Join a team, enter the code and find the team, then join. Depending on the team’s settings, a coach may need to approve your family.

On the team page, open My wrestlers, select your wrestler and relationship, then Connect. A wrestler whose profile you already manage can connect immediately; otherwise a coach confirms the link. Ask your coach if the wrestler is missing from the roster.

Open your team’s Schedule and find the event and wrestler. Enter an optional note first, then choose Yes, Maybe or No to save the response. Answer for each wrestler separately. Return to the event to change your answer.

On each device, open Settings and Message notifications. Choose Turn on notifications and allow the browser/phone request, then save your preferences. On iPhone, first add MatStats to the Home Screen and open that app. These preferences cover messages and team chats, not automatic results alerts.

On your team’s Schedule, find Add to your calendar. Choose the Apple / Outlook or Google Calendar option and follow your calendar app’s prompts. The subscription link is private and can include members-only events. Updates may take a few hours to appear.

Open the team conversation, select a message and choose Reply. Type your response and choose Send. Available conversations depend on your membership and the team’s enabled chat tools.

Use the plus below a chat message to choose an emoji reaction. Choose your selected reaction again to remove it.

In the conversation, choose Notifications on for this chat to mute it. Choose Muted to turn it back on. Device notification permission is managed separately in Settings.

Open Messages and choose Compose. Choose an available group or type a name, select the adult contact, write your message and choose Send message. Only contacts your account is allowed to message appear.

Open My Chat to see Recent conversations. Use the star beside a chat to pin it, then choose Pinned in the sorting carousel to find your pinned conversations. Choose Unread for unread conversations or Mentions for conversations where you were mentioned. Requests, custom folders and request archiving are separate tools.

Add the coach role and your affiliation in My account. Coaching on the mat requires a verified USA Wrestling Leader membership and NCEP certification. Send your certification from My account for MatStats review. Selecting the role alone does not grant approved coach permissions.

A coach can request a team for chat use. For a full site with registration, Mat Central and a team store, inquire at [email protected] or send MatStats a direct message. Explain your club and which features you need.

Share the team’s join code, QR code or printable sign-up sheet with families. Families sign in or create an account and join that team. A team can require coach approval or allow families to join immediately, depending on its settings.

Available team communication can include team chat, coaches’ staff chat, group conversations and direct messages. The conversations and controls you see depend on your approved role, membership and the team’s enabled features.

Dual Builder has School Dual tools for matchups, bout order, check-in and bout sheets, plus Tournament Dual Coach tools for bout-by-bout records, head-to-head and common-opponent facts. It requires an approved coach or school role and does not predict winners.

Open your team's QR codes & sharing tools. Name the QR code, choose its destination and select Create QR code. Choose Print on the new code, edit the flyer heading and select Update. Check the preview, then choose Print QR sheet to print or save it using your browser. The video shows each step with highlighted controls.

Open QR codes & sharing on your team and choose the business-card option for your QR code. Enter the card text, choose colors and add your logo on the left and in the QR center if desired. Check that the artwork fits in the preview, then download the finished PNG. The video demonstrates the process using a MatStats card with both logos.

Owner-approved accounts can open Private bracket builder from the account menu. Choose a tournament, division, weight and PIN style. Add a draft-only Virtual PIN for an unrated entrant, or use Add athlete to search and select an existing wrestler. Seed bracket by PIN, review the order, build the preview and download PNG or SVG. Virtual changes do not alter official PIN ratings or registrations. Download to keep your work; the video demonstrates an earlier stored roster snapshot.

In MatStats Academy, choose For Coaches, then Season curriculum. This entry requires approved curriculum access. Choose Beginner, Advanced or Middle school, then a week and practice night. Read the objective, preparation notes, timed blocks, teaching cards and coach video references. Mark complete tracks progress in this browser. Print a practice, week or 16-week overview; use Coach handbook and References & downloads for planning guidance and files. These are original MatStats draft plans awaiting qualified coach review. Preview references and adapt plans to your wrestlers and their readiness.

A club site is your club’s public website on MatStats. It can bring club information, schedules, registration and team resources together. MatStats sets up and publishes the site; authorized club staff manage the content and tools available to their role.

Open your club’s registration page, choose the program or available form, and follow its instructions. Registration options depend on your club. Contact the club directly about payment instructions.

Open Ask using the microphone button in the bottom-right corner. Type a question or use the microphone inside Ask. Try “Are there any tournaments near me this weekend?”, “What is [full name]’s record this year?” or “Who has beaten [full name] this year?”. Replace [full name] with a real wrestler’s first and last name as shown in MatStats. Allow location access for near-me questions, or include a city or ZIP code. Answers use available MatStats records; read the supporting bouts and source links.

Stat Genius answers questions from recorded MatStats facts. It does not predict winners, provide betting odds or project future results. Try asking about previous meetings, recorded results or supported ratings instead.

Unrecognized question wording may be sent to OpenAI to interpret what you mean. MatStats validates that interpretation and obtains the answer’s facts from its own records. AI is not used to invent results, write database queries or link wrestler identities.

In My Profile, choose Edit and open Who can see my information to control email sharing. Active coaches on your own active teams can always see your email and other core contact details; other coaches have no special access. MatStats admins can access account details for support. Information submitted separately to a club is handled in its authorized staff tools.

Messages about a wrestler go to the adult guardian, not directly to the child. The primary parent contact chooses whether college coaches/scouts, club and dual-team coaches, or other parents may contact the family. These contact switches are off by default.

Open the wrestler’s profile, find Profile Links and choose Report match problems. Select the relevant match or problem and provide the correction details. MatStats admins review reports; submitting a report does not immediately change the source result.

For a wrestler-removal or account-deletion request, email [email protected]. Identify the account or profile and explain what you want removed. MatStats reviews the request before acting; removing a profile link and deleting an account are different actions.

Open Suggestions from the menu. Describe the problem or idea, choose the device and relevant bug/suggestion options, and add a screenshot if useful. Submit it to MatStats. You can return to see the status and replies.

Open your account menu and choose Requests for requests and updates. On your phone, choose Folders to select a category, then open an item to read its details and status. My Chat separately holds your conversations. Available folders and items depend on your account.

In Requests, use Search requests, Unread or Needs action to narrow the selected folder. Choose All to return to its full list. An empty view means no items match. For unread conversations instead, open My Chat and choose Unread.

Open an item in Requests. Choose Move, select the destination and choose Move to save. Archive puts the item in the Archive folder; it does not permanently delete it. Open Folders and Archive to find it again. These controls are separate from My Chat.

In Requests, open Folders and expand New folder. Enter a unique name of up to 40 characters and choose Create folder. Open Folders again to find it. To place an item there, open the request, choose Move, select your folder and save.

The primary parent contact opens My account and finds the wrestler’s contact options. Choose the college/scout, club/dual-team coach or other-parent groups you permit and save. Messages stay inside MatStats. Separately, My Profile controls who can see your contact details; active coaches on your own active teams always see your email and core details.
