Where Statside is different

The math, without the mistakes

Statside computes passer rating, OPS, FG%, save % and more automatically, no formulas to break, no totals that drift.

Live instead of typed up later

Fans see the game as it happens instead of waiting for someone to clean up the sheet that night.

Shareable on purpose

A real public page and embeds, instead of a link to a spreadsheet nobody can read on their phone.

When Spreadsheets & paper might be the better fit

For a single scrimmage you'll never share, a sheet of paper is hard to beat. The moment you want it live, shared, or correct all season, it's time to graduate.
