SportsMaze

SportsMaze explains sport for the people watching it. Look up a rule while the match is on, find out what a commentator's word means, or see how a tournament works and who has won it before. RULES, FOR WATCHING For each sport, start with how a match works. Then come the rules you see every few minutes, then the ones that change results, then the rare cases people argue about. Every rule is marked Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced. WORDS The terms you hear on the broadcast, from LBW to the penalty corner and the repechage, each explained in a few lines. TOURNAMENTS 352 tournaments in 106 sports: how each one works, when it is on, and past winners. Browse by sport, by level or by date. FORMATS Knockouts, round robins, group stages and play-offs, the Swiss system, repechage, seeding and tie-breaks, each explained once and linked from every tournament that uses it. ASK Type a question such as "What is a repechage?" or "Who won the 1975 Hockey World Cup?" and go straight to the page that answers it. FOLLOW YOUR SPORTS Pick the sports you follow and they sit on your Home screen, with their rules and words one tap away. Move them to a new phone with a short code. There is no account and no sign-up. REMINDERS, IF YOU WANT THEM The evening before and the morning a big tournament in your sports starts, and every other evening a question from your sports that opens on its answer. Both stay off until you turn them on. READ WITHOUT A CONNECTION Every page is stored in the app, so reading works on a train, in a stadium or anywhere the signal drops. 115 SPORTS Cricket, football, field hockey, badminton, athletics, kabaddi, wrestling and chess, along with kho-kho, mallakhamb, archery, wheelchair rugby and many more, including para sports.
