1. Make your prediction Before the match Decide how many goals you'll score and why. Pick your prediction source (which stat or equation you used) and write your predicted goals. You can write this straight into the dashboard Match Log. A prediction made after the match doesn't count.
2. Play the match During Run your bot. If you have a teammate free, they keep the Live Event Log — jot each goal and roughly when it happened, plus anything that goes wrong (bot slows, gets stuck, drifts). Times matter. (Skip this if you're short a person.)
3. Put the score in the dashboard The second it ends Open the Team Data Dashboard → Match Log and enter your result. This is the step that counts. (Exact clicks below.)
4. Say what happened Same screen In What happened? write one sentence that names a stat or a time — not the score. Then say what you'll test next round.
5. Save Before you walk away Click Save and wait until you see “Saved ✓.” If it didn't save, it didn't happen.

1. Check the Week field first. A row left on the wrong week shows dimmed and does not count — this is the most common mistake.
2. Scroll down to Match Log → “Add your match result below.”
3. Pick your Prediction source first. Goals For and Goals Against stay locked until you do — that's not a bug.
4. Fill in Round, Day, Opponent, Predicted goals, Goals For (GF), Goals Against (GA). (Error and Win/Loss fill in by themselves.)
5. Write What happened? — name a stat, a time, or something you saw. Not the score.
6. Write what you're testing next round.
7. Click + Log match.
8. Click Save → wait for “Saved ✓.”

You don't erase your old prediction — each new round is a fresh prediction that learns from the last one. Look at your error (predicted − actual) and predict again: “Our error was ___, so next round we predict ___.” Optional when time is tight

Only if something's contested: write it on the Rule Log right away. You have a 30-second window after the match — no note, no dispute, and once those 30 seconds pass the result is locked. The full ruleset is Match Rules. Only if needed

Note: inventing new rules or formats (the Commissioner proposals) is a separate activity on Days 11 & 16 — it's not part of running a normal match.

On a normal day, run all of it. On a short or chaotic day, keep the four MUST rows and cut the rest — the match still counts.
