Soccer Ref

This is a dedicated soccer football referee activity inspired by a request https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/app-ideas/411709/request-a-soccer-referee-app. It was designed to work with both 5 button and touch screen watches, be simple to use, very stable with clear screens. Tap for select is disabled by default on active play screens to prevent accidental touches. It can record goals, fouls with violation codes, substitutions etc as well as extra time. ⭐See the settings on phone Connect IQ app and from watch first screen using menu (hold up button). The touch keypad selection mode only works for watches with touch capability, otherwise they use a scrolling list. ⭐Summary results from previously saved matches (up to 10) may be viewed post match from the first screen (Down button or swipe up on touchscreen watches). ⭐Game event details are stored with laps in the Garmin 'FIT' file format, which also stores the usual activity metrics like heartrate and heatmap to be viewed in Garmin Connect. Unfortunately, Connect does not show the soccer specific event details. Therefore, I wrote a small Windows application (get it here: https://litdev.uk/Garmin/SoccerRefAppSetup.exe) to read the FIT file (or downloaded zip). A zip containing an activity FIT file is easily downloaded from Connect website (settings cog - Export File). I haven't written comprehensive instructions, as I hope it is relatively intuitive (see 'What's New' and short videos below) - there are only 4 buttons (and touch equivalents) that pretty much do the same on all activity apps: next (swipe up), previous (swipe down), back (swipe right) and start/stop/select (tap), in some cases button hints (*) are provided. Violation codes: Yellow cards (YC) C1 : Unsporting behaviour : UB C2 : Dissent : DT C3 : Persistent infringement : PI C4 : Delaying restart : DR C5 : Respect distance : FRD C6 : Entering field : EF C7 : Leaving field : LF Red cards (RC) S1 : Serious foul play : SFP S2 : Violent conduct : VC S3 : Spitting : SP S4 : Deny goal handling : DGH S5 : Deny goal freekick : DGF S6 : Abusive language : AL S7 : Second yellow : CT2 Any suggestions or comments for improvement very welcome with 'Contact Developer', and please leave a review if you like it. Most of the development improvements have come as direct consequences of suggestions.
