ZKickoff + PlayMetrics
PlayMetrics offers a QR game-scoring assistant. ZKickoff complements the match-day picture with a full goal-by-goal timeline, offline capture, a discipline-and-suspension workflow, referee payouts and a coach tactics board.
How they work together
If you already use PlayMetrics for scoring, ZKickoff adds the operational depth around the match — offline-safe referee reports, discipline and suspensions, referee payouts and a tactics board — plus a real free tier to start. Use them together on match day.
What ZKickoff adds for soccer
