How to Draw a Play
 

To demonstrate the power and simplicity of E-Playbook we have 'broken down' the process of building a play into 10 steps:

 


Step 1 - Start by selecting from the example offensive formations and defensive fronts.

  13 example offensive formations, each with the offense at the top or at the bottom   12 example fronts, each with the defense at the top or at the bottom
       
   
       
   

You can use the fronts and formations 'as is', or you can change them (then save them) to match your teams terminology and alignments.

 

Step 2- You can modify and then save the formations and/or fronts using the E-Playbook Formation Builder and Front Builder Tools. You can move players, change players names (to match your terminology), or create a mirror image (left to right, right to left) of a formation / front.

 

 

Step 3 - Add your Blocking Scheme using the Blocking Controls Buttons. You can use one of the 20 'pre-drawn' blocking techniques or select one of the 7 'user adjustable' blocks (Trap, Pull, Funnel, Arc, etc...). Just select a blocking technique button, and then select the blocker button - the block will then appear on the field..

Step 4 - With the Pass Route Tool you can quickly draw many of the standard pass routes (Slant, Curl, In, Out, Post, Corner, Chair) with the click of a button. You can select from three different line widths (thin, medium, or thick), with/without an arrowhead, and there are 4 color options (black, blue, red, or yellow).

   

 

Step 5 - The Ball Carrier Tool will allow you to select primary (black background) and secondary (grey background) Ball Carriers or Pass Receivers.

   

 

Step 6 - For defensive plays you can turn on the Automatic Shade Display (to indicate the alignment of the Defensive Players) and / or use the Man Coverage tool to draw figure '8's..

  Show the alignment shades of any / all D-Players   Add 'Man Coverage figure '8's
   

 

Step 7 - With the Drawing Tools you can add the remaining details of your play: Lines, Arcs, & Shapes.

   

 

Step 8 - Select the "Save / Open Play Diagram" button to save your new play. The upper window in the "Save or Load a Play Tool" allows you to select from multiple folders. The lower window lists all of the plays in the selected folder.

 

 

Step 9 - E-Playbook supports six different Playbook Page formats and provides a 'Windows Wizard' that will walk you through the steps for configuring your playbook pages.
