# IPSC coaching — coaches, stages and ranking by division

> The coach publishes stages with briefing, setup, drawing and videos; the shooter enrolls in a division, logs every run with a BLE timer and both follow the progress.

Resumo (pt-BR): **Coaching IPSC — treinadores, stages e ranking por divisão**. O treinador publica stages com briefing, montagem, desenho e vídeos; o atleta se inscreve na divisão, registra cada passada com timer BLE e os dois acompanham a evolução.

Coaching puts coach and shooter in the same place: the coach prescribes the work — conditioning, stage strategy and the detail of every transition — and the shooter runs it, logs the run and sees where they gained and where they lost. Scoring is the same as Athlete Training, so hit factor and projected all-A time compare across both tools.

## For the coach

- Stage with briefing, setup details, a drawing linked from Stage Designer and its own cover
- Unlisted YouTube videos and Google Drive files, without the address showing on the page
- Drills written inside the stage: what to run, what to watch and what to fix
- Your own page with bio, links and all your stages — open or restricted to subscribers
- Enrolled list with runs, best hit factor and each shooter last activity

## For the shooter

- Enrollment by division, major or minor power factor — and more than one division on the same stage
- Run entry on the same grid as Athlete Training: A/C/D/M/NS, PROC, hit factor and projected all-A time
- Special Pie SP M1A2 and Shooters Global SG Timer over BLE: time and splits filled in automatically, with the model recognized on connect
- Ranking by division with each shooter best run, and the option to train off the ranking
- Run-by-run history with a progress chart and the best hit factor so far

## How it works

1. **The coach builds the stage**: Briefing, setup, drawing and videos; picks the accepted divisions and whether the stage is open or part of the subscriber library. [Stage Designer](https://scoring.services/pages/stage-designer.md)
2. **The shooter enrolls**: Picks the division and power factor, then gets the full briefing, the videos and the drills.
3. **Logs the run**: Tap grid on the phone, BLE timer filling time and splits, and the summary with hit factor before saving.
4. **Both follow along**: Ranking by division and progress history; the coach sees the whole group and each shooter. [Athlete training](https://ipsc.digital/)

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need to be a registered coach to publish stages?

Yes. In this version the coach profile is created by the platform administration; the shooter uses a regular account to enroll and log runs.

### Which timers are supported?

Special Pie SP M1A2 and Shooters Global (SG Timer, Sport, 2 and GO), over Bluetooth. The model is recognized on its own when it connects — the device name decides nothing. Web Bluetooth works on Chrome, on Android and desktop; on iPhone the time is typed on the keypad.

### Is the Coaching hit factor the same as an official match?

The calculation is the same as Athlete Training: points over time, A/C/D by power factor and the M, NS and PROC penalties. It is meant to compare runs with each other, not to replace official match certification.

### Are the coach videos public?

The video address does not appear on the page: it is resolved only when you open it, and only for whoever has access to the stage. That protects the video from being found from the outside — someone who already has access can still copy the link.
