Box scores, PDF stat sheets and link previews show each player’s name with their jersey number. A stat line belongs to a person, and the record is open: anyone with a game’s link can see it, with no account.

On public pages a name appears as first name and last initial (for example “Jayden W. #23”), or as the full name for an event whose organizer has turned full names on. Turning them on is the organizer’s decision, made per event, after confirming they have the right to publish them. The PDF stat sheet each coach receives carries full names.

A parent or guardian can have a player shown as a jersey number only, with no name at all. That request overrides every other setting, including an event’s full names.

1. Email hello@hooptrace.com with the player’s name, team and jersey number, and your relationship to the player.
2. We process the request and confirm by reply when it takes effect.
3. From then on the player appears as a jersey number only (for example “#23”) everywhere the public can see: the live box score, final box scores and downloadable stat sheets, across past and future games. The team’s scoring stays intact.

You can also ask us to remove a player entirely. The full policy is in our privacy policy.

We do not sell athlete data or anyone else’s. We do not run ads or ad targeting. We do not share data with advertisers, data brokers or betting markets. Stats are used to run HoopTrace for the teams that record them, and for the people who follow those teams.

Every stat in HoopTrace is an entry in an append-only record. A mistake is fixed by adding a correction that points at the original entry. The original is never edited or deleted, so a box score can always be rebuilt from the record and every change to it can be traced.

When a scorer misses part of a game, it can be completed from the paper scorebook the same way: by adding what was missed, not by rewriting what was recorded.
