In my team, we use a combination of paper and an Android app.

The Andorid app is an app we custom write each year and we use it to take data all day Friday and then compile it Friday night.

The paper is used to funnel the drive team much needed information throughout the day.

Personally, we use Telerik Appbuilder to build our app because it is simple and straight forward. We choose Android because it is easier to build an app for.

I highly, highly recommend using an app as it makes the compilation of data much easier.

As for your concerns with the coach not leaving the stands, I would suggest having some sort of system. We have a leadership member or mentor in the stands at all times, so it isn't much of a problem for us.

We also use a rolling box (sort of like a suitcase, but plastic) to keep everything in so we can easily take it to lunch with us.

We also use a convertor to charge the tablets so we never run out of battery.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!
