What if the player card does not fit in the player wristband I have ordered?

- If the player card does not fit into the wristband you have ordered, the quick and easy solution is to click back to the software - at the end of your signs set-up or in your advanced settings a window shows up that asks how many coaches sheets and player cards you would like, there is an option to select your wristband style as well, be sure to select the proper style so that your player card will properly fit in the band once printed.
 

What are the dimensions of the wristbands?

Here is a list of available wristband styles, sizes and options.
Small Wristband:
Wristband Length - 4 1/2" long  |  Window Size - 2 1/4" tall x 3 1/2" long
These bands are most popular with softball teams and the 150 cell player card grid option

Large Wristband:
Wristband Length - 7" long  |  Window Size - 3" tall x 5" long
These bands are most popular with high school and college baseball teams and the 150, 180, or 216 cell player card grid options
 

How do I change the number of signs on my player card from 216 to 180 or 150 for the smaller bands?

On the home screen, click "settings"
Click - "Update My Print Settings"
Select either 216, 180, or 150 on the second line
Click "Finish Step" to save your settings for future use
 

How do I relay the numbers to my players or coaches?

There are various ways to relay the numbers to your players.  Since it does not matter if the other team sees, or hears your numbers, you can either use your hand to flash each individual number to your team or you can verbally communicate the numbers to your players. It is HIGHLY recommended that you simply use your hand to relay your signs for various reasons.

I ordered the wrong size, or style wristbands - can I make an exchange?

Yes, we will gladly accept exchanges for wristbands that are unworn, and still in their original packaging.
To make an exchange; please send your wristbands back to: 
Own The Zone Sports - Exchange
753 Glen Oaks Dr
Franklin, TN 37067
Please include a note inside the package that lets us know what you'd like in exchange - as soon as we've received the exchange we'll send out the replacement wristbands.

How do my players and I read the player card?

Read the first two numbers horizontally. The third number is read vertically.  As an example, if you are looking at a player card, and the number you wish to relay from the coach’s sheet is 034, to read the player card, the player would first find “03” which in the top left hand portion of the card, once finding “03”, the player would then go down vertically to row “4” (note row 4 is the fifth slot down due to the zero row).  The two character code would tell the player what play to execute.  Visit our "Helpful Videos" page for a demo of Coach's Sheet and Player Cards

Sample Offensive Coach's Sheet and Corresponding Player Card

  1. Pick any number from the coach's sheet.
  2. On the player card, read the first TWO numbers horizontally (across the top)
  3. Read the third number vertically
  4. Example: Coach's sheet number for Nothing (NO) = "215"
    • Across the top - find the number "21"
    • Then, go down to row "5"
    • You should see NO = Northing / Dummy Sign

Can I place an order by phone?

Yes, to order via phone please call 972-514-OTZS. Note: orders placed online with a credit card or PO# are processed fastest.

If I want to use the program offensively and defensively do my players need to wear two wristbands?

No. If you choose to use both the offensive and defensive portions like many do, simply laminate your player cards back to back so it is easy for the players to flip their cards over each half inning.

What are the system requirements for the software?

A simple internet connection and the ability to print your coach's and player cards.
