Box-score scouting, step by step
How to scout an opponent from a box score
Basketball scouting software without film is software that builds an opponent scouting report from box scores, scorebook photos, and stat sheets instead of video.
- 1
Inputs
Upload the box score — a scorebook photo, PDF, or stat sheet. No film required.
- 2
Tendencies
XCIV.ai pulls scoring distribution, shooting splits, foul trouble, and how they play against zone vs man.
- 3
Three keys
The scout names the key threat and the three things that decide the game.
- 4
Practice focus
Each key becomes a practice block — timed, day by day, before game night.
- 5
Share and use in the plan
Share the scout with your staff and turn it into the game plan your players run.
What that looks like — from the sample report
- Key threat: #23 — 22.4 ppg, 58% from 3, 4.1 ast. Force right: right-hand finishing drops to 34%.
- Tendency: 4.2 live-ball turnovers per game vs zone, 2.3 vs man — open in a 2-3.
- Practice focus: Monday zone-offense sets (20 min), Tuesday press-break reps (15 min), Wednesday matchup walk-through on #23.

How Scout works
From document to dossier, automatically.
Upload Anything
Box scores, PDFs, photos — it reads them all.
Drop a JPEG of a scorebook, a PDF scouting report, or an XLSX stat sheet. The AI parses it automatically and pulls out the numbers that matter.
AI Opponent Profiling
An opponent profile that builds itself.
Every document you upload adds to a persistent opponent profile. Tendencies, key players, strengths, weaknesses — all organized and searchable. The profile compounds over the season and carries over year to year. Once the profile is built, move to Plan to generate your game plan.
Scouting Chat
Ask your data anything.
Open a conversation with your scouting data. Ask 'What does this team do in transition?' or 'Who's their best three-point shooter?' and get answers grounded in real numbers, not guesses.
Frequently asked
Coach's questions, answered.
How do I make a high school basketball scouting report without film?
Start from the box score. 1) Upload the scorebook photo, PDF, or stat sheet. 2) Pull tendencies — scoring distribution, shooting splits, fouls, zone vs man. 3) Name the key threat and three keys. 4) Turn each key into a practice block. 5) Share it with your staff and build the game plan from it. XCIV.ai does steps 1–4 automatically.
What file types can I upload?
JPEG, PNG, PDF, and XLSX. Photograph a scorebook, screenshot a stat page, or drop in a spreadsheet. The AI handles all of them.
Does it work without game film?
Yes. XCIV.ai is built for coaches who don't have access to film. Everything runs on box scores, stat sheets, and scouting documents.
How does the opponent profile get smarter over time?
Every document you upload adds data to that opponent's profile. The more you scout them, the richer the profile gets — and it carries over season to season.
Can I share scouting data with my assistant coaches?
Yes. Everyone on your staff sees the same opponent database and can contribute scouting data.
How is this different from just keeping a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet doesn't parse documents for you, doesn't build profiles automatically, and can't answer questions about the data. XCIV.ai does all three.
