Time interval: count only part of the match

By default, a live stat counts from the start of the match. With Count only part of the match, it only counts what happened in a period: for example, shots on target between minutes 46 and 72, not those of the whole match.

Where it is

In step 3 (Conditions), open a stat from In the match, live, for example Shots on Target. After the value, click More options. In the Count list you have:

• From the start of the match: counts everything, as by default;
• First half only: minute 0 to 45;
• Second half only: minute 46 to 90;
• Only between minutes…: you type the first and last minute;
• Only since the last goal: counts from the last goal of the match;
• Average per minute: a pace instead of a total. It has its own tutorial, the one on 1 dangerous attack per minute.

Only one applies at a time. The last two aren't available for every stat.

Example: 5 shots on target between minutes 46 and 72

1. Choose Shots on Target.
2. In Whose, choose Home team.
3. Choose Minimum of and type 5.
4. In More options › Count, choose Only between minutes… and type 46 and 72.
5. Click Done.

The bot checks whether the home team has had at least 5 shots on target from minute 46 onwards. First-half shots don't count.

While the match is being played, it counts what has already happened within the period up to the moment the bot checks. In the 65th minute, it counts the shots from minute 46 to 65.

The bot's minutes and the stat's minutes

These are two different things and it is easy to mix them up:

• the bot's minutes (step 2) say when the bot can alert;
• a stat's Count says what is counted.

They work together. A bot with the Middle of the second half window (minutes 60 to 75) and Shots on Target counted Second half only alerts between minutes 60 and 75, but only with shots taken after half-time. If first-half pressure doesn't interest you, this is what you want.

Watch out for periods that end before the bot's window starts. With Shots on Target between minutes 46 and 55 and the bot looking from 60 to 75, the bot is looking at a moment of the match that has already passed. That may be on purpose, but check.

Time interval or average per minute?

The interval says when the stat counts: a total within a period. The average per minute says at what pace: the total divided by the minutes.

• At least 5 shots on target between minutes 46 and 72 is an interval.
• 1 dangerous attack per minute in the last 10 minutes is an average.

Use the interval when the moment matters, and the average when what matters is intensity.
