Timestamp Logs

A timestamp log is a short record of important match moments. It keeps review focused. Without timestamps, teams argue from memory, and memory is biased.

What to Log

Useful log entries include objective fights, rotations, communication breakdowns, resource decisions, first contact, resets, and moments where the team changed plans. The log should be short. A ten-minute match does not need fifty notes.

Worked Example

Timestamp: 4:12. Situation: team rotated before information was confirmed. Evidence: scout had not called opponent location. Result: objective was lost. Review question: should the rotation trigger require confirmed location?

This entry gives the team a precise moment to inspect.

Artifact: Five-Line Log

Create five timestamp entries. Each entry must include time, situation, evidence, result, and review question.

Common Failure

Do not write only emotional labels like "bad fight." Name what happened.

Check

If the team can jump directly to the moment and test the claim, the timestamp log is useful.
