| Q: We
inadvertently entered a wrong uniform number during the game, and
cannot find the play to change it to the correct uniform number.
A: The easiest tool for finding a
play where you need to correct a uniform number is the Find function
on the team roster displays. To use it, select Visitor Roster or
Home Roster from the Game Setup menu (or press ALT+V or ALT+H from
the Play Input screen. ) Move the cursor to a player in the list
and press the question mark (?) key. A list showing all the plays
in the game in which that player was involved is displayed. From
here, you can move to a row in the list and press Enter to edit
that play, or note the play for later reference.
Q: When I unpack a file sent by an opponent and import the
game into my directory, it asks me to "reconcile the roster",
showing the roster they put in along side of my master roster. What
do I do on this "reconcile" screen?
A: On the roster reconcile screen you will see
your master roster on the right hand side, and the roster that was
used in the game on the left hand side. The names are matched up
on the same line, based on uniform number. If there was a discrepancy
in their spelling, the line will be blue highlighted (or "marked"
if you use the DOS Utilities). If you unmark the highlighted line,
then the name in the game file will not be replaced. If you leave
the name highlighted, the software will replace that name with the
corresponding name in the master roster.
Q: We misspelled one of our player’s names and made
the correction after the fourth game. Now there are two season stats
being posted for the same player due to the misspelling. What can
I do to correct it?
A: If the name is now spelled correctly on your
master roster, and the player has not changed uniform numbers during
the season, the easiest solution may be to export and then re-import
each game. When the "reconcile" screen comes up, it will
show the misspelling on the left, and it should be pointing to the
correct spelling on the right. Leave this line highlighted, or marked,
to make the correction in the game file. The season stats should
then pull together properly after you have re-imported the problem
games. Or you can load each individual game and change roster spellings.
Q: When setting up a new roster for the season,
do we need to add a "team" player for various team stats?
A: No, you do not need to add a player to your
roster with uniform number "TM" and player name "TEAM".
The software will handle this for you. In the sport of basketball,
"TEAM" will not show on your roster, but it will display
on your boxscore (and will be included in the game XML), and will
include team rebounds and turnovers entered during the game. In
all the other sports, the player "TM TEAM" will be added
to the roster when you create a new roster at the start of the season.
This uniform "number" is used for various team stats,
such as a team rush in football, empty net in ice hockey, or a team
save in soccer.
