Ordering Info

Big G Software's Windows version of Basketball Stats is a program of unlimited capacity which runs under  Windows 95 or later.  You may keep stats for an unlimited number of leagues, teams, players and seasons.

The program contains an extensive help file and a Microsoft Word 97 document which produces a printed manual.

  When using the program, the following sequence of events is followed:

• Erase The Sample Data -- The program is shipped with sample data for several teams for several seasons so that you may experiment with the various features and reports without having to enter your own test data.  After experimentation is complete, and you have a feel for the way the program works, you should erase the sample data before beginning to enter your own data.  Sample data is erased by selecting "Delete All Stats and Start Over" from the Utilities Menu.

• Set Up One or More Leagues -- Each team must be assigned to a league, so before setting up teams you must set up a league.  Select "Enter or Edit League Info" from the File Menu.

• Set Up One or More Teams -- Each team is assigned to a league.   Select "Enter or Edit Team Info" from the File Menu.

• Set Up One or More Seasons -- All data entry is matched to a season.   Select "Enter or Edit Season Info" from the File Menu.

• Set Up User Defined Stats for Each Team for Each Season -- The program keeps 29 pre-defined stats for your team and your opponents game stats, and allows you to name four additional stats to be kept.  These user defined stats will be totaled and averaged, but there is no provision for you to enter formulas for calculating with these stats.  Select "Enter or Edit User Defined Stats" from the File Menu.   You may set up a "default" set of user defined names to be used by all teams.

• Set Up Performance Rating Scale Values for Each Team for Each Season -- The program calculates a performance rating for each player and for the team when printing reports.  You set up a plus / minus point scale to be used in this calculation.  Select "Enter or Edit Rating Scale Values" from the File Menu.  You may set up a "default" set of rating scale values to be used by all teams.

• Enter Player Names Into the File -- Player names are not entered directly into the roster.  Since this is a multi season program, a player can progress from Freshman to JV to Varsity in subsequent years.  The player file contains the players name and address information.  Select "Enter or Edit Player Names" from the File Menu.

• Set Up a Roster for Each Team for Each Season -- Players from the player file are assigned to a roster each season.  The roster also includes jersey number, class, position, etc.  Select "Enter or Edit Roster" from the File Menu.

• Set Up a Schedule for Each Team for Each Season -- The schedule is optional.  It does not interact with the program in any way.  It is included as a convenience for you to be able to print a schedule from the program.  Select "Enter or Edit Schedule" from the File Menu.

• Print a Data Entry Summary Sheet -- Prior to summarizing your data for entry into the computer, print a summary sheet.  It lists each player on your roster plus your opponent and organizes the data for easy entry into the program.  Select "Data Entry Summary Sheet" from the Reports Menu.

• Enter Game Stats -- For the current season, you will enter your stats game by game.  You may print game reports, season reports, etc as the season progresses.  Select "Enter Game Stats" from the File Menu.

• Enter Season Stats -- If you have historical season data, you may enter it into the program by season rather than having to enter it game by game.   Select "Enter Season Data" from the File Menu.

• Edit Game or Season Data -- You may edit any data previously entered.   Simply select the game or season to be edited and make corrections in the same manner as you entered the original data.

Reports available include reports for the current season for your team and multi season reports for your team and/or league.  Reports may be sent to the printer, screen, text file on disk, or HTML file on disk.  When selecting games to be included in a report, you may select them one at a time from a list of available games, select all games, select by category -- home, away, neutral site;  conf or non-conf;   tournament;  reg season, pre season, post season, or practice -- or any combination of these categories.  The following reports are available from the program (click on the menu at left to view sample reports):

• Team Detail Reports -- These reports list each player's stats along with totals for your team and your opponent.  You may select one game or any number of games from the same season.

• Individual Player Report -- This report lists stats for all games played by a player plus totals and per game averages.  You select the games to be included in the report.

• Average Reports -- This report is similar to a team detail report, except that it lists each player's averages rather than their total stats for each game.   You have a choice of per game averages or per minute averages, and you select the games to be included in the report.

• Season Detail Report -- Similar to a team detail report except that the source of the report is data which was entered as season data rather than game by game data.  Allows you to print reports based on your historical data which was entered on a season basis.

• Rank Players -- Ranks players for one season on any stat or stats you select.  You may select one or all stats kept by the program plus a summary ranking of combined shooting stats and combined rebound stats.  All selected stats will be combined into one report.  You select the games to be included in the report.

• Season Summary Report -- Lists all games played to date for one season, along with scores and home/away column.  Also summarizes games won & lost and total and average points scored by your team and opponents by season, conf, non-conf, home, away, and neutral site.

• Roster -- You may print a roster for any team for any season.  You have the option of entering six lines of text to be printed at the bottom of the roster.   This text may include coaches names, phone numbers, team managers, etc.

• Schedule -- You may print a schedule for any team for any season.   You have the option of entering six lines of text to be printed at the bottom of the schedule.  This text may include coaches names, phone numbers, team managers, legend for conf games, homecoming, etc.

• Team Summary Reports -- A team summary is similar in format to a team detail report, except rather than printing stats for individual players, team stats for each game are printed along with team totals and per game averages.  You select games to be included.

• Opponent Reports -- Although opponents team stats are printed at the bottom of team detail reports, you may also print a report of opponents team stats for any group of games you select.  Totals and per game averages are printed at the bottom of this report.

• Mailing Labels -- You may print mailing labels for league commissioners, coaches, and players.  The program gives you a choice of two of the more standard sizes of labels in two formats -- a one up format for dot matrix printers, and a sheet label format for laser and ink-jet printers.
  
• Player List -- You may print a list of players which includes their name, address, and phone numbers.

• Data Entry Summary Sheet -- Print this sheet for your team before summarizing your game or season data for entry into the program.  It prints your players names and your opponent along with space to record data for each stat.

• Multi-Season Team Summary -- Similar to the team summary report, except that it prints team season data for each season selected along with totals and per season averages.  You select the seasons to be included.

• Multi-Season Individual Player Stats -- Similar to the individual player report, except that it prints individual player season data for the player and seasons selected.  It also prints totals and per game averages.

• Multi-Team / Multi-Season Player Ranking -- This is a league report.  You select the league, the seasons, the team(s) and the stats to be ranked.  You may also select the number of players to be included in the ranking -- from all players to top 10 or top 25, etc.
  
• Multi-Team / Multi-Season Team Ranking  -- Similar to the Multi-Season Player Ranking report above, except that teams are ranked based on their team stats.
