Game Data Form: |
The Post
Game Data Form
can be printed for
gathering data during or after each game. It can be filled in by
your team statisticians.
The data is organized in the same format as the
software's "Data Entry" "spreadsheet" page. This makes
it easy for transferring data into the computer. Use this form if your data is not
being entered into a computer during a game. The form is still
recommended.
If your statisticians are updating the data into your computer during the
game, you should be able to have your up-to-date stats printed immediately after the
game. Back to Top
