More:
For coaches & players: record the vital statistics as the game progresses using the user friendly platform and ‘follow me’ prompts. Record baskets made & missed, fouls, rebounds, steals, turnovers, assists, court location of shots, & substitutions. Provides the player & coach with a clear report of an individual’s statistics or the whole team. The program calculates time on court for each player as well. Statistics are stored for later retrieval.
For bench officials & scorers: the app can be run in two modes. One to keep track of the score & stats, and one for scoring only. In score only mode, the user has a very easy interface to record the referee’s signals. Makes it very easy for novice scorers to enter the match data. No need to have a grasp of the rules. Just enter the data as the referee calls it. At the end of the match a clear & concise score card is produced. The completed score card complies with most clubs & association requirements, and can be printed, stored or emailed from the device (requires a cellular network or WiFi).
For clubs, associations & schools: the app makes scoring easy. If they can tap a screen, they can keep score. Takes all the arithmetic & rule knowledge out of scoring. Instant production of an acceptable score card at the final whistle. No more waiting for bench officials to tally up points. Score card can be emailed, printed or stored by the device. Once the score card is approved, it is converted to a secure pdf.

-The ability to turn off the game clock, and ignore substitutions when these features are not needed.
-Storage of player lists with team names, so entering a team name will auto populate the player list.
-Auto sort of players by shirt number.
