Game Concepts
From FibaSupport
FIBA LiveStats is built around the idea that the Scout/Statistician is watching the game in progress and will move their mouse left to right as the ball moves up and down the court. FIBA LiveStats was built around the need for the Scout/Statistician to enter information quickly and to assist the Scout/Statistician to do as accurate a job as possible. So, if a shot is entered for a player and the opposition player earns a defensive rebound, the shot is entered on one end of the court and to put the defensive rebound in then the Statistician moves their mouse to the other end to choose a defensive player. Most actions are generated through a shot attempt by a player. In this example, a shot (A) has been attempted by a player and the Statistician has clicked to indicate where the shot has been taken from. Note the prompt at the bottom of the screen asking the Statistician to select the player for the 2pt attempt (B).
Now the statistician has selected the player (Fire - 14) and four options appear – 'Putback', 'Block', 'Fast Break' OR 'Made' '(A).' Note that in the prompt area the Statistician is being asked for a rebound '(B).'
The Statistician therefore has four available options from the Pop-Up Prompt:
- Clicking Made will prompt for an assist (not compulsory).
- Clicking Block will prompt for the player who blocked the ball and then for a rebound.
- Clicking Putback will prompt for the player who attempted a Putback.
- Clicking Fastbreak will record a MADE shot and also mark the shot as made off a Fast Break situation.
Clicking none of these four and simply clicking on any of the ten players available will give either an offensive or defensive rebound to that player. Clicking on a team name will give the rebound to the team and not to the player. The Scout/Statistician can also ignore all of these options if for example the ball went out of court and they did not wish to award a team rebound. In all cases other than 'Made' or 'Fastbreak' FIBA LiveStats will award a missed shot.
