Pre Game Concepts

From FibaSupport

To start an actual game, you will need to follow these steps.

Add the starting Five

Do this by clicking on the list of numbers shown at point 3. On page 35. As you click a player number, FIBA LiveStats adds the player to the five on court.

In the following sample, if you were to click on Player 11 for the Boomers, they would appear next on court.

You will also note that this starts to add actions to the 'Action List' at the bottom of the screen.

Start Game

Once all ten players have been added, you can click Start Game and this button will then change to read 'Start Clock' as you see in this example. The clock is automatically set to provide 10 minutes for the first quarter unless you changed this in the Game Options Form as we showed on Page 33. At this point the 'Foul Button' and 'Free Throw Button' are now active..

(Note… Once the 'Start Game Button' has been clicked the clock is set and the button changes to 'Start Clock' you cannot reconfigure the 'Game Options' for the game, it is very important you have configured all options correctly prior to this point)

Start Clock

Clicking on Start Clock changes the clock colour and prompts for a player who won the jump ball. The game is now underway.

Note: During the game you can start or stop the clock using the 'space bar' – this is more efficient than attempting to click on the start and stop clock button.

You can always see what action you have entered by virtue of the 'Action Log'. In this example we have now entered the jump ball won and lost for the respective players.
