Setting Up a New Game by Using a supplied Game file
From FibaSupport
If the league or tournament which you are collecting for statistics uses the FIBA Organizer product, then they are able to generate FIBA LiveStats Game files which automate the set up process for you. These files contain all of the necessary information that you entered manually in the previous example. When a league sends you files, they are received in XML format. This is the only format which FIBA LiveStats will read in the following process. Always save any XML files you receive in the following folder: C:/Program Files/FIBA/FIBA LiveStats/Import
Launch FIBA LiveStats then Click on File and then New
The New Game Wizard appears, click Next.
At the next screen you are asked to specify and upload file. Click Browse.
We have provided one example XML file for your use. As explained earlier, if the league or tournament you are working with had set-up these files you would have a listing of these at this location. Click to select the single example file we have provided and then click Open.
The Game Info File can now be Uploaded. Click Upload.
The New Game Wizard is again shown, with the relevant Game Information Displayed. You should not need to change any of this information. Click Next.
Note: The game number is the same number that was contained in the XML file that you selected. In this case the filename was LSG2742.XML so the game number automatically becomes 2742. Unless asked by the relevant League or Tournament you should not change this.
You will be prompted to enter Officials. Provided the League or Tournament has entered this information in FIBA Organizer before sending you the game file then this will be completed. If not, you may need to enter this yourself. Once complete click Next.
The Team 1 – (Home) Details page is now presented. Confirm that the Information is correct for the game and then click Next.
The 'Townsville – Players' form is presented. You should not need to make any changes to this unless a player has been approved by the league AFTER the game file was distributed to your club or a shirt number has changed. You should always check shirt numbers against the scoresheet signed by the Coaches.
If you need to change a player number then select a player by clicking on that row and click Edit.
You can Edit any of the details about rhe player. For this example, change the Shirt No. to 24 and click OK.
