Setting up a Game Manually

From FibaSupport

Provided you have launched the FIBA LiveStats Application click on File, then New.

The New Game Wizard appears, simply click Next.

When you are asked to specify an upload file, simply type in a file number. If it is for a competition that uses game numbers, you should use the game number allocated by the organisation. After you have entered in a file number, simply press Next

You will be prompted to fill in some game information. All fields except spectators and Court must be completed and our recommendation is that you complete the game number with identical information that you used for the File number at the previous stage. Once completed, click Next.

Now you will be asked about referees information. None of these fields are compulsory, so it is up to you whether you choose to fill this out. Click Next.

You will now need to set up the individual teams with the home team followed by the visiting team. There are two forms to complete for each team. The first is the Team 1 (Home) – Details Form. Certain Information must be completed. You must have:

• Team Name
• Short Name

The other fields are optional. Note: The team code will be used for the FIBA LiveStats worldwide portal page. This page will list all game scheduled to be completed using the FIBA LiveStats software, and will allow basketball fans from all over the world to choose a game they may wish to watch online. The team code is limited to just three letters. In this example we have abbreviated Townsville to TWN. If you choose not to use the team code for either team, then the game will not be displayed on the FIBA Portal page.

Once you have completed the details page, click Next

While height does not appear on the FIBA LiveStats webcast, the position does. If you do not enter a position, then a blank field will appear in the webcast. Once you have entered the relevant data Click OK

Once you have completed the first player, click on Add to add another.

You can simply fill in the player details, then click Ok.

Repeat this Add process for all of the players in the first team. When you have a full team, Click Next

Now fill in the necessary details for the away team .... as per the following example. Then click Next
