DakStats Setup

Please read the following hints to ensure that data is being entered properly.
Refer to the quick guide/manual for the specific sport for more information
about setting up seasons and games, as well as entering scores and stats.

Helpful Hints

Opponent Stats

When recording stats for a game, you should enter team totals for your
opponent if you want your defensive stats to be correct. It is not necessary to
input individual stats for your opponents. Only your opponent’s team totals
will be synced. When your opponent syncs, the individual stats are posted.

Entering Text

The data you enter in DakStats will be visible online. Your stats will look
better with proper capitalization and spelling. Please avoid using ALL CAPS.

Player Rosters

Select the player position from the drop list rather than typing your own
description.

Season Schedule

It is a good idea to check your schedule after Web-Syncing to ensure that
your records are correct.

Assign Team Codes

Team codes are necessary to correctly identify the teams when
synchronizing. All teams using the Web-Sync are already entered in
DakStats and have team codes assigned to them.

1. Go to Configure > Teams.

2. Select the current Season.

3. There are 3 options when adding teams or codes:
a. If you need to add a new team that is a member of your

league, click the Via List button.

b. If you need to assign a code to a team you already created,

select that team from the list on the left and click Look Up
ID/Code.

c. If you need to add a team that is not a member of your

league, click Add New. Enter the appropriate team
information and then click Look Up ID/Code. Click Select
as a Non-Member School. Skip to Step 7.

reports. You will then see the Problem Resolving Player window.

If the player in gray is no longer with the team, choose Add New.

4. After the roster has been resolved, the Configure Rosters screen

will appear. Highlight any player that is no longer on the team
(added from step 3) and click Delete.

5. Click Close when finished.
