Basketball

The TAS Basketball software automatically creates and updates a file named
"c:\statcrew\comfile.sb" when users enter the Gametime Scoring screen and
after recording each play. The only additional setup required is to open the
in-game options and set Full subs to Yes.

Below are some additional suggestions to keep in mind when using the
software to send stats to a display:

1. When setting up a roster, all single-digit jersey numbers must have a

leading zero (EX: Player No. 2 is entered as “02”).

2. Player names must be entered as “lastname,firstname” with no space

after the comma.

TasComms32 Setup

Note: Make sure that the latest version of TasComms32 is installed.
It is available in the Downloads section of the Stat Crew website.

1. Go to Start > Programs > TasComs32 > TasComms32.

2. Configure the Data Source in the left column:

 Select Scoreboard data under Incoming data format.
 Select the appropriate Sport.
 Ensure the Monitor file field correctly matches the Sport:

“c:\statcrew\comfile.sb” for basketball
“c:\tasbs\comfile” for baseball
“c:\tasfb\comfile” for football
“c:\tashk\comfile” for hockey
“c:\tasvb\comfile” for volleyball

Note: For basketball only, confirm that “.sb” is at the end of
the text in the Monitor File field.
