Home view

The iPlayByPlay home view lets you choose the task you want to perform.

Before you are able to collect game statistics you must create teams and games by using the team manager and game manager. After you collect game statistics you can analyze the results by viewing a location chart or share the box score and play by play list through email. Setup allows you to change application settings so that you can customize the collection of the game event information which is important to you. Additional settings are available in iPhone settings for iPlayByPlay.

You may also purchase the full edition from within the free edition of iPlayByPlay. Begin the purchase process by tapping the "Get Full Edition" button. At the end of the process you will be asked to confirm your purchase by tapping a "Purchase" button.

Team Manager allows you to add and manage teams, rosters and players. When a team is created, a default roster and a set of default players are also automatically created for the team. You may replace the default player data with the information you choose or you may add additional players to the team and roster.

Teams may have multiple rosters such as a roster for last season and a roster for the current season. Rosters may be created for a season, a specific tournament or for any set of games for which the team may have a common roster. When you set up a game, you will choose the roster which is to be used for that game. Players may be added to a roster from the list a players available for the team.

Players belong to a team but must be included on a roster if you want to collect game statistics for that player in a given game. Teams can contain many players including players who may not be on an existing roster.

Game Manager allows you to set up the games for which statistics can be collected. For the game setup you will choose a game style, the home and visiting teams participating in the game and the roster to be used for each team during the game.

You will choose one of the nine templates for the game style. Game style templates specify the court style and the number of regulation periods (either two halves or four quarters).

There are five court styles from which to choose.

• NCAA Women
• NCAA Men
• WNBA
• NBA
• FIBA

Each regulation and overtime period has three clock values and a foul reset indicator that can be set independently of the other periods.

• Duration: which sets the duration of the period
• Continuous Clock: which determines whether the game clock runs continuously for all or part of the period or whether it automatically stops for events such as violations and fouls
• Made Basket Clock: which determines whether or not the game clock stops upon a made basket at some time during the period
• Reset Fouls: which determines whether or not the foul count is reset at the beginning of the period

Once you have chosen a game style template and modified it according to your needs, you can give your game style a name and reuse the style for any of your games.

Collect Stats allows you to collect the game event information. You will first choose one of the games which you defined in the Game Manager.

The collection view for the game enables you to increment the period as necessary and to start and stop the game clock. Once the clock is running, it may be stopped manually by tapping the pause button or timeout button, or the clock may be stopped automatically by specific game events, depending upon how you have set up the clock to behave. The possession arrow direction can be set manually at any time and it is changed automatically after each held ball event.

The following game events can also entered from the collection view.

• Violations: traveling, carrying, double dribble, 3-second lane violation, over and back violation, closely guarded violation, inbounds 5-second violation, backcourt 10-second violation, shot clock violation
• Fouls: foul, offensive foul, intentional foul, flagrant foul, technical foul, bench technical foul
• Shots: missed 1-, 2-, and 3-point shots, made 1-, 2-, and 3-point shots
• Other: rebound, steal, block, offensive assist, defensive assist, held ball, turnover. Rebounds are automatically classified as offensive or defensive.

Analyze allows you to view location charts for any of the game events for which you collect location information. You can display a chart with your choice of game, players, periods, and game events.

Share Data (Export) allows the box score and play by play information for any game to be shared (exported) from your iPhone through email. The box score is exported as a CSV file while the play by play information is exported both as a CSV file and as an html file which can be easlily added to your team website.

The box score seen in the collection view combines some of the game events (for example, all turnover events are combined into a turnover column in the table) while the box score that is exported contains a column for each of the individual game events which were collected (individual columns for traveling, carrying, and so on).

Setup allows you to change application settings so that you can customize the collection of the game event information which is important to you.

You may choose whether or not to track individual game events. If you choose not to track a particular event, you will also be able to choose whether the button for this untracked event is disabled or hidden on the collection view.

Some events also allow you to track the court location at which the event occurred. You may view a location chart for the events which you choose to collect the court location information.

Some events can involve multiple players. For multiple-player events, you may choose whether or not to track the second player. A steal is an example of a multiple-player event. If you choose to track the second player in a steal event, then the first player is credited with a steal and the second player is assigned a turnover. Alternatively, if you choose not to track the second player for a steal, you would still be able to assign a turnover to the second player by entering a separate turnover event. Fouls are another event where you may choose to track a second player. In this case, the first player is the player who committed the foul and the second player is the player against whom the foul was committed. There is no alternative method for entering information about the player who was fouled.

Get Full Edition allows you to purchase the full edition of iPlayByPlay directly from within the free edition. The full edition does not limit the number of games or the number of events that may be collected within a game. It also allows the box score and play by play information to be shared (exported) from your iPhone through email for an unlimited number of games.

iPhone settings for iPlayByPlay

• End of Period Vibration Alert: You may choose whether or not your iPhone will vibrate as the game clock reaches zero at the end of a period.
• Increment Period Alert: You may also choose whether or not a notification alert will appear anytime you increment the period. You might want to turn this notification alert off after you become more familiar with using iPlayByPlay.
• Enable Game Clock: The game clock may be enabled or disabled as you choose. You can disable the game clock here if the game clock time is not important to you or if it is too difficult to keep the iPlayByPlay game clock synchronized with the actual game clock at the venue. Disabling the game clock here just means that the clock will not run in the application. You can still set the game clock to a particular value anytime you want but the clock will not count down. Disabling the game clock also means that the minutes played will likely not be determined correctly for the players. If you are not interested in when a game event occurs (that is, the time on the game clock when the event occurs) then you should disable the game clock. If you choose to enable the game clock, then the game clock will stop automatically for some events, start automatically for other events or you can start and stop the game clock manually.
• Hide Disabled Clk Start: When the game clock is disabled you also have the choice of hiding the game clock start/pause button so that it does not appear on the "Collect data" view.
• Sort Numerically: You may choose to sort the players either numerically by jersey number or alphabetically by player name. Turn the switch on to sort numerically. The display of players is affected by this switch in the player substitution view, when a player is chosen for a game event, and when the results are presented such as in box scores.
• Show More Players: This switch gives you the opportunity to show more than five player buttons for each team on the "Collect Data" view. Up to sixteen player buttons for each team will be available. You might choose this option if tracking game playing time is not important and you do not want to deal with substituting players into and out of the game. If you choose this option you can still make substitutions to the player display buttons if you have more than sixteen players on your roster. Playing time will not be accounted correctly if you choose this option because there is no way to determine which five players are actually in the game at any time.
• Always Stop Clock: When this switch is on the game clock will always stop when the generic turnover button is selected as the game event. When this switch is off the game clock does not automatically stop for generic turnover events.
• Show Description: Description bubbles which indicate the function of the data collection buttons are shown when this switch is turned on. After you become familiar with the data collection buttons it is easy to hide the description bubbles.
• Email Export Attachments: Choose the attachments that you want to include in your email export. Set an individual switch to on when you want to include the attachment in your email export. The following attachments are available for export.
• Box Score as an HTML file
• Box Score as a CSV file
• Home team MaxPreps data as a text file
• Visiting team MaxPreps data as a text file
• Play By Play list as an HTML file
• Play By Play list as a CSV file
• Shot Charts as a PDF file

The characteristics of the game style cannot be changed after game events have been recorded for the game. The other game information can be changed at any time. For example, the attendance may be set after the game while the other game information is typically set before the game begins.

There are several tables in the iPlayByPlay application where you must pick a game. For example, you must pick a game before collecting game events or before exporting game results. Whenever you are required to pick a game, the games will be sorted based on the game starting date and time. If you have given the game a name, that information is also shown but it is not used in the sorting.

Pick a game style

Tap the "+" button in the navigation bar to add a game style to the list.

Creating a game style

The Create Game Style view shows the game style templates which are available. Each template specifies game characteristics such as clock behavior and court style.

You will be able to modify any of the game style characteristics to meet your needs no matter which template you choose. The templates are only starting points for your desired game style and have predefined characteristics.

Tap one of the templates to begin. When you tap a template you will return to the Pick Game Style view.

Pick a game style to edit

The "high school men" template was chosen in the previous Create Game Style view.

Tap the disclosure button for this row to modify the game style so that it meets your requirements.

Edit game style - name and court style

By default the "Style name" is the name of the template which you chose. Tap the style name row to modify the style name to meet your requirements.

There are several court styles available from which to choose. The court markings and of course the 3-point arc are the distinguishing characteristics for each court style.

It is important to choose the court style which most closely approximates your needs because the court diagram is shown when you enter the court location for game events. Court information is also used to automatically adjust 2-point shot locations so that they are within the 3-point arc and to adjust 3-point shot locations so that they are outside the 3-point arc.

Edit game style - periods

The "high school men" template that was chosen when the style was created contains four regulation periods and an overtime period specifier.

The characteristics of each regulation period can be set independently of the other regulation periods.

The overtime specification applies to all potential overtime periods, but it can also be set independently from the regulation periods.

Tap the row for "Period 1" to edit the characteristics for the period.

Edit the period characteristics

The regulation and overtime periods have three clock values and a reset foul count which can be set for the game style. The values are set independently for overtime periods and for each regulation period.

• Duration: sets the duration of the period
• Continuous Clock: determines whether the game clock runs continuously for all or part of the period or whether it automatically stops for events such as violations and fouls
• Made Basket Clock: determines whether or not the game clock stops upon a made basket at some time during the period
• Reset Fouls: determines whether or not the foul count is reset at the beginning of the period

The game clock is flexible enough to be a continuous clock which might be used during youth basketball games or to be a clock which stops for violations and fouls.

Cease continuous clock at

The "Cease continuous clock at" characteristic determines whether or not the clock will stop automatically for select game events during the period.

• Set this clock value equal to the period duration when you want the game clock to stop for violations and fouls during the entire period. Effectively, the continuous clock stops when the period begins in this situation.
• Set this clock value to zero when you want to use a continuously running clock during the entire period. A continuously running clock will not stop for violations and fouls but may be manually stopped for timeouts.
• Set this clock value to anything between the period duration and zero to use a continuously running clock at the beginning of the period. The game clock will stop for violations and fouls at any time after the value that is set for this clock.

Start made basket clock at

The "Start made basket clock at" characteristic determines whether or not the game clock will stop automatically at some time during the period whenever a basket is made.

• Set this clock value to the earliest time during the period at which you want the game clock to stop after every made basket. For example, in the NBA game style template, this clock value is set to one minute for periods 1, 2 and 3 and is set to two minutes for the fourth period and overtime periods.

Reset fouls at start

The "Reset fouls at start" characteristic determines whether or not the foul counts are reset to zero at the beginning of the period.

• Set the switch to "On" to reset the foul counts to zero at the beginning of the period.
• Set the switch to "Off" to leave the foul counts at their current values.

For example, in typical high school games the foul counts are reset to zero at the beginning of the second half. Since high school games have four quarters, this switch is set to "On" for regulation periods 1 and 3. The switch is set to "Off" for regulation periods 2 and 4 and for overtime periods.

Make any changes to the period characteristics. When you are finished with the changes for this period, return to the Edit Game Style veiw where you can make any changes to the other game periods. When you are finished modifying other game periods, return to the Pick Game Style view.

• Track Second Player: turn on the switch to track a second player for the event. Second players are not available for all game events. The second player for a blocked shot event is the player whose shot was blocked.
• Hide Untracked Button: this switch is only enabled when you choose not to track the event. Turn this switch on to hide the event button on the data collection view and turn the switch off to just disable the event button on the data collection view. The event button on the data collection view will only hidden or disabled when you have chosen not to track the event.

Tap the "Save" button to save your changes and return to the Pick Events view or tap the "Pick Events" button to return to the Pick Events view without saving your changes.

Begin Game Data Collection

Tap the "Collect Stats" button to move to the Pick Game view where you will be able to choose the game for which you want to collect game data.

Pick a game for data collection

The Pick Game view allows you to pick the game for which you want to collect game events and statistics. Tap the row of the desired game to move to the data collection view for that game.

Data collection view

Game events are recorded from the data collection view. The collection view for the game enables you to increment the period as necessary and to start and stop the game clock. Once the clock is running, it may be stopped manually by tapping the pause button or timeout button, or the clock may be stopped automatically by specific game events depending upon how you have set up the clock to behave for your game style. The possession arrow direction can be set manually at any time and it is changed automatically after each held ball event.

The game clock, increment period, start clock, pause clock and possession arrow buttons do not require additional input. You will be prompted to enter player or team information after you tap the other game event buttons. Depending upon how you have customized the collection of the game event information in the application settings, you may also be prompted for information on a second player or court location.

Cancel Button

The cancel button in the navigation bar allows you to cancel an event in progress. Events may be cancelled at any time after the game event button is tapped and until the last bit of information is entered for the event. The cancel button is disabled but becomes enabled as soon as a game event button is tapped. After all information is entered for a game event, the cancel button again becomes disabled and the event may be deleted using the "Delete Last" button or through the edit option in the tab bar.

Second Player Information

Some events such as steals and fouls allow you to enter information about a second player involved in the event.

Steal: The first player involved in a steal is the player who has stolen the ball, while the second player involved in a steal is charged with a turnover and is the player from whom the ball was stolen. Setting up the steal event in application settings so that the event accepts a second player is a convenience for you since without the second player information a separate turnover event could be entered for the second player. The second player mechanism for a steal saves you a screen tap and also assigns the steal and turnover to occur at the same time on the game clock.

Foul: The first player involved in a foul event is the player who committed the foul, while the second player involved in a foul is the player who was fouled. There is no method to indicate a player was fouled other than the second player mechanism for fouls.

Turnover Events

Turnover events may be good or bad depending upon your perspective. If you are the player or team that forced the turnover, then trunovers are good and you are credited with a takeaway. If you are the player or team that was the victim of the turnover, then turnovers are bad and you are charged with a generic (unclassified) turnover or one of the specific turnover events such as traveling. As described below, a team is automatically credited with a takeaway for certain team turnover events such as a backcourt timeline violation. An individual player is only credited with a takeaway if the second player is tracked for a turnover event such as a closely guarded (5 second) violation. Takeaways are the positive side of forced turnovers.

Game Clock Time, Increment Period, Start and Pause Game Clock, Possession Arrow, Timeout and Held Ball

Tap to adjust the time on the game clock. The game clock time may also be adjusted by double-tapping the game clock time display. The game clock must be stopped before the time can be adjusted.

Tap the increment period button to begin a new period and to change the period display. You will not be able to return to a previous period. The time on the game clock will be set to the duration of the new period. The foul counts may be reset to zero, depending on the period and game style. For example, the NCAA game style will reset the foul counts at the beginning of the second half while the NBA game style will reset the foul counts at the beginning of each period, including overtime periods.

An "Increment period" notification will appear when you tap the button. You may turn off this notification in iPhone settings for iPlayByPlay. This notification prompts you to confirm that you meant to tap the increment period button because once you have moved to a new period you cannot delete events from or add events to a previous period.

The period may also be incremented by double-tapping the period display.

Start or pause the game clock as necessary. The game clock may stop automatically for select events depending on how you set the clock parameters for the game style. You may also use the pause button to stop the clock at any time. Use the start button to restart the clock.

The game clock may also be started or paused by tapping the game clock time display.

Poss

Tap the possession button to toggle the possession arrow between the home and visiting teams and to record a possession change event. You should change the possession arrow at the beginning of the game to point to the appropriate team. You may also change the possession arrow at any time, but the possession arrow will automatically toggle after a held ball (jump ball) event.

Tap the timeout button to record a timeout event. You will then be prompted to enter the team which called the timeout. Timeouts are generic and full or partial timeouts are not distinguished. Counts of expended or remaining timeouts for each team are not tracked.

Tap the held ball button to record a held ball event. The first player involved in the held ball situation is recorded as the aggressor who forced the jump ball situation, while the second player, if recorded, is the victim of the held ball situation. If the possession arrow is pointing to the team of the aggressor and the second player is recorded, then the victim is charged with a turnover and the aggressor is credited with a takeaway. If the possession arrow is pointing to the team of the held ball victim, then no turnover is recorded for the victim. The possession arrow is automatically changed to point to the opposite team after every held ball event.

Turnovers and violations

Tap the turnover button to record a turnover event and assign a generic (unclassified) turnover to a player. The game clock does not stop with a generic turnover event but it may be stopped manually if necessary. If you want the game clock to automatically stop for all gemeric (unclassified) turnovers, then you may change the switch for generic turnovers in iPhone settings. The location of the turnover may also be tracked if this functionality is turned on in the event setup.

Tap the traveling button to charge a player with a traveling turnover violation. The game clock automatically stops with traveling violations. The location of the traveling violation may also be tracked if this functionality is turned on in the event setup.

Tap the carrying button to charge a player with a carrying turnover violation. The game clock automatically stops with carrying violations. The location of the carrying violation may also be tracked if this functionality is turned on in the event setup.

Tap the double dribble button to charge a player with a double dribble turnover violation. The game clock automatically stops with double dribble violations. The location of the double dribble violation may also be tracked if this functionality is turned on in the event setup.

Tap the 3 second lane violation button to charge a player with a 3 second lane turnover violation. The game clock automatically stops with 3 second lane violations.

Tap the shot clock button to charge a team with a shot clock turnover violation. This violation is never charged to an individual player but is assigned to the team when either a team button or an individual player button is tapped.
