19. he heart of basketball country Using Swoosh over the past few years at more basketball games than we can count we have learned a few things that we would like to share with you First we want to stress the structure of Swoosh teams make up games and games make up seasons You cannot create a season unless you have a game You cannot create a game unless you have some teams If you remember this structure you have a great start 5 1 MANAGING FILES TEAM GAME amp SEASON To start make a folder either on the Desktop or in the Documents folder that will be used to keep all your Swoosh Files You may even want to make separate folders within your Swoosh folder you created to keep separate the files for each season For example your file system might look something like My Documents e Swoosh o 2009 2010 all files for 2009 2010 season o 2010 2011 all files for 2009 2010 season o 2011 2012 future home for the upcoming season s files Remember that when you save team game or season files the files will be saved with whatever name you give them in wherever you choose to save them The only thing Swoosh does to help you out is give them a file extension such as team game or The naming and saving organization is up to you One thing that works well for us is that when teams are created they are named with very descriptive names For example you would not want to just name a team The P

21. many statistics need to be recorded and the Swoosh user s eyes must look away from the court to the computer screen We suggest that the spotter call the game saying the jersey color player number and then the stat For example if the blue team 25 Jones shoots the ball and misses from the right baseline then 15 Myers from the white team rebounds the ball the dialogue would sound something like this Blue 25 miss2 right baseline White 15 offensive rebound 5 4 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Windows XP Vista or 7 Version 2 or newer of the Microsoft NET Framework the best way to determine if your computer is up to date on this is to check update microsoft com and be sure your computer has been updated recently CONTACT US Email Swoosh DelMarIT com We re sort of email addicts This is probably the quickest way to get an answer to your question If we don t respond within a few hours your email probably got sucked up in a spam filter Try giving us a call Phone 765 577 5757 Give us aring If we don t answer leave a message and we ll call you when we get back from the game Mail DelMar IT LLC 1281 Win Hentschel Blvd West Lafayette IN 47906 We haven t changed since we were kids We still get excited when there s a letter for us in the mailbox
