1. It isn t necessary to have team rosters see pg 2 amp 7 as the stats will still accumulate for each team Ifa roster is entered after the bout has already started it obviously won t have any stats for the skaters but will accumulate stats from that point on Stats TEAM JAMS LEAD POINTS PTS Z JAM P1JAM1 7 o 7 2 54 1 3 54 4 4 We re going to take a closer look at the Stat Window items and go over what they mean The Team Stat area starts with the color coded team names To the right is the JAMS stat This number should always equal the number of jams that have run in the bout including the current jam The next column is the number of times that team has had lead jammer status The two team LEAD columns probably won t add up to the total jams since sometimes there are jams without a lead jammer The POINTS column will update live as the score is changed so it will always mimic the control panel but might not be the same as the scoreboard display The PTS JAM column keeps track of the team s average number of points per jam It is updated the moment the jam ends This means that although the POINTS will update all the time like at the end of the jam while the lineup clock is running the PTS JAM will not After that we see the scrolling columns for each jam They have a h2. o gt This event stops a gif animation on the image currently in the field If no gif is currently playing this has no effect The second attribute to change is Wait Until End This is controlled by a dropdown choice When set to True it will allow the animation to run all the way to the last frame of the gif When set to false it will immediately stop at the current frame Media Type e This event changes the media file on the player in the field This doesn t mean it will be visible though unless triggered to play This event will start the player assuming there is a media file to play The second column controls the time in seconds the media file will fade in to full opacity and volume The second value to change is the maximum volume by percentage After that the user can select True if the player is meant to be displayed like a video or False if meant to be invisible like an audio only file or a file that you only want the audio from The final choice is to loop the file continuously from the beginning as soon as it reaches the end Media Stop This event will stop the player The first value to change is Type Fade Out Wait Until End gt ET Fase the time in seconds it takes to fade the media file out audio amp video The next choice will wait to stop the player until the end of the media file if True is chosen If False is chosen the player will stop

True or False in it If set to True the field will appear in front of any overlapping fields when it fades in If False it will remain in it s current order The last cell has the time to delay until the field will automatically fade out again If it s set to 0 00 the field will NOT automatically fade out If it s set to any other value it will wait for that many seconds and then fade out based on the time entered in the Time cell So in the example on the right the field will take 3 5 seconds to fade in It will appear in front of all other fields lt 2 e Once it s completely faded in it will wait for 1 second then _ it will take 3 5 seconds to fade out again Fade Out 0 6 The Fade Out event is pretty much just like the Fade In event except in reverse The only editable value is the time This is the amount of time in seconds it will take to bring the field to 0 opacity Motion EN o The Motion event moves the field around the scoreboard Basically it changes the location of the field The first cell is the time Just like with Fade In Fade Out this is the amount of time in seconds it will take for the field to travel from it s current position to the desired end location The End Location cell is where the field will end up after the time has elapsed The format is X Y coordinates X is the horizontal coordinate and Y is the vertical So the default
