6 Initial Setup

Visitor Season Files
To show season stats for visiting teams, the opposing team must perform steps 1-7 above and
provide the XML file to the home team. This file may be emailed beforehand, burned to a CD,
or saved to a USB drive. The visitor season file may be loaded into the GameCast program
just like home team stats (see steps 8-11 above).
Note: If both the home and visiting teams have a Non-Member School Code (99999), it is
possible that the season files will have the same file name. If this is the case, rename the
visitor season file or save it in a different directory to avoid overwriting the home file.
Instead of reading the game live over the network connection as described in Section 3.1,
users may open a game file. To create a game file that constantly updates during the game:
1. Go to Webcast > Configure.
2. Click on the GameCast tab,
and then click Enable
GameCast.
3. Select File (Figure 3).
4. Click the […] button to
navigate to the folder where
the file will be saved.
5. Enter a generic game file
name, and then click Open.
6. Click Apply, and then OK.
7. Go to Webcast > Start to
begin outputting the XML
game file.
8. Open DakStats Football
GameCast.
9. Click Configure.
10. Click File and then click the […] button
to locate the XML game file (Figure 4).
11. Click OK to open the game.
As new information is entered into DakStats
and the file changes, it will update within
the GameCast program every 10-15 seconds.
