GameCast program.
In order to show season stats, users must first
export a season-to-date file. Users may choose to
show only the stats for the home team, only the
guest team, or both teams. To export season stats:
1. Open DakStats Football.
2. Go to File > Export Season to Date.
3. Select a Season.
4. Under Select File Output Format, select NCAA XML.
5. Select the Home team.
6. If necessary, click Change Directory to navigate to different folder in which to save
the season file.
7. Click Export.
Note: If the following error appears: “Export Failed! [Team Name] needs to have a valid
Team Code”, go to Configure > Teams and click Look Up ID/Code to locate the
appropriate code or use Team Code “99999” for non-league teams.
