5.2 Play-by-Play Mode
The DakStats Football program allows users to enter plays as they happen. Operators are able
to input stats by selecting game commands and then entering specific information when
prompted; prompts will default to the most common choice. The Play-by-play screen is
available to users throughout the game, and remains available when the game is finished.
Figure 11 shows the main application screen in Play-by-play mode, with each section of the
screen labeled by function:
 Game In Progress: Shows the current game time, down, to go, ball on, quarter, total
yards, number of plays, and T.O.P. This also shows if the Webcast is currently running.
 Line Score: Tracks the score for both teams in every quarter.
 Data Entry: This is where the action of a play is recorded.
 Rosters & Statistics: Shows each player of both teams and their statistics for the
game. It is not possible to edit the stats in this area.
 Play-by-play & Editing: As stats are entered, a detailed commentary of each play
will appear here. It is possible to modify any previous play as needed, and the rest of
the game data will update accordingly.
 Drives Summary/Team Stats: Shows a detailed drive summary for each time in each
quarter and/or detailed team stat comparisons for the game.
 Beneath the Game In Progress Information section is an illustration of a football field.
This is where the position of the ball is entered for each play.
