Web-Sync Tournaments 25
Section 7: Web-Sync Tournaments
The DakStats program includes a tournament feature to make it easy for Web-Sync users to compile
tournament results and statistical leaders. The site includes team and individual stat leaders,
tournament results, and Webcasts. It also allows the tournament host to report stats directly to the
Web-Sync site so the results will be included with season stats for each team.
Cumulative tournament statistics on the tournament pages update every time a user Web-Syncs,
instead of during the nightly process that regular Web-Syncing goes through. This ensures
tournament statistics are the most up-to-date.
