4. Go through, play around with the software and get comfortable with how everything works!
Please note:
SUBS:
In the current version of the software, you cannot re-sub in a player who had been previously removed (FIFA rules, basically). This will be changed to allow for unlimited subs in the next software release, scheduled for mid July.
POSSESSION TIME and FIELD LOCATION:
One of the new features of NCAA LiveStats for Soccer is the ability to track possession time and field location percentage.
Once the game starts, you will see four zones set up on the field. Throughout the game, do your best to indicate which team has the ball, and which zone they are in. The more accurate you are with your clicking, the better your stats will be.
When ball possession changes, you can either click the appropriate Possession button, or use the TAB key to toggle between the teams.
With regards to ball possession - assume that the team currently with possession retains possession until the other team clearly has control of the ball.
