Game DataGame Data Live is all about the data. This page gets you started on how its organized, how you enter it and how you can put it to work.
Teams
Game Data Live users will define Teams. A roster of players on a team is optional. Players can be identified as quarterback or ball carrier in case you want to view quarterback or ball carrier stats. Having a roster of players enables the selection of players from a list during game data entry. Picking players from a list helps eliminate keyboarding while you enter game data.
Games and Seasons
Game Data Live users will also create Seasons. Within each Season they can create many Games. Each Game has a Scout Team and an Opponent. Scout Teams and Opponents come from the list of Teams. The graphic below shows how you create a game with a scout team and an opponent team.
