The minimum system requirements are: CD-ROM drive for software installation MS Windows version XP or Vista Minimum 6 MB disk space available Windows compatible printer Software installation To install the full Windows and DOS software package: 1. Insert the CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. 2. When prompted select, “Run setup.exe”. (see first screen below). 3. This will bring you to the STAT CREW software menu. “The STAT CREW System for Basketball” should be blue and you should be able to click on it. 4. When you click on it, it will prompt you for the serial number. Enter the code from the back of the CD case. It is a ten digit num ber that begins with BB-. (see second screen below). After installation After installing STATCREW, you should start the program and select default program options. Take special care to insure you have the appropriate moni- tor and printer types selected. You should also install the Stat Crew Control Panel (refer to Chapter 3 for instructions). The Windows installation creates a “STATCREW” program folder, and adds an icon to the folder to launch the STATCREW program menu. You can use the ALT+ENTER keyboard command to change the DOS display window from full- screen to a window on the desktop, and vice versa. 10 Sample game files When you install STATCREW, a set of sample game files are copied onto your disk so you can easily generate some game and team reports before learning how to use the play-by-play scoring features. The software is initially in- stalled to point to the directory containing this set of sample game files. You might want to score additional plays at the end of this game, score a game from an old play-by-play, from a live practice/exhibition, or score a game from the TV to help you get a feel for how the play-by-play software works.

  • Measuring Production and Predicting Outcomes in the National Basketball Association
    Measuring Production and Predicting Outcomes in the National Basketball Association Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Michael Steven Milano, M.S. Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Packianathan Chelladurai, Advisor Brian Turner Sarah Fields Stephen Cosslett Copyright by Michael Steven Milano 2011 Abstract Building on the research of Loeffelholz, Bednar and Bauer (2009), the current study analyzed the relationship between previously compiled team performance measures and the outcome of an “un-played” game. While past studies have relied solely on statistics traditionally found in a box score, this study included scheduling fatigue and team depth. Multiple models were constructed in which the performance statistics of the competing teams were operationalized in different ways. Absolute models consisted of performance measures as unmodified traditional box score statistics. Relative models defined performance measures as a series of ratios, which compared a team‟s statistics to its opponents‟ statistics. Possession models included possessions as an indicator of pace, and offensive rating and defensive rating as composite measures of efficiency. Play models were composed of offensive plays and defensive plays as measures of pace, and offensive points-per-play and defensive points-per-play as indicators of efficiency. Under each of the above general models, additional models were created to include streak variables, which averaged performance measures only over the previous five games, as well as logarithmic variables. Game outcomes were operationalized and analyzed in two distinct manners - score differential and game winner.

Semir Tatlidil, and Fernand Gobet University of Liverpool As a result of considerable potential scientific and societal implications, the possibility of enhancing cognitive ability by training has been one of the most influential topics of cognitive psychology in the last two decades. However, substantial research into the psychology of expertise and a recent series of meta-analytic reviews have suggested that various types of cognitive training (e.g., working memory training) benefit performance only in the trained tasks. The lack of skill generalization from one domain to different ones—that is, far transfer—has been documented in various fields of research such as working memory training, music, brain training, and chess. Video game training is another activity that has been claimed by many researchers to foster a broad range of cognitive abilities such as visual processing, attention, spatial ability, and cognitive control. We tested these claims with three random- effects meta-analytic models.

  • Minor League Rule Variations
    NYBSA Major League Baseball Rules Updated Jan 2014 The official rules of Dixie Youth Baseball shall apply except as altered by the following exceptions and/or additions. NYBSA chooses to take advantage of the local option clause relating to playing rules. The following General Playing Rules may also apply to the other baseball leagues. GENERAL PLAYING RULES: I. Start Time: Games will start on time. Time limits are specified for each league. The official start time of the first game of the day will be the scheduled start time. It is up to the teams to be ready to play at this time. There will be a 15-minute grace allowed, if enough players have not arrived to meet the minimum requirements to field a team. An additional exception to this rule would be that the umpires are not ready to begin. For the second and subsequent games, the umpire shall declare the start time of the next game to be ten minutes from the time players have cleared the field from the previous game. It is up to the teams to be ready to play at this time. II. Expiration of time limit: No inning will be started after 1 hour 25 minutes (85 minutes) has been reached. A new inning is considered started at the moment the last out is made in the preceding inning. A new inning is also considered started at the moment the fifth run is scored in the bottom of the preceding inning. III. Less Than Nine Players: If a team fails to field nine players at game time, they may play with eight players.

  • Framing the Game Through a Sabermetric Lens: Major League
    FRAMING THE GAME THROUGH A SABERMETRIC LENS: MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL BROADCASTS AND THE DELINEATION OF TRADITIONAL AND NEW FACT METRICS by ZACHARY WILLIAM ARTH ANDREW C. BILLINGS, COMMITTEE CHAIR DARRIN J. GRIFFIN SCOTT PARROTT JAMES D. LEEPER KENON A. BROWN A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the College of Communication and Information Sciences in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2019 Copyright Zachary William Arth 2019 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED i ABSTRACT This purpose of this dissertation was to first understand how Major League Baseball teams are portraying and discussing statistics within their local broadcasts. From there, the goal was to ascertain how teams differed in their portrayals, with the specific dichotomy of interest being between teams heavy in advanced statistics and those heavy in traditional statistics. With advanced baseball statistics still far from being universally accepted among baseball fans, the driving question was whether or not fans that faced greater exposure to advanced statistics would also be more knowledgeable and accepting of them. Thus, based on the results of the content analysis, fans of four of the most advanced teams and four of the most traditional teams were accessed through MLB team subreddits and surveyed. Results initially indicated that there was no difference between fans of teams with advanced versus traditional broadcasts. However, there were clear differences in knowledge based on other factors, such as whether fans had a new school or old school orientation, whether they were high in Schwabism and/or mavenism, and how highly identified they were with the team.
