After you have scored a game using ScoreKeeper, simply Sync and then start TurboStats. You must create a TurboStats team file for each team you want to import. If you have already created your TurboStats team file then open that team file first.

If you created your team in Scorekeeper or you are importing an Opposing team that you created in Scorekeeper then create a new team file in TurboStats. Fill in the team information and add at least one player. The remaining players can be created on the fly while the game is being imported. If you wish to enter the entire roster first you may. If a player’s name does not match up with the name created in Scorekeeper you will be prompted to select the matching TurboStats player.

Once you have your team file open enter the TurboStats Game Form by clicking on the GAME button in the bottom righthand corner. Next use the menu Games > Import Game > from ScoreKeeper PalmPilot. steps 1 & 2

TurboStats will maintain a complete list of all games played and track their import status. The following form appears allowing you to choose the team and game you wish to import. If the team name used in Scorekeeper matches the team name in TurboStats then that team will be automatically selected in the Team list. If the Team name in Scorekeeper is part of the team name in TurboStats then it will also be automatically selected. If TurboStats cannot find a matching Scorekeeper team name then you must selected the team name from the pull down list. step 3 Once the team is selected you will see a list of all games for which that team has played. For every game tracked in Scorekeeper there will be two game entries added; one for the home team and one for the visitor. This way you can easily import data for both teams. Select the Game to import from the list. step 4 After you import a game the status of the game is marked as imported and will not show up on the list again so you can't import it a second time by mistake.  If you want to see this game again click (*) Imported. .  If you want to print/ post online a box score now press either the [Text Box Score] or [Web Box Score] buttons. 

Then press [ Import Game ] to load the game data, with righty vs lefty breakdowns for batting and pitching and individual fielding by positions stats along with spray chart.  step 5

After the game is completely imported you can make any modifications you wish and then you must press the Save Game button to compile all the scores and team totals.

Reset:  If you want to change the import status of all games you can press RESET.  If you already imported a game you can move it to the Imported Games list by pressing Change Status.

Question: I entered 2 games in Scorekeeper that I do not want to import to Turbostats. I do not want them to show up in the "Select Game to Import" option on the "Importing Game Data" screen. How do I get rid of the unwanted games? Answer.  Highlight them in the game list and click Change Status.

 Player Names Don’t Match Up

TurboStats can automatically create new players during the import from Scorekeeper that are not on your current TurboStats team. If the player’s name does not match the TurboStats player’s name identically you will be prompted to either

1. Select the correct player from a list of remaining players
2. Create a new player
3. Skip the player

Note: If you see Uniform Numbers in the list the player's names will not match. You need to turn off the display of uniform number using the Utilities > Uniform Number menu option in the game form.

In the following example player Don was entered in Scorekeeper and since a player with a matching name of Don was not found in TurboStats the following pick list appears. You can select Don Trifari from the TurboStats player list or click New. You will then be prompted to enter a new player name and the player will be automatically added to your TurboStats team roster.

Question: After importing my game it appears that some stats are not correct? Answer: The importing of game data is 100% equal to what you entered on your Palm.  Print a ScoreSheet and verify what the data looks like in ScoreKeeper.

Question: A pitcher entered a game at the top of an inning. He faced 3 batters. He walked one and gave up two singles. He left the game with the bases loaded and nobody out. All his runners scored and were charged to him.   What should his ERA be?  Answer:  It's actually infinity.  But don't worry because the next game he pitches or whenever he gets an inning pitched the runs he gave up will factor in.
