A doHOOPS TIP:

If you get to the game late:
  Instead of keeping all the stats manually, you can adjust doHOOPS' game clock and scoreboard so that you can begin recording stats normally, then go in after the game to add the stats you missed earlier. (Of course, if you...

GAME-TIME TIPS:

   Spotters -- As with all stats entry, it's always wise to have a spotter, especially if you want to keep detailed stats for the players on your opponent's team as well as for your own team's players.

   Location -- Sit on the same side of the court as the benches, near the scorer's table if possible (so that the doHOOPS court display will match the live court display most closely).

System requirements for doHOOPS (all versions) and doUPLOAD
(If you're not in the United States, please click here for additional information.)

    Operating system requirements and hardware requirements
  • Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT.
  • Windows Vista users -- doHOOPS runs well on Vista, but hasn't yet been specifically optimized for it. A Vista-specific version will be released as soon as possible. If you'd like more information about any known Vista issues, please contact us.
  • Windows 98 and Windows ME users -- while doHOOPS will install and run on these operating systems, we recommend Windows XP for the best performance.
  • Pentium 3 class upwards (the more processing power, the better).
  • Minimum 128 MB RAM (the more RAM, the better).
  • 90 MB available hard drive space (less if you don't install Speech Recognition features).
  • Have a CD or DVD writable drive (or other storage device capability) to back up your doHOOPS database. This is especially important when you move to a new computer.
  • Use a touchscreen or a mouse with your laptop, if possible. (Track-pads or other laptop pointing devices are fine, too, if you're comfortable using them at the fast pace of a basketball game.)
  • If you're using doHOOPS on a laptop or other PC that runs on batteries, please use long-lasting batteries and/or have a spare battery available.
    Requirements for Speech Recognition features
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer® 5.5 (or a later version) must be installed on your computer.(Check Micosoft's website to learn about downloading Internet Explorer, if needed.)
  • Most sound cards and sound devices are supported; please test the Speech Recognition features during your trial period to be sure that your particular system is compatible with the doHOOPS speech features.
  • Laptops have more internal noise than desktop computers (the amount can vary from brand to brand and model to model. Since the amount of internal noise produced by a laptop can slow down speech recognition slightly, we suggest you thoroughly test-drive doHOOPS with the laptop you plan to use.
  • A high-quality HEADSET microphone with noise filters is ESSENTIAL. We recommend a Speech Recognition Certified microphone. (A privacy shield may also be helpful, if available.) You can use a lower-quality microphone for initial testing--but it won't be able to give you predictable results in the noisy environment of a basketball game.
  • Don't run any other software using Speech Recognition while you're running doHOOPS.
