| Q: |
What
is the difference between TurboStats Complete . ProSeries and ScoreKeeper? |
| A: |
The main difference is the ProSeries version can break
down a batters stats vs right or left pitching, pitchers stats by right or
left batting and fielding stats by individual positions. Most
ScoreKeeper users get the ProSeries version because ScoreKeeper
automatically does the right vs left and fielding breakdowns
automatically. You also get a practice planner in the Pro
version. The main difference between ScoreKeeper Standard and Pro is
that Pro provides pitch charting. Keep in mind that ScoreKeeper
Standard is a full featured scoring product and not a stripped down
product like our competitors basic edition. Here is the full comparison chart.

|
| Q: |
Will
ScoreKeeper work without a copy of TurboStats |
| A: |
ScoreKeeper is a live game scoring program designed to take advantage of
the convenience of the Palm PDA platform for it's size, battery life,
instant on and touch screen interface. You can store unlimited games
on the PDA (only limited by memory) and view basic stats right on the PDA
screen for individual games and ALL games. Due to the limited screen
size only 11 batting stats and 12 pitching stats are viewable on the
PDA. Without TurboStats on the PC you can hotsync and print
individual game scorebook pages and play by play reports but not seasonal
stat reports. TurboStats on the PC is designed for advanced
statistic reporting of up to 300 stats per player with Righty vs Lefty
breakdowns (Pro Version). TurboStats also prints Spray Chart
diagrams and allows reports to be created for conference, non conference,
tournament and other game types. If you are a fan, parent or youth
coach who does not require printed reports or does not need to analyze
performance data, you can use ScoreKeeper standalone with good
results. TurboStats can be added in the future if you needs
change. To see all the other features in TurboStats click here: TurboStats
Features. Use the back button on your browser to come back to

|
| Q: |
Will
ScoreKeeper work on a Laptop? |
| A: |
No and Yes. No because there is nothing we can sell you to make it
work. Yes because Palm offers developers an emulator program that
can popup a Palm session on your PC or Laptop. We don't support this
functionality but if you visit Palm's developer site you can get a copy of
the emulator from them. visit the Palm
Developer Site. Please don't call our support site on this
issue. If you use the emulator you are on your own. It does work
well but you won't be able to hotsync and must know how to manually move
games from the emulator to your palm user backup directories. And by
the way, you must have a palm to do this because you need the palm
desktop software loaded on your PC regardless. |
|
|
| Q: |
How
do ScoreKeeper and TurboScore for laptops compare? |
| A: |
Well maybe the best question is how does scoring on a laptop compare
with scoring on a Palm PDA. In our opinion, there is no comparison.
The PDA is much easier. The PDA is better in the sunlight, batteries
last about 10 times as long, touch screen is fantastic and its much easier
to sit there with a Palm in your hand than a Laptop on your lap
(especially in the rain). There are some users who have scoring
booths with power available. For these situations we still recommend
ScoreKeeper because it's easier to use and tracks up to 300 stats.
TurboScore is a nice program that looks like a scorebook page on your
laptop and is easy to use. However it will only export about 50
stats into TurboStats and won't support righty vs lefty stats or fielding
by individual positions. If you want TurboScore for your laptop, we
suggest you get TurboStats Complete to go with it. For more
information about TurboScore, visit this page. TurboScore

Besides
the Palm Tungsten E2, what other PDA's will run ScoreKeeper? |
| A: |
ScoreKeeper is designed to run on any Palm OS PDA. If you will be
using it outside, get a high resolution color screen or monochrome.
Low resolution screens like the Z22 are hard to see in the sunlight.
Treo650p, 700p,750p,755p, Tungsten C, E2, TX and Zire 72 are great choices.
- Any Palm Pilot, Handspring Visor, Treo 600 or 650,
IBM Workpad or Sony Clie with any Palm Operating System 3.0 or
higher and least 250k available memory.
- ScoreKeeper App requires 200K free space. Each
game requires approx 8-12K (based on number of events).
example: A 2 MB Palm can hold about 200 concurrent games. Games
can be removed after Hot Sync for Unlimited Capacity. The
Tungsten E2 has 32 MB.
- DOES not work on Pocket PC, IPAQ, HP Jordana or
any other CE handheld. Only on Palm OS Operating Systems.
Works on all model Palm Pilots, Handsprings and Sony Handhelds.
Does not support the Treo 700.

|
| Q: |
Are there plans to support Windows Mobile PDA's or
Pocket PC? |
| A: |
Yes, however we have no release data and don't expect anything to be
available real soon. ScoreKeeper 6 & 7 have been tested for
years on the Palm and are highly reliable. Right now the Palm is the way
to go. You can use both the Palm and Pocket PC on the same PC.
Although we don't support it, ScoreKeeper will run on a Windows PDA with
optional StyleTap Software
running. Visit StyleTap.com
for more information. |

|
| Q: |
How does TurboStats and ScoreKeeper compare with
competitive systems? |
| A: |
TurboStats is the original and oldest company on the market
providing baseball PDA scorekeeper software. As competitors come and
go in the market, TurboStats has been in business for over 14 years
supporting our customers. As far as features go, TurboStats is the
market leader. The following is a list of features you should
consider before purchasing any competitive software.
- Full featured products, not stripped down limited "BASIC"
versions like some of our competitors
- Reliability. If it crashes it's worthless. TurboStats
products are highly reliable and used by thousands and thousands of
schools. That's one of top reasons users tell us when they
trade in a competitors product for TurboStats
- Selected by Palm Inc. see story
- Keep all games on the PDA till you delete them. Some products
only keep one game on your PDA and you can't use the previous game
data for scouting or stats. ScoreKeeper stores unlimited
games and displays spray and pitch chart data on screen during the
game when you need it.
- 300 plus stats. No other PDA products track as much.
- Ease of Use, Ease of Use, Ease of Use...just ask our users. Quotes
- No Support Contract Required ( other companies charge $50 annually
for support)
- Updates and new features added frequently. No other company
has released more version updates for statistics tracking than
TurboStats.
- Pitch Charting

right, center and left field and call that spray charting)
- Spray chart data viewable during the game (and for all games that
player played in)
- Pitch chart data viewable during the game (and for all games that
player played in)
- Guaranteed to work as advertised.
