1  Stats are tracked but not viewable without TurboStats PC Software
2  A copy of ScoreKeeper is required to use this feature
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 its 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 17 stats are viewable on the PDA.  Shot charts for players by game and cumulative are viewable on the PDA.  You can also view team totals on the PDA.  Without TurboStats on the PC you can hotsync and print individual game summaries and play by play reports but not seasonal stat reports.  TurboStats on the PC is designed for advanced statistic reporting of up to 100 stats per player and imports player "in game" combination reports from ScoreKeeper game data.  TurboStats also prints Shot 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.  
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.

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.  Centro, Treo 755p, 650p, 700p, Tungsten C, E2, TX,  and Zire 72 are great choices.
  • Also Supports
  • Palm Pilot IIIe, IIIc, V, Vx, M100, Handspring Visor, Treo 600 or 650, IBM Workpad or Sony Clie or  any other pda running the 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.
     
  • We do not support Pocket PC, IPAQ, HP Jordana or any other CE handheld however it will run on these devices if you use Style Tap software (see below).  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 2.2 has been tested for years on the Palm and is 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. If you are looking at running just ScoreKeeper on the PDA then the style tap solution could work fine.  If you want to hotync back to the PC and import stats and shot charts then you need to have a copy of the Palm Desktop software running on that machine so we don't recommend using a non Palm PDA by itself.
