You will be able to start and end each drill, in which stats will be tracked during those times. You can choose whether to run a SHOOTING DRILL or a SCRIMMAGE for each drill. A shooting drill will track all shots taken and from where on the court (including all side hoops at your facility). A scrimmage will track all shots.

• Status - LIVE, DEAD BALL or FOUL MODE - you can change the status to DEAD BALL so stats won’t be tracked during that time.

When you are in DEAD BALL mode, you will see a red bar at the top and sides of the screen to denote that no stats are being tracked. If you are in FOUL mode, you will see a yellow bar at the top and sides of the screen to denote that all shots will be counted as free throws and no additional stats will be tracked during that mode.

You will need to stop practice at a convenient time, assign that player a new player tag (Settings -> Sensor Management), and then restart practice. You will also need to confirm if the player tag had a dead battery and needed to be charged, or if it is defective. If it’s defective, please alert ShotTracker Support immediately.
