PM

What does the PM stand for under the total game stats

[FTMSupport]

It is +/-. It is the difference between the points scored by a player's own team while he is on the court, and the points scored by the other team while the player is on the court. So if the player's team scores 25 points while he is in the game, and the opponent scores 20 points while the player is in the game, the PM would be +5. If it was reversed, the PM would be -5.

Why isnt this stat available in the pdf or excel output?

We will add having it on the PDF and Excel output to our enhancement list. Thank you.

I think that the sum of all the p/m of the player should be in the end of the game differenceX5 but it's not what i got.
can someone explain it to me please?

[OhioTex]

only 5x if only 5 players played..

[dettun]

No, it should be x5 also if 12 players played

I assume your player minutes are in excess of 5x? Managing an accurate clock was my biggest challenge in scoring such that I did not put tremendous stock in totally accurate player minutes. I needed to adjust the clock to keep the scoring in the correct quarters which extended the game length, hence the 5x+ pm.

I think danmcc has it confused with minutes played.

PM is the +/- for a given player, and yes, for an accurately scored game, the sum of all the players for a team for a given game would be the difference in the final scores x 5 assuming you have a 5 player team. Here are the cases that could cause that to not be correct:

1. Manual adjustments to scoreboard. If at any time you manually adjust the scoreboard during the game, it could cause the PM to not calculate out that way.

2. Manual adjustments to player stats. If you go to the manual override tab and start assigning or removing points from a player, it could cause the PM to be off.

3. If at any point in the game you do not have 5 players on the court. For example, you press the Sub button, press clear, and only select 4 of the 5 players because you don't see the 5th. A few baskets are made, and you then add the 5th player when you see him.

Correct, I was thinking player minutes.
