The early versions of statistics software were primarily "data organizers". Their main function was to categorize and organize data and print reports. They also performed year-to-date calculations and often provided Team and League/Non-League/Combined Statistical reports. For the most part, the programs did their "work" after much work had already been done.

With so many statistics software products on the market today, its fairly easy to find a statistics "data organizer". What sets some products apart, however, is their ability to simplify the process of collecting data and print Real Time, or "Play-by-Play" Statistics (as well as Post-Game statistics).

In addition, some statistics products make it easy to add your own categories and set up your own calculations. Finally, some programs work with handheld computers to simplify the data entry process and make real-time data entry not only possible but practical.

Our line of Statistics products is provided by a manufacturer that is committed to the scoring and stats category and in particularly "PDA-enabling" their products and whose upgrade and support policies are hard to beat! Their Football Scorebook and Football Statsbook products work together and with a PDA Module ( software for both Palm OS and Pocket PC PDA's) to provide a modern, comprehensive, yet inexpensive solution for collecting and managing Football Statistics.
