8. Place the mouse over the Stat Name Total Match Points and click the right mouse button, selecting
Change Calculated Stats from the menu.
9. When prompted to turn auto-calculation on select Yes
10. You will need to repeat steps 4 to 9 for every competition for which you would like to enable the autocalculation
function.
The above steps will ensure that the points for all Tries and Goals entered from now on will have their points
auto-calculated in the Total Match Points field, however the stats you have entered previously still need to be
calculated.
In order to calculate these stats, complete the following steps:
1. Email support@sportingpulse.com and request a Specstrap file for resolving “Total Match Points not Auto-
Calculating”.
2. After you have received the Specstrap file, backup your database (if you are on a network you will need to
do this on the Server Computer). For information on how to back up your database see the Data Manager
User Guide.

3. Save the Specstrap file to the same location where data is stored on your computer (if you are on a
network you will need to save this file to C:\Program Files\Sportzware\Central on your server computer).
The location of your data can be found by selecting the data location you wish to apply the Specstrap to
and viewing the Data Location text at the bottom of the Data Manager.
4. Go to the Data Manager and select the location for which you wish to apply the Specstrap to and then click
on the Launch button.
