Generating consistent statistics and consistent stat reporting are essential duties of each athletic communications department. To ensure that we start the athletic year off with consistent and accurate football statistics being generated by our members, we are offering this webinar to familiarize CSC members with a review of new college football rules, using proper football scoring techniques to register accurate statistics. This is a webinar for all divisional levels and levels of football stat expertise. The presenters will welcome your questions throughout the webinar.
Please note: This is NOT a training session on "how-to" work with Genius/NCAA Live Stats or Presto stats; rather, you will gain a basic understanding of the rules of the games and an understanding on how to score plays.
Join these presenters for an open discussion and Q&A:
