Script Summary: added some custom filtering over the original script, took out coverage identification
if the start scouting button doesnt appear after using this script
it means you have too many saved games. uninstall the script with the checkbox clicked for 'Also uninstall associated preferences', then reinstall.to prevent it in the future, click the 'edit scouting scenarios' tab on the replay page then click the button for 'clear saved data'. underneath the button is a count of how many games you have saved. i know under 40 is fine. feel free to go higher, but if the script stops working, you'll need to uninstall and reinstall
Scenarios
there's 2 new tables for breaking down the offensive formations and run/pass calls depending on game situations. for the purposes of this script, the game situations = scenarios. the script comes with a few default scenarios but you can change/remove those or add your own depending on what you want to scout. there's a table for each team, the rows are the scenarios, the columns are the formations called by the offense, the cells in the table are the totals of runs and passes called from that column's formation and in that row's situation
the link to editing your scenarios is at the top in a gray box (right after the 'Matchup' link)
so for example, if you wanted to have a row that only included plays called on 1st down when there's 2 mins left in the 4th quarter
-click the 'create a new scenario' button
-type in a name, this will be the label in the first column on the table
-when you hit ok, there will be a new scenario added to the list. now you need to define what this scenario is using to filter the replays
-select the circle next to your new scenario, you'll see a new table with 'Add filters to : your scenario name'
-now you're adding filters to the scenario. for a play to match the scenario, all of filters that you add to the scenario will need to be true for the play. in the first drop down box, you can see the types of filters available to use
-so for our example, we need a filter on the quarter, the time left in the quarter, and the down
-so, select 'Down', then 'equals', then enter a 1 in the text box. then click the 'add filter' button
-then select 'Quarter', then 'equals', then enter a 4 in the text box. then click the 'add filter' button
-then select 'Time left in the quarter', then 'less than or equals', then enter 120 in the text box(since it's in seconds). then click the 'add filter' button
-now, click on the play by play tab and scroll down to the offensive tables, and you should see a new row on the table for the scenario you created. the totals are the runs and passes in each formation in that scenario
if you mess up on a scenario, you can delete it and remake it.
Known Issues:
- plays that have a turnover wont be counted in the offensive breakdown
- disable the firefox addon adblock plus if the 'start scouting' button isnt showing up on the play by play page
Updates
4/10/2010 - play description for screen passes changed, fixed it so screen passes will be included on the pass play totals10/9 - added 4-4
8/27 - added a counter under the 'Clear Saved Data' button to show how many games are currently saved. hopefully this will give a better idea of how many games it takes to crash the script.
8/4 - fix so it doesnt hang on timeout replays in season 11
7/22 - some rows were not being displayed in the offensive table links list. specifically the rows that started a half or possession, or a turnover. fixed now.
- there are some issues with the saved data growing too large after a full season of scouting games. there is now a button to clear out saved games. it's at the top of the 'Edit Scouting Scenarios' page
7/6 - another fix to the move up/down/delete buttons for constraints in FF 3.5
- added a new filter, to filter if a given player id is on the field
- when using this filter, enter the player id(not the name) of the player you want to see. that scenario will only include plays when that player was on the field
7/1 - fix to work with firefox 3.5. i dont know if it still works with earlier firefox versions
