Editing stats in PrestoStats Volleyball

When editing stats here are a few notes you should be aware of:

  • PrestoStats can only be used to edit a PAK stats file. If an XML file was uploaded to generate the box score, then you can’t use PrestoStats to edit that file. An error message will appear describing this limitation and will ask if you will want to proceed by deleting the XML file and starting the game over. In this scenario, you should be reaching out to the institution that inputted the stats, ask them to make the edits on their end, and then send you an updated XML file to upload to the event or have them upload an updated XML file if they have access.

  • Depending on the number of edits you need to make to the game it actually may be easier to revert the box score to the version before where the edits need to be made, and then re-input the stats from there.

  • These instructions can be used for making edits while the game is in progress or after the game has been completed.

  • When making edits you should check to make sure the changes are being saved and are syncing to the network by looking for the green check mark and timestamp in upper left corner of PrestoStats:
