Method and system to enable a single sports software application's use across multiple sports

摘要

A computer method and system that permits a single personal computer sports software application program and its related user interface to store, display, organize, analyze, output and otherwise manage information specific to any one of a number of different sports. Sports data is maintained within a sports season data entity (i.e., Season) that is comprised of, or references, games or similar season events and related information including game scores, rosters, player statistics, game notes, pictures and multimedia. Seasons are implemented in a modular form that enables the program to dynamically load the season's sports data. Seasons also reference independent sport packages that contain statistic definitions or other information specific to a given sport. Using the information contained within the Season and associated sport package, the program reconfigures its user interface, displayed data, output, and other properties where necessary to accommodate any sport specific requirements.
