In basketball, you can choose how to best cover your game depending on the resources and volunteers that you have available to you each game. With basketball's Cover Your Way, you can choose to stream and score simultaneously on one device, score with advanced statistics, score just the basics, and/or livestream/record your event.
If you only have one volunteer, stream and score allows you to keep track of the essentials from one device. When you have more volunteers, you can have one one run the live stream while another scores. There are two different scoring options depending on the comfortability of your scorekeeper or statistical needs of your team.
Any game on a basketball team's schedule can choose the way they wish to cover, including games scheduled as part of a league or tournament. The game must still be accessed via the individual team's schedule to do so, rather than from the tournament schedule.
