Abstract

In last few decades sport has become more than just a game. Today it's a big business, with lots of money invested in it. Getting right information as quickly as possible makes a difference between winning or losing. Statistics in sport is most valuable to coaches, but also the whole population of sport lovers. Using modern technology and mass media like TV and Internet, people are able to follow their teams and players. This paper describes software consisting of three applications: main application (BSV) used to collect statistical data during basketball game in Firebird relational database, Uploader application used to send data to central web server over FTP and web application used to show statistical data from following game. BSV and Uploader applications are programmed in C++ programming language, while web application is programmed using PHP, HTML and JavaScript.
