Tournament Analysis



Now that you've created a team stat sheet, we can compare the team from game to game. First  though, we'll need to add a line for rebounds. You'll need to add data for three columns, offensive Rebounds, Defensive Rebounds and Total Rebounds. Then add a line for the totals at the bottom of each column. Use the SUM function to create the totals. To get the percentages, you'll need to divide the "made" columns by the "attempts" column. Freel free to color or bold columns to make it more easy to read. Us this example:

Now highlight and copy the data set and paste it twice on the sections below like to see in the example.  Next. you'll need to enter the data from the other two playoff games against CPA and Fulton. You can find the statistics on the TSSAA web site here:
