That's the main selling point for me. And with the source code available, I can get our programmers to customize it for me if needed. Thanks in advance for your work!

yup i knew this was the issue with mine, but i found that it worked better then not having one at all but it definitely was not as sophisticated as a system like this.

For the future i will update my excel one for future games but am in the process of working on something else with my brother-in-law. We are working on a java based scouting app that will run on any java enabled cell phone, laptop, pda, etc. This will have all the functionality of my excel sheet with the added function of a server located locally or remotely (we are going to have one) where you enter data and it will transmit to a general server. For strategy teams that means as long as your driver has a cell phone he can get up to date team information up to the second the match starts. Hopefully there will be a beta version available in time for a few off season events and then a final version for the game next year.
