Thanks, Core2idiot

Having reliable BlueTooth connectivity is essential. The first section of README_ScoutDataEntry2010.txt is devoted to a discussion on different BlueTooth service managers. I've had the best luck with BlueSoleil, specifically version 2.7.0.35 - it works well with both XP and Vista. I haven't tried it with Windows 7.

Data entry instructions can be found here: http://www.nventivity.com/Scout2_Instr.pdf. Because we're using the same arrow keys to count shots and made shots, you have to tilt the wiimote to the left or right to differentiate betwen the two. There's a dead zone between them, so you have to tilt one way or the other.

For BRC (ball re-entry control), turn the "button-side" of the wiimote so that it's vertical (rotate about the long axis) and press the < button (in the orientation shown in the pdf).

To save match data, advance to the "Confirm Save" screen, hold the trigger and give the wiimote a firm shake.
