ℹ️ There are five different options for File Name Mode:
- Use Default File Name: this will make the file name "bbgame.xml".
- Use Game Number: this will make the file name whatever is set up in NCAA LiveStats-- Game-- Game Information-- Game Number field.
- Use NCAA Game ID: this will make the file name the NCAA Game ID, which can be found in NCAA LiveStats-- Help-- Game Information -- Conference Game ID. This will not work for practice games.
- Use NCAA Match ID (Genius Sports): this should only be used in the rare instance when NCAA Game ID is not present.
- Custom File Name: this can be any desired alpha-numeric file name. Make sure to put ".xml" at the end of the name.

- In-Arena Utility is intended to work in conjunction with other third-party utilities. Its job is to place a live XML file in a known location, allowing other utilities to be directed to it for reading game data.
It will depend on what other people or applications need access to it:
- Folder will place the "bbgame.xml" file on the local machine, or any other location that is mapped to that machine.
- FTP will place it in on a remote FTP server that can be accessed by other users of that FTP server.
ℹ️ Multiple connections can be configured in the IAU if it's needed to send
the "bbgame.xml" file to multiple locations.
✅ Yes, IAU generates .sb files which are compatible with serial scoreboards.
✅ Yes.
- IAU will save those connections the next time the utility is opened.
- If there are no changes to be made, simply click Start to activate those connections again.
