All Sport 5000: How do I configure an Elam ending for basketball?

Topic

  • Elam Endings
  • G-League Basketball overtime configuration in All Sport 5000
Elam Ending- If a game ends in a tie, a “target score” of added points will be in place for overtime -- the first team to pass that number wins. For G League 2022-2023 the target score will be 7 points. 

Environment

  • Product: All Sport 5000
  • Component: DSTI
  • Control System: Basketball
An update to All Sport 5000 may be needed for the Elam settings. All Sport: How do I update firmware via a PROM replacement?

Steps

All Sport settings: 

From the Main Menu, select the EDIT SETTINGS submenu to modify the settings.  

Blank Main Clock (Elam Ending)

This setting will blank the main clock for scoreboard and RealTime Data outputs during all or specific periods. The running clock, counting either up or down, is still visible on the LCD.

Note: TV feed clock is not blanked when this feature is enabled.

Use the left and right arrow keys to change the function:
  • DISABLED: No change to the main clock operation (default).
  • OVERTIME: (common setting for G-League 2022) Main clock scoreboard output and RTD fields 3 and 4 will blank on any period greater than the current Number of Periods (2 or 4) setting (3+ or 5+, respectively).

Considerations

Elam settings will blank the clock in the scoreboard output.  RTD fields 3 and 4 will blank for virtual scoreboards on matrix displays. RTD fields 1 and 2 should still be populated and is used by things like DSTI.

The default overtime period length is 5:00. If this time is allowed to expire, horn and light strips will still be triggered as configured. To avoid this, set the overtime length to a very high value, or set the main clock to count up.
  • 4TH PER: Same behavior as above, but for any period greater than 3.
  • ALL PER: Main clock is always blank regardless of period.
All Sport CG: The All Sport CG is not directly impacted by the Elam configuration, unless it is being used as the serial feed for Genius Sports stats, as the All Sport CG mirrors the scoreboard output. Customers using Genius and the All Sport game clock together would need to continue using DSTI. If a TV feed is still needed, DSTI can output.

Shot Clocks: The Shot Clock Auto Blank feature will be ignored when the main clock is blank. Shot clock will continue to count down after main clock expires; if shot clock is allowed to expire, horn and light strips will still be triggered as configured.

With Shot Clock Sync w/ Main enabled, the main clock must still be started to run the shot clocks.
