A system and method for determining a performance-indicating statistic for a goal based sports game, the sports game involving time, the method comprising: storing at least one sports game box score, the at least one box score representing a performance in the sports game; determining intermediate data related to the sports game from the at least one stored box score, the intermediate data comprising at least accrued time and any goal scored; calculating the performance-indicating statistic, which indicates a measure of performance of the sports game, from the intermediate data; presenting the calculated performance-indicating statistic. The at least one box score and/or the calculated performance indicating statistic can be electronically displayed on a video display or an electronic scoreboard during or after a game and/or may be communicated for display on a global communications network or a television show.

Apparatus for determining performance-indicating numbers in sports games, particularly in ice-hockey

In a converting device for converting a box score in hockey game eventually to final statistics relating to composite power play, composite penalty efficiency, two-player power-play, two-player penalty efficiency, major power play, major penalty efficiency, composite hot seat, hot seat two-player disadvantage, hot seat major disadvantage, and earned goal average, and wherein the final statistics are, in turn, obtainable from intermediate statistical data, the improvement, wherein the intermediate statistical data are identifiable by a combination of respective letters and/or numbers, and are feedable into a standard calculator or computer so as to obtain the final statistics therefrom and wherein the connecting device is composed of a longitudinal carriage adapted to having a timing chart affixed thereto, and a converting apparatus for obtaining the intermediate statistical data from the box score.

Apparatus for determining performance-indicating numbers in sports

An on-off water valve which is adapted to be removably fixed to the end of a water faucet which comprises a valve housing, a valve seat extending across the valve housing and dividing said housing into an upper and lower portion, said valve seat provided with a centrally disposed aperture therein, a valve stem extending axially through the valve housing and provided with a valve head which is slidably received by said aperture in a water-tight manner, and a control arm disposed from the outside of the valve housing and extending through said housing and communicating with the base of the valve stem, said control arm being adapted to be moved axially with respect to the valve housing, the valve head being seated or unseated in the valve seat depending upon the direction of movement of said control arm.
