NCAA LiveStats for Basketball does not come equipped to edit a game once it is finalized. However, to comply with NCAA rules regarding post game statistics requests, NCAA LiveStats can be unlocked to allow post game editing. Any user with a Post-Game Edit License, the Game Key, and a current version of the software can make edits.. This is a one-time request that you make at the beginning of the season and it covers both men's and women's basketball. (Note that NLS for all other sports does not require a post-game edit license).
NOTE: NCAA member schools are required to follow NCAA Statistics Policies and Guidelines when making statistical changes. The visiting team may make the request, the home team may make the change, and both teams must be properly informed of any changes made. Please consult the NCAA Statistics Policies and Guidelines manual here: http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/ForSIDs/Policies.pdf
