• Fast Break with tip-in made - Users can now stop the game clock in the overtime period at any point and close the game (for the leagues, which uses 'Target Score Period Ending')
• A bug where the 'Shot Clock' violation when selected from the Rebounding screen was not added to team turnovers but added to 'total turnovers' is now fixed
• Synergy Stats crashing on search in fixtures screen bug is also fixed

Mid-Game Jump Ball

Some non-FIBA leagues worldwide use jump balls to resume the game with two opposing players competing for a jump ball to settle special situations where penalties cancel out and neither team is previously entitled to the ball, possession is not determined, and to settle any held balls.

Synergy Stats now accommodates in-game jump ball functionality and when clicking on the Jump Ball button after the initial one (tip-off jump ball) in the course of the game, the users will see a new screen, where the 2 contestants for the jump ball will be present, along with team possession to resume the game. This functionality will not impact the possession arrow's direction and behavior but will change team possession.

The game clock will start the same way as in the initial jump ball and the play-by-play will have information on the jump ball contestants populated.

Note: The alternating possession arrow is still valid but only for quarter start's possession and ball direction. It will not be linked to the mid-game jump ball.

Synergy Stats action log play by play for the mid-game jump ball (example: held ball after missed shot). 

Mid-game jump ball can also be activated via the Rebounding screen. If the user selects Jump Ball a pop-up window for contesting jump ball will appear.

Fast Break with Tip-in

A new button is now introduced and available within the tip-in scenarios list. Users can mark if a tip-in made shot will be added to the points on the fast break, by selecting Tip In Made + Fast Break.

When the user selects this option, the Synergy Stats play-by-play will automatically assign offensive rebound and basket made (layup or dunk) to the respective player, and fast break action.
