**IMPORTANT PLEASE READ FOR INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT HOW TO CREATE A VALID ROSTER FILE!!
To take advantage of GameDay Stat's roster integration, you must first save a roster file to your device.
There are many different techniques to do this, however the easiest is to email yourself the roster file in a standard CSV (comma separated value) format and then using your phone's email client, open and save the roster file to a local location that is easily remembered. Your device's SDCard is recommended if available.
The roster must be a valid .CSV file as explained below. Otherwise you will receive a parse error while trying to select your file.
Microsoft Excel is a great application used for creating valid CSV files.
