1. A wireless net tracker device comprising;

  • a microprocessor;

    a memory storage area for storing one or more made shot profiles, each made shot profile representing typical perturbations of the net when a shot is made;

    one or more sensors that detect actual perturbations of the net when a basketball passes through the net;

    a radio transmitter; and

    a made shot detection program in the memory storage area, the made shot detection program having program instructions that, when executed by the microprocessor, cause the microprocessor to analyze data generated by the one or more sensors and to determine whether a qualified match exists between the actual perturbations of the net and the typical perturbations of the net when a shot is made as represented by at least one of said made shot profiles;

    wherein, when the made shot detection program determines that the qualified match exists, the program instructions are further configured to cause the microprocessor to transmit a message to a personal computer system via the radio transmitter, the message indicating that a made shot event has occurred.
