Deleting team-specific player records
In most cases, the statistics
and ratings represent that player's performance in one season, but
that is not always true. If a player was traded or released during
a season, he may have statistics for more than one team. In those
cases, you may find more than one record for that player in your
database -- one for each of his real-life teams (we call these
team-specific records) and one for his overall performance (we call
these combined or composite records).
When Diamond Mind creates a
Season Disk, it places the team-specific player records on the
appropriate team rosters and puts the combined player records into
the free agent pool.
If you release players from one or more teams,
you may end up with a free agent pool that contains more than one
record for the same player. That doesn't do any harm, but there are
two situations where you might want to delete the team-specific
records and leave only the combined records:
-
if you are preparing to use the DMB drafting system and you want
the computer GM to consider only the combined records when choosing
players.
-
if you are running a DMB league and want to make sure that each
player is represented only once in the database.
To delete team-specific player records,
click Tools on
the DMB menu bar and select Delete
team-specific records. Because these
deletions are permanent and cannot be reversed, DMB asks whether
you are sure you want to do this. Click Yes to proceed.
