Leagues: General Information
The "General" tab enables you to create and/or modify some
general information about leagues.
You can change or enter the following general characteristics of
a league:
-
The name of the league (up to 30
characters)
-
The year of the league. The year has
no effect on league play, so you can enter any value you like.
-
The era to which the league is
assigned. Unlike the year, the era you assign to a league has a
significant impact on league play, as it determines the playing
conditions (including the level and type of offense, error rates,
and pitcher durability) for your league.
-
The schedule that will be used for
league play.
NOTE: If this league is part of an organization
that involves inter-league play, you must choose the schedule at
the organization level, and you cannot change it here. If this
league is not involved in inter-league play, you can select from
any of the schedules in your database. After your season has
started, you cannot switch to another schedule unless you first use
the "Restart a season" command on the Tools menu.
-
A UID, or Universal ID. You can think
of the UID as uniquely identifying a league. You need to
assign each league a UID if you want to use DMB's
Encyclopedia to maintain multiple years of stats. If a
league has a default UID of -1, type in the input box to assign a
unique UID.
This page of the League window also displays some status
information that you cannot change:
-
If you have created an organization, assigned this league to
that organization, and set up the organization for inter-league
play, the name of the organization is shown in Inter-league
play.
-
The season stage is shown in the status box. This indicates
whether your league is still in the off-season or is now playing
games from some other stage of your season (pre-season, regular
season, or post-season).
-
The date of the last game played in this league is also
displayed in the status box.
