Setting up the League
Before a Commissioner distributes the League Database at the
beginning of the season, it is important to make sure that the
right options have been selected for the league or
organization.
To set these options, use the View>Organizer command to open the Organizer
window, click on the Leagues tab, double-click on the League you
wish to modify, and then click on the Rules and
options tab in the Modify League
window. (If your setup includes two leagues that are linked by an
Organization, go to the
Orgs tab instead.) The options tab looks like this:
We recommend that you choose Always
for the options to automatically save boxscores and scoresheets. It
doesn't matter which boxscore format you choose.
We also recommend that you check the Game-by-game statistics box. Without this, the DMB
database will not include the information needed to generate
reports for a time interval, and you will not be able to use the
Update streaks and
usage command.
NOTE: You
MUST check the
Game account box.
Without this, DMB will not save the information about each game
that allows that game to be transferred using the
Export statistics and Import statistics
commands.
The Transactions and lineups option
should almost always be set to Do not use
transactions and lineups. Most DMB leagues (that transfer
statistics) use rosters that have nothing to do with where the
players played in real life, so any attempt to use real-life
transactions and game-by-game lineups is meaningless.
You can choose whatever settings you
like for the other league rules.
