The Player / Add Player menu command is used to create the roster entries for your team. Players can be entered into the active roster or expansion roster. Each player in the active roster has their own detailed stats page. Players in the expansion roster appear in a composite page. The expansion roster title can be renamed as desired (e.g.: Reserves, Substitutes, Alternates, Wannabe's, etc.)
The active roster can hold a maximum of 25 players. The expansion roster is essentially unlimited. There is no limit on the amount of game slot entries for either an active or expansion roster player.
Follow-up modifications and maintenance can be made via the other commands in the Player menu. The Transfer Stats command allows players and their stats to be moved to/from the active and expansion rosters as desired.
The game scoresheet is the source for the batting statistics for each game.
The Player / Update Player Stats... menu command is used to transcribe the individual player stats from the game scoresheets into the team worksheet. This command invokes the Select Player Name and Game dialog box. The game of interest and the first player name is selected by this dialog. Players from the active or expansion roster (renamed Reserves in this example) can be selected via the dropdown menu. This command is also used for making changes to existing entries for a particular player and game.
After the game and player name have been selected, the Player Update dialog will appear. The drag bar will indicate whether this is a new entry for this player/game selection or an update to existing stats. The dialog is constructed for rapid entry of the player statistics with the fields in the same order as found in most scoresheets. The values will be sanity-checked to catch most data entry errors.
After the stats have been entered/updated, the SBC will prompt the user for the next player in alphabetical sequence. The user may choose to go to a different player/game entry as desired.
The SBC maintains a game-by-game statistics area for each active roster player on the team.
A separate composite stats page will contain the entries for all players in the expansion roster. The user has the option of viewing these entries sorted by player name or by game number as desired.
The SBC collates composite player statistics from the game-by-game stats for each active player on the team. A composite of the expansion roster players stats (Reserves in this example) is also calculated.
