ScoreKeeper
6.0 Issues
Note: As of 4/23/03 the update patch allows
printing play by play reports for games that gave error messages even
though they were scored with version 6.0. Not designed for printing
play by play of version 5.0 game files.
v 6.0c
Fixes an issue with pitching stats being moved from a starting
pitcher to a new pitcher if the new pitcher was added to the lineup right
before the pitching change and the pitcher that was replaced was the last
player in the lineup.
v 6.0b
It fixes the dropped fielding nomenclature for Fielded out and
dropped spray line if the last out of the inning was a fielded out. Also
fixes an issue when entering a duplicate uniform number in Enter Lineups
as Players Bat mode that could cause it to get confused about the lineup
order. Fixed a bug related to beaming lineups that had blank lines.
Also fixed printing a Play by Play html report you will get an
error message saying "ver 6.0 is required", even if the game was
scored in version 6.0. This happened to games that were originally
created by exporting them from TurboStats in the Lineup Screen. Even
though the game was scored in version 6.0.
v 6.0a
Fixed the index out of range fatal error caused by copying lineups that
contain blank lines.
Fixed the problem with the game date not set correctly for games
exported from TurboStats. This was not actually a bug. It
turns out that this was never implemented.

- Use My Computer to view to the c:\winstats\pilot directory.
Check for the file sk2turb2.exe. Right click on this file and
choose Properties > Compatibility and choose Run as Administrator
(Windows 7 or Vista)
- Double click on sk2turb2.exe. The curser should blink without
any error messages. See if the games are in the list in TurboStats
now.

- Search for the ScoreKeeper game files on your PC. Use the
[Start] button and choose SEARCH or FIND. Choose "All files
and folders" and enter *.pdb in the "all or part
of filename" box. then press SEARCH. If you don't see
any sk_??.pdb files or if you only see games from last year then the
Palm Hotsyncing is not working. Check the Hotsync cable, Hotsync
icon settings above or reinstall the Palm Desktop software from the CD
that was included with your Palm Pilot (not the TurboStats install cd).
If you lost the Palm Desktop CD or have Windows 7 or Vista64 click
here. Also see the Hotsyncing
instructions at the top of this page.
still no games (there may be one game that's corrupt and
stopping the software from showing the others)
- Then move all the sk_.pdb files from the backup folder into a new directory or if all your
games are still on the Palm Pilot then just delete all the sk_ files and
send them to the recycle bin. Move one game file back at a time by
using the RESTORE option in the recycle bin. Press the PDA icon in
TurboStats after moving in each game. When you move the problem
game back, you will get the error message again. Note: Games
with innings longer than 17 will need to be shorted see
below.
additional notes:
- Games will not hotsync correctly to PC if a game names in
ScoreKeeper uses a "/" symbol
in the game file name. For example, if you played the
Cubs and named the game Cubs G2 6/1. It won't hotsync correctly
because on the PC a / indicated a new folder. Edit the game name in the c:/palm/username/backup
directory (if you can find it). and then double click the game to load
it back to the palm pilot. This may or may not work all the
time. It depends on the filename. If you have to rename any
games on ScoreKeeper, install this app on your Palm and use it to rename
games, you must leave the sk_ and .pdb extentions in the game
name. see Download
Fileman
- It is possible for a user to created two games in ScoreKeeper with the same name.
If one game file is UPPERCASE and the other LOWERCASE or if the case of
any letter is different. We suggest you only capitalize the first letter
of the game files to prevent this situation. You can score both games
but you will have an error when you hotsync because the PC cannot interpret both games as separate files.
The way to fix this is to rename the game with the App Fileman or you
can delete or move the game on the PC in the c:\palm\yourusername\backup
directory after you import the date into TurboStats. Then delete
that game on the Palm. When you hotsync the second game will come
over and be listed under the <*> Imported Game option as the first
game (date). You can import it from that menu. Note: you
cannot rename the file on the PC and expect it to hotsync back to the
Palm with a new name. It will still retain the original name use
when you created it in ScoreKeeper regardless of the name you edit on
the PC.
- 17 inning max limit. If you
have a game longer than 17 innings sk2turbo.exe will not process any
additional games and not create any error message. If you use
RESET then you will no longer see any games in the list. To fix
this you will need to record the stats manually for all innings past the
17th. Then on the PDA use the UNDO option to get back to the
bottom of the 17th inning. Then Hotsync again and the games should
appear. Import the game then manually add the additional stats in
TurboStats.
- Still no games? Email your game file (sk??.pdb) to turbostats@aol.com
as an attachment.

Import Game Form Does Not Appear
Question: When I choose games> Import from ScoreKeeper
or press the PDA icon in TurboStats, you get a
message that says "can't find sk2turbo.exe". "ScoreKeeper is not
installed" and the import form never appears. Solution: Exit out of
TurboStats and delete the file c:\winstats\import.inf. Then start TurboStats again and it
will reset the import.inf file.
Old versions of ScoreKeeper potental error messages
When I try to HotSync it gives me an error message like this one.
-- Possible database overwrite problem. Backing up database with Creator
ID 0x536b3031 to file C:\Palm\PasketE\Backup\sk_Granger_2.PDB. The file
contained database with Creator ID 0x534b5453 data. OK System with 1
message(s). Solution: You created two game files with
the same name but one is upper case. Delete the game that hotsync's
over from your Palm after you imported it into TurboStats. Then find
the game file on your PC and move it to another directory. Then
hotsync and the second game will come over. Choose All Games when
importing into TurboStats and select the previous game. This time
the data will be for the second game. Make sure you use unique game
file names in the future.
When I try to
Import a game it brings in a few players and then give the error
"Check the game notes"
Solution: You created a player with only 3 characters in the
name. This can cause this error. Add more characters to the
players name in TurboStats on the PC in the Team Form. You can also
add these extra characters in ScoreKeeper on the lineup and rehotsync the
games.
How to delete a game in TurboStats you imported by mistake: If
you imported an incorrect game then delete all players out of the batting order for the
game in TurboStats and use Game> Delete Game menu to remove it. You can only delete the
last game in the TurboStats game list.
HotSync Error Message (version 3.0 only): During
the HotSync process you get a fatal error message from sk2turbo.exe
Cause: Do not change a player's uniform number after you start
scoring a game. Make all uniform numbers changes before the game begins. It's
ok to add players to the lineup after the game begins. If you change a uniform
number during the game you will get this error.
Solution:
- Clean out all files in the winstats\pilot\output directory
- Check to see if you changed the uniform number of a pitcher. Version 4.0 supports
this but 3.0 does not. To fix the problem yourself you can open the game on the
pilot and move to the first inning (press GoTo). Scroll thru the batters using the
right arrow. You will see a pitcher called Unknown Player #??. Move to the
current batter and edit the team lineup to add a temporary player with that same uniform
number #??. Now you can HotSync again.
Exporting a Lineup from
TurboStats to ScoreKeeper
Export to ScoreKeeper procedure to
bring data into ScoreKeeper from TurboStats.
Note: You can export a blank game
with two lineups to score in ScoreKeeper. You cannot export any
statistical data created in TurboStats as scorekeeper data. Only
rosters.
- Create or Open a team file
in TurboStats. use [Open an Existing Team] or Create a
New Team.
- Press the Lineup tab at the lower left of the TurboStats Team Form
- Drag players on the field and set the batting order if you
wish, It can be changed on the Palm later.
- Press the Palm Icon in the Lineup Form
- Enter the opposing team's roster if you wish, you can edit the
lineup or add/delete players later at the field. You can create
the opponents lineup from scratch at the field as well
- Press CREATE
- When promted select a Palm User ID from the list. You can have
more than one PDA Hotsyncing to your computer
- Enter the game file name. Be careful not to enter a game name
you used before or currently have on your PALM. The game on the
palm will be overwritten when you hotsync if it has the same name.
- Press the hotsync button when you are finished. The game
should appear in your ScoreKeeper game list.
Problems Exporting Lineups
- Use My Computer to view to the c:\winstats\pilot directory.
Check for the file sklineup.exe. Right click on this file and
choose Properties > Compatibility and choose Run as Administrator
(Windows 7 or Vista).
still no game on the PDA
- make sure you have selected the correct palm user id. Try it
again and select another ID if there is more than one in the list
still no game on the PDA
- Reinstall the ScoreKeeper software from the CD. Try it
again. If you still don't see the game, search for *.pdb and see
if the game is being created on your PC. If so use the Palm
Quick Install Tool and press ADD to load the game manually.
Problems Hotsyncing with version 10.0 TurboStats
Exporting lineup does not
bring up the correct team roster. Solution: If you have
TurboStats 10.0a use the File>Rename Team command and eliminate all
spaces in the team file name or replace the space with a _ character. Then use the Export
command again. Look for the 10.0b update
to be posted. Example My Team.tm change to My_Team.tm
Problem: When I try to import a game with version 10.0 it
keeps prompting me for the player's names. I see the players name in
the list of players and can select it, but why doesn't it work
automatically? Answer: If you have upgraded your
TurboStats from an older version and can see uniform numbers in front of
the player's names then you have a problems with your defaults.inf
file. Close TurboStats completely first. Then in the c:/winstats
directory edit the file defaults.inf in Notepad (just double click on it
and notepad should load). The 17th line down should be either a -1
or 0. If it's blank then type in a 0 (zero) and press save.
Now the game should import automatically and there should be no uniform
number shown in the import screen. Check to see if there is a new
update for TurboStats you should download. see update
You
create a new lineup in TurboStats, then press HotSync and your game does not appear in the
ScoreKeeper game list
Solution A: Start your Palm Install Tool using Start>
Programs>Palm Desktop>Palm Install Tool. Check to see what the default user
name is. If you have more than one user that's your problem. Delete the other
users in the Palm Desktop under Tools> Users
Solution B: If you only have one user on your Palm Desktop and
still do not see the new game in the game list you probably are creating a ScoreKeeper
game with the same filename as an existing game in the list. When you use the
TurboStats Lineup Creator to make your game and hit the export button, a default file name
will be created using the opponents name. If you played this opponent already then
you will create a duplicate game if you accept the default that will replace the game on
the pilot. Just make a change to the game datafile name to solve the problem.
Note: you could lose game data if you did not import the game and you make a new game
with the same filename.
Problem: I Can't change uniform number after I start scoring a
game.
Solution: This was only a limitation in version 3.0C. Request an
upgrade to fix this. We still recommend that you don't change uniform number for
players who already have stats.
How Do I Start a New Season?
There are various approaches to creating a new season in ScoreKeeper and
TurboStats. We have listed a few methods here so choose the best
method for your program and your desired use of last years data. Just
so you understand how ScoreKeeper games are backed up. When you
hotsync your PDA the Palm software copies all of your ScoreKeeper game files
to a folder on your computer. Usually c:\program
files\palm\your palm id\backup. These files end with .pdb. If
you use the Delete function on the PDA the game files will be moved on the
PC when you hotsync to a folder called "archive". You could
always add these old games back using the Palm Quick Installer app in the
Palm Desktop.
Approach 1. No need to use or refer to last years data on the
Palm but you want to save the Career totals in TurboStats on the PC.
- On the PC start TurboStats and use Create a New Team
- Enter a new filename like Reds2010 so you can refer back to the year
in the future
- Add players to the team or use the IMPORT button if any players have
come back from last years team
- Under the IMPORT screen, select Browse and open last years
TurboStats team database. (example: Reds2009)
- Double click on all players from last year that are returning and
press SAVE after each. Then press IMPORT again.
- Repeat this till all the old players are imported from last years
database. If you press CAREER you should see their old stats.
- NOTE: If you don't want to see their old Career numbers, use
the ADD button and retype in their names instead of using IMPORT.
- ON the PDA Hotsync to save all the old games back to your computer
- Open ScoreKeeper on the PDA
- Highlight each game in the Game list and press DELETE till they are
all gone.
- Hotsync your PDA again. This will move all ScoreKeeper games
to the archive folder on your PC
- Open TurboStats, open your new team file and press LINEUP at the
bottom
- Click the PDA icon and export a new game to your PDA to score.
You can also use NEW in ScoreKeeper and type the roster on the
PDA. Be careful to spell the names the same as they are in
TurboStats. (You can edit them later if necessary)
- Hotsync the new game over to the PDA
- After scoring your first game open TurboStats, open your new team
and Press [Games] to enter the Game Form
- Click on the PDA icon and press RESET to clear out all the old
games. ( you should see only your current game in the list)
Approach 2. You want to refer to last years data for your
Opponents stats and spray charts on the Palm and you want to save the
Career totals for your players in TurboStats on the PC. You don't
want last years stats for your team to be included when you view stats on
the PDA. It's important to understand that ScoreKeeper tracks stats
by Lineup Team Name and Uniform Number.
- follow steps 1-7 above to setup your TurboStats team and bring over
Career data.
- Open ScoreKeeper on the PDA. Any old games you don't want to
keep, delete them now off ScoreKeeper. Then Hotsync
- On the PDA, ScoreKeeper tracks stats by the Lineup Names and Uniform
Numbers. If any off your opposing player have new uniform
numbers for this season, you must go back to the old games on
ScoreKeeper, click Lineup and edit the numbers. Be careful as
editing uniform numbers must be done in steps (one player at a time)
so ScoreKeeper won't get the data confused. If someone has the
number 2 this season but was say number 10 last year and is now number
2 this season, then follow these steps.
- If there was another player #2 last year in the old ScoreKeeper
games, change the player from number 2 to a number not used in the
lineup like number 20. Then exit the ScoreKeeper
lineup and ScoreKeeper will search through all old events changing
number 2 to 20.
- Now go back into the ScoreKeeper Lineup and edit the player
coming back with a new numer from number from 10 to 2 and exit the
lineup. Repeat this till all the old players have been
edited to their new numbers for this season.
- If there is a new player on the Opposing team that didn't play last
year, that is using another players number from last season, you don't
want to see the old player's data when you press ALL GAMES in
ScoreKeeper. Edit the old game lineups to change the uniform
numbers from players not returning, to numbers that are not used on
this years team. Change them one player at a time, exiting the
lineup after each change. Repeat for each game against this
opponent on the PDA
- If you exported a new game to score (this season) from TurboStats,
Open that game in ScoreKeeper. (or tap NEW to create a new game
in ScoreKeeper. Use the pull down list to open the Opposing team
roster but type in your team lineup name and make it different from
last season. Example Reds2010).
- For all new games this season, your team lineup name will be
different than last season (example: Reds2010) but your Opponents
lineup name will be the same as last seasons. When you press All
Games you won't see any old stats for your team but you will for the
opponent.
- If you don't want to make changes to the Opponents lineup, you can
give them a new lineup name as well for this season. If you want
to see their spray charts and stats you have to exit the game your
scoring, open an old game from last year and view the stats.
Since the lineup names are different, it won't mix-up the players with
new uniform numbers.
Approach 3. Clear the old games and start with a clean slate.
Delete all the games off
your ScoreKeeper game list. Then press RESET in the Games> Import from
Scorekeeper screen to start the new season. You can also run the program in your c:\winstats\pilot directory called skBackup.exe
(available with ScoreKeeper 4.0 or higher) click here if you don't have
it. Run this program to move your sk_?? game files from your c:\palm\your_user_id\backup directory into
an archive directory. c:\palm\your_user_id\archive.
It is important to do this each year so you don't accidentally use the same game file
name as last season if you play the same opponent again this season. On the new Palm
Pilots this is done automatically if you delete the games off your Palm ScoreKeeper
screen. We recommend that you put the year in your scorekeeper game files names just
in case.
How
do I edit the pitching stats if I forgot to change pitchers
The Edit button
allows changing a previously recorded atbat including changing the
pitcher. There are times when
you need to change an atbat recorded earlier but do not want to use
Undo, loosing all the data that was recorded after the atbat that needs
changing. The Edit
button will allow you to
edit every aspect of the atbat. Care
must be used when using Edit .
It is possible to edit an atbat to create
situations that make no sense, such as 4 outs.
To change an atbat use the left <-
arrow to scroll back the each atbat you need to change, tap EDIT to bring
up the edit form. If you are changing pitchers, select the pitcher
for the atbat, the press PITCHES to bring up the pitching form and
then press Done. Pressing Pitches is neceassary to transfer all the
pitches thrown to the new pitcher. Otherwise the new pitcher will
get the Batter Faced and the stats but not the number of balls and strikes
thrown. REPEAT this for each atbat you had the wrong pitcher
in. NOTE: although you can change all the pitching stats, the
number of innings pitched in the Fielding Stats sections of TurboStats
will not import correctly and will show the original innings. After
you import the game into TurboStats, select the new pitcher in the batting
order, press the fielding tab and choose the Pitcher position from the
pull down list, edit the number of innings and then subtract the
number of innings from the original pitcher. This will not effect
the Pitching stats, only the fielding innings played if you don't make
this change.
Printing Scoresheets in version
5.0
Fixes were made to the Scorebook page print program to fix errors with
batting around and orders with players that have unchecked [x] Bats boxes
in the middle of the lineup. It also fixes other issues listed
below.
ScoreSheet Printing Limitations:
- There is only room for 3 players in
each spot in the lineup. If more than 2 players were substituted in
to the same spot in the lineup, only the first two will be show
- Only the first 10 pitchers pitched for each
team will be shown
- If 9 or less players batted in the lineup
(i.e. 9 rows), the maximum number of columns (each inning is 1 col, unless
batted around then 2 cols) that can be printed is 22
- If 10 or more players batted in the lineup
or more than 5 pitchers pitched, the maximum number of columns that can be
printed is 14.
- User can not specify portrait or landscape.
It will be automatically determined by the following criteria
- If the number of players batting is >=10
or the number of Pitchers is >= 6 then print portrait. Else print
landscape
Question: The Pitching summary doesn't fit on the
page. Answer: Depending on how many players batting the summary
might not fit on the page. There is no fix for this except for using
legal size paper and changing the paper size in the printer setup.
Printing Scoresheets in version 4.0
Question: How do I get the balls and strike to print on my score
sheet? I do not
use the Ks on my palm so it should work. What am I doing wrong. Answer: There
has been some reported problems with the balls and strikes not appearing on some
printers. The solutions has been with the printer driver. Postscript printers
tend to drop the ball and strikes. Please download and install the most recient
version of your printer driver and the problem should go away. If you printer has
non postscript drivers try those. This has been fixed with ScoreKeeper
version 5.0.
Question: How do I print a ScoreSheet? Answer:
Click here
Question: I can't get the scoresheets to print. I did not
accept the default path during installation and instead put Scorekeeper in the Programs
Files directory. Answer: (TurboStats 9 or earlier) Edit the path in the game form (click on
the notepad icon) to be Program Files instead of Progra~1. Then save the game and
then try to print the scoresheet.
