Problem:  I am having trouble with keeping the stat columns in my softball program
in place after I use the arrows and move them.   Solution:  Reset the stat order. See Table > Stat order > then press RESET.

Problem:  I have upgraded from an older version and can't get some of the new stats to display.   Solution:  Make sure they are turned on in the Stat Filter.  If the stat is a User Defined Stat make sure User Defined Stats is check under REPORT in the Stat Filter.  If you still don't see the stats then reset the stat order. See Table > Stat order > then press RESET.

Problem:  I have a player that I can't view spray chart information in the Player Analyzer.  All the other players work   Solution:  Check this players spray charts for each game.  Look for a spray chart that was entered for a strikeout or other event that there should be no spray chart information for and use the X in the lower right corner to delete the line.  The problem should go away.

How Do I ...

Question: How do I enter ground outs, fly outs, and fielders choice.   Answer:  In the Game Form under the Batting Tab there is a small icon that looks like a field,  click it to bring up outs and hit to locations.

Question: Can I make up my own stats:  Answer:   Yes,  any stat that appears in red in the Game Form can be changed.   However you cannot make or change the stat calculations.

Question: How can I create a lineup with a designated hitter batting for someone else? Answer:   Drag the player who will DH to the area of the field layout near the on deck circle.  You will see the DH, EH and Pinch Hitter options available.  Drop the player on DH.  Place the player in the batting order directly after the player he/she is DHing for and then make a lineup card.  It will look like the one below.

Question:  What is a Save.  Answer: A pitcher gets credited with a save if he/she enters the game with his team leading by 3 runs or less and pitches one full inning or enters the game with the potential tying run on base, at bat or  in the on deck circle.  He must pitch the remainder of the game in which his team never gives up the lead and wins.  A save can also be awarded if the pitcher enters the game with his team ahead and pitches effectively for 3 innings and he was the last pitcher in the game.

Question:  With the ProSeries, How do I print a game report breaking down batting vs righty/lefty pitching.  Answer: You must create a Team Report and use the Advance Report options to set the game from and to dates to isolate an individual game. Standard game reporting will only print total batting, pitching and fielding reports.

Question:  How come some players have pitching totals that don't add up to the totals of the individual games.  Answer: In order to display the pitching totals for a game a pitcher must have at least 1 batter faced in the game.  If you enter the stats but do not enter a batter faced, the pitcher's stats for the game will be skipped or just the righty or lefty stats will be skipped. However the totals will show up which will include the stats that are not displayed.

Question Why does the ball field shrinks when I animate plays.  The players are off the field.  Solution Switch from Large Fonts to small fonts.  Set to Small Fonts in the Display Properties-Setings-Advanced section of your Windows Operating System.

Stat Calculation Questions:

Some users challenge some of our stat calculations.  We assure you that we use the Official Rules and all our calculations have been tested and are accurate:  Some challenged calculations are:

Question: How come a Fielder's Choice does not help On base%. Answer: Fielder's Choice is considered an atbat without a hit. In most cases the batter would not have reached base if another runner was not forced out and therefore according to the official rules Fielder's Choice does not count as a time on base.

Question: How come an On By Error does not help On base%. Answer: On By Error is considered an atbat without a hit. Had it not been for the fielder's error the batter would have been out.  It only makes sense that the batter should not be credited in this situation.  However, some coaches feel that the batters speed may have forced the error and that is why we include a separate stat category called OBAe for On Base Average including errors.  You can turn this stat category on in the Stat Filter under the Batting Tab.

Question: How can a player's Batting Average be higher than his On base%. Answer: Sacrifice Flies count as a time up without being on base.  The official calculation adds Sac Flys to official Atbats for On Base%.   So to answer the question, the player must have had a sac fly.

Question: How are Total Average and Runs Created calculated:   Answer:  Look in the back of your User's Guide under Stats Tracked.  It's a long equation.

Other Baseball/Softball Specific Questions

Question: How do I print out just the batting order to give to the opposing coach? Answer: It's called a Lineup Card and you can click on the Lineup Tab at the bottom of the Team Form and then click on the clipboard icon.

Question: When entering pitching stats, do I count the number of foul balls as strikes? Do I count a ball that is hit as a strike? How about the third strike in a strike out (K) or the 4th ball in a walk (BB)?  Answer:  Every pitch that is swung on is a strike.  You would count the ball that is hit or fouled off a strike,  the third strike swinging or looking as a strike.  The fourth ball in a walk as a ball.  When you enter numbers from a scorebook page you must remember to add in these balls and strikes because they won't show up in the count boxes.   You must also track all the foul balls after 2 strikes and enter them as strikes.

Question: Can't get into the game form after open a team file created with an older version of TurboStats.  The message "Creating New User Defined Stats" keeps looping.  Solution: Delete the file in the c:\winstats directory called "your team file name".DEF.  Then get back into TurboStats and when you click on games it will recreate the user defined defaults file.

Question:  How come I can't scale the screen in the Situational Diagramming mode.  Answer: Situational Diagramming needed to be changed as the 32 bit program does not support animations well with scaled bitmap images.  You will not be able to drag the screen to make it larger like you could with version 9.0.  A copy of version 9.0 is included on the 10.0 CD if you need to use this feature. 

Question:  I upgraded and now I can't view OBS, LQ or other stats.  The values are checked in the Stat Filter.  Answer: Reset your stat order,  See the Stat Order button in the Stat Filter or the Table > Set Stat Order menu option in the Stat Viewer.  You might see a value over 103 which caused the problem.

Version 10.0 Updates

Version 10.0 represent our first 32 bit version of TurboStats.  The program file is much large than 9.0 but doesn't offer much speed improvement.  However, in order to support long file names and USB printers we were forced to upgrade the software to 32 bit.  It also supports My Network Places so you can open team files anywhere on your network.  You can print to any network printer easily without having to map an LPT port.  Version 10.0 was a major update because so many little things changed in the development software and a great deal of programming time was required to make an test all the changes.  Due to a Grid Clip bug in the 32 bit Development Software there were several bugs found in TurboStats 10.0 that did not exist in the 16 bit version of TurboStats. We apologize for the bugs but they were not our fault. All known issues have been fixed and registered users of version 10.0 can download the update for free. You must have a full copy of TurboStats 10.0 installed on your computer already to use this update.
