StatTrak for Baseball Convert Program 1.3
StatTrak 4.x (formerly SOFF BALLS) and later versions are NOT
compatible with SOFF BALLS versions 3.2 and earlier. File
formats have changed. However, you can create files in the new
4.x and later format from files created by 3.x and earlier
versions by running SBCONV.EXE. Type SBCONV to start the
program. Then enter the path where the old files exist and the
path where you want the new files to be created. If a file you
are converting to already exists, you can replace the file or
bypass processing that file. Be very careful replacing file
(the old file will be deleted).
Please note the following:
- Player names longer than 14 characters will be truncated.
The names were shortened in 4.0 to allow more categories to
be displayed on the batting and pitching report screens.
- League games will be converted to game type 1, tournament
games to game type 2, and miscellaneous games to game type
3. Versions 4.x and later allow you to name up to 7 game
types. You may want to set up new game types and then
change the game types for previously recorded games after
converting the files.
- All sacrifices will be converted to sacrifice flies.
Versions 4.x and later track both sacrifice flies and
sacrifice hits (sacrifice bunts). Previous versions put all
sacrifices into the same category.
- On-base percentage (OBP) is computed differently with 4.x
and later versions. Sacrifice flies are now included in the
OBP computation (same as major league method - see the
README file).
