COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS Here are a number of the most commonly asked questions and their answers. Q: Can I enter data from years past? A: Yes, what you need to do is change the current season, using the Utility Menu option "Change Current Season", to the season in which you wish to enter data from. Then add to your roster all of the players who are not on your current roster. Then put the data in as if it were that season again. If you are going so far back that none of your current players were on the roster, you may wish to use the Deactivate feature to put them into "hiding" so you will not have to go past their edit screens each time. Q: When I select "Enter Match Statistics" I get the END OF ROSTER message right away. How do I start entering my players' statistics? A: The first step is to create a roster by going to the Utility Menu and selecting "Add Player to Roster". If you already had a roster created, check to make sure you do not have them all deactivated by selecting "Display Roster." Q: We have Varsity, Junior Varsity and Freshman teams. Is there a way I can separate their stats? A: Install the program again onto your hard drive by making a new subdirectory, (ie C:\SK2_JV) or if using a floppy drive, create a new diskette for each team. Q: What are the limitations of the amount of data I can input? A: ROSTER Cannot exceed 100 players. CAREER MATCHES A maximum of 200 matches per player. TOTAL MATCHES All players combined -- if using: - Low Density floppy: approx. 1900 matches - High Density floppy: approx. 12,000 matches - Hard-disk drive: Limited only to the size of your hard drive. NOTE: Once you delete a player from your roster, only record data is saved, and the rest of the data is deleted, freeing up memory on your disk. Also, these figures are computed with this file not being resident on the diskette.
