Rating Dialog
A Rating Dialog box is used to enter a new rating formula. A rating formula can be used to evaluate an individual player's performance or the performance of the entire team.
Player or team Rating is classified as a miscellaneous statistic category. To include Ratings in a report, select Rating in the Hitting, Fielding, and Miscellaneous Stats dialog box. If you select Rating as one of the columns of information to display in the report, the Rating Dialog is displayed before the report is prepared to give you an opportunity to edit the rating formula values. :
Within the Rating Dialog current rating formula values are displayed. For positive categories such as Hits, Runs, Runs Batted In, Infield Assists, or Put Outs, you can enter a number from 0 to 9. For negative categories such as Call Third Strikes, Pass Balls, Throwing Errors, or Missed Sign you can enter a number from -9 to 0. The value you enter for each statistic category will either emphasize or de-emphasize that particular category in the overall rating. If you do not want a particular statistic to be a part of the rating, enter a zero for that category.
For a player or team, the Rating is calculated by taking the rating number (-9 to 9) for each rating formula category and multipling it by the corresponding player or team's statistic value. The result of each multiplication is added to give the final rating value.
When the Rating Dialog appears on the screen, all of the current rating formula values are displayed. If these values are the ones you want to use in your formula, simply select the OK button. Otherwise, to change the rating formula values, follow these steps: B
1) For each rating value that you
want to change, select that
category with the mouse or press
Enter repeatedly until that
category is highlighted. Enter
the new rating value. Go on to
next category to be changed.
2) After all of the desired rating
values are entered, select OK.
Most of the rating value descriptions are straight forward and similar to or the same as the descriptions used when the statistics are first entered. However, some of the pitching category descriptions might not be as obvious and are described below:
No ER in CG: no earned runs in a
complete game
1 ER in CG: one earned run in a
complete game
Ls Th 3 ER in CG: less than three
earned runs in a
complete game
More Than 5 ER: more than 5 earned runs
in a game
Walk 1st Btr of I: walked 1st batter
