| Dave,
I'm a bit confused (what else is new). I was of the believe that up to now
someone pulled the stats from somewhere off the web, formatted them for our
leagues as FREEZE_%%.ALPIT, .ALBAT, .NLPIT, .NLBAT files, then mailed them to a
distribution list consisting of league stat guys, league officers, and anyone
else who wanted the FREEZE files.
For those of us that were on that list do we need to go pull stuff off the
web now? If so does each league have to format the stats for the RLS stat
program?

George is correct that the stats Dave provides do need to
be processed to be formatted to work with our program. That
will continue to be done and provided to the leagues by Mike
Brule and I with the considerable help of former DEC Rotis
Mogul Don Goguen... BTW... Don says hello to all his friends
here at Digital.
Mike and I need to talk about how we will distribute the stats
this year. I'm not sure we have an accurate list of who needs
them anymore. What we may consider doing is post the re-formatted
files in here and then anyone who needs them to runs stats or
anyone else who just wants them can pull them. More on that
later but we are covered as to getting and distributing the
stats.
Btw, I am not sure folks realize the major contribution Dave
makes to our being able to operate by providing us the raw
stats and that Don Goguen continues to make to Digital Rotis
by helping us with the stats programs. They both deserve a
huge "Thank You".

| Well Tom and I talked and agreed to put the stats in here. We'll
open 4 new notes and put each file in it's own note. That way we don't
have to worry about distribution lists and it will be easier for the 2
of us. Also if we both are out we'll have someone post them.

| re -.2
I've been a quiet user of the files for the past few years but I do
want to thank all of the people involved with getting these stats to
us, it's one of the few high points of working here. If you need any
help feel free to call on me.

| 124.5 | help with adding categories | WRKSYS::MORIN | | Thu Mar 27 1997 13:59 | 5 |
| Right now I'm set up to run the league using 8 categories. Is there a
way to add more categories? Specifically, K's, IP, OBP, and Errors.

The RLS Stats program that we currently use for DEC Rotisserie is written in
an old VMS programming language called KOALA. No doubt there was a KOALA
compiler on some VMS system at some time in the past and no doubt someone knew
how to program in that language at one time but trying to find a KOALA compiler
or programmer today would probably be a bit of a stretch. As a result we just
keep our fingers crossed and hope the images keep running.
That being the case, the best way to add new categories would be to run a
program that combined them with one of the existing categories. Say for example
that you wanted to add "holds" to give extra credit for successful set up men.
What you might do is to merge "holds" with "saves" using some formula that does
the following for each pitcher:
New_Saves = (2 * Old_Saves) + Holds
As for the categories you mentioned, IPs are already in pitching ratio.
Currently that's computed [(hits+walks)/IP]. Perhaps it could be changed to
something like (hits+walks-Ks)/IP.
As for On Base Percentage and Slugging Percentage, guys who get on base a lot
already have batting average and the "runs" part of run production while
sluggers already have home runs and the RBI part of run production. Maybe
you could replace batting average with on base percentage and home runs with
total bases.
Regardless of how you go, the answer is, write a program that will read in
the current 8 categories and your new numbers and for each player merge or
replace your new numbers into one of the 8 old categories then write out
a new file in the same 8 category format. RLS will never be the wiser. Either
that or find yourself a KOALA programmer, go down to the old Mill in Maynard
and hope you can find an old KOALA compiler in some hidden closet.
