Updating Streaks and Usage
When you play games within a single DMB database, DMB continually updates the database with current information about injuries, pitcher and catcher usage, and hitting streaks. All of this information is time-dependent, so when games are played out of order or imported from several different computers, these values may be incorrect.
At the end of a Play Cycle, after a Commissioner has imported all of the transfer files that were sent in by the Managers in the league, the Commissioner can run the Update streaks and usage command to scan the games in the order they were scheduled and rebuild all of these time-dependent values.
NOTE: This command works correctly only if you are saving game-by-game statistics for your league or organization. It is these game-by-game records that allow DMB to ascertain when players were used and when hitting streaks occurred. See Leagues: Rules and Options for more on this setting.
