Fantasy Football League Manager 1994 Edition Program History.
=============================================================
--------------------------------------------
1994 Edition, Version "K" - November 1, 1994
--------------------------------------------
Added Tie Breaker capability in the Commissioner menu. You can manually
"break a tie" by selecting which Fantasy Team is the winner of a tie
game. I decided to make the tie breaker support very generic instead
of trying to support all of the various tie break options that have
been suggested. Since ties don't happen very often, I'm hoping this
manual tie breaker method will suit all commissioners.
Updated a few of the reports to make them look cleaner and provide more
info, especially the Kitty Report and the Scoring History Report.
--------------------------------------------
1994 Edition, Version "J" - October 14, 1994
--------------------------------------------
Added Head Coaches to Player database, and added an option in the
Miscellaneous Scoring Screen to define how many fantasy points
an NFL Head Coach gets for a win.
Added "Home Team" concept to the fantasy schedule. The Home Team in a
fantasy game can be awarded points. In the future, it may be used
as part of the tie-breakers.
Added Player Scoring History Report to view the fantasy scores for the
players on each team for all of the past weeks.
Added NFL scores to the NFL Schedule/Score reports.
Updated the Player information for all players that weren't assigned to
an NFL team or that were still listed on the incorrect NFL team.
Added Team Scoring statistics as on option for the Scoring Breakdown
Report for those that use head to head scoring bonuses.
Also started adding detail to the Rotisserie Scoring Breakdown report.
Fixed bug on the Player Stats report that printed garbage for players
that weren't assigned to an NFL team.
-------------------------------------------
1994 Edition, Version "I" - October 2, 1994
-------------------------------------------
This release is mainly a bug fix for some of the features that were added
recently and weren't working quite right. It also includes an update
to the player database, so all NFL Players should be listed on their
proper teams now.
Fixed a Team QB bug by updating players and the teams they are on. Now
the Team QB score totals should add up to the proper totals each week.
Also fixed a Team QB bug that would randomly cause them to be listed as
"Consolidated" on the player selection screens.
Fixed a bug with Kitty Transactions and Multiple Leagues. Now when you
load a new league file the kitty entries will also load properly.
Also Finalized the Kitty Transaction function so you can assign a value
to each type of player transaction automatically. In addition, you
can delete Kitty Transactions by entering a $0.00 for the Value.
Added an option to list player transactions for just the current week.
Cleaned up the Scoring Breakdown Report.
Fixed a bug in the Player Performance Report for Kickers that scored a
field goal but didn't score any extra points.
Fixed a bug with scoring for Defensive Points Against vs. Points Allowed
(for Kick/Punt/Interception/Fumble Return TDs). These points should
score properly according to the setting on the Miscellaneous screen.
Finalized the NFL Player Transaction Report.
----------------------------------------------
1994 Edition, Version "H" - September 18, 1994
----------------------------------------------
Added a Team Summary report that lists all team names along with team
owner information.
Added an option to the Scoring Breakdown report to include detailed stats.
Added an option to the Scoring Breakdown to include only starters.
Added indication of BYE week players on Scoring Breakdown report.
Added NFL Team Abbreviations to the Player Stats report.
Added Kitty Management function and summary report.
Added Commissioner Notes function and report.
Added an option to resolve ties in the team scoring categories.
Also fixed the team scoring categories so they properly add the scores
to the opponent's "points against" value.
----------------------------------------------
1994 Edition, Version "G" - September 10, 1994
----------------------------------------------
Updated Player Performance and Player Stats reports to reflect 2-point
conversion scoring.
Fixed a bug with the Special Teams/Team Defense Scoring. They were being
combined by accident. Now you have the option of whether or not you
want to combine Special Teams with Team Defense.
Fixed a bug with the Manually Added Players. They kept getting assigned to
the Green Bay Packers with Version "F". Now they will stay assigned to
the proper team, and you can edit players that were manually added.
Fixed a bug with the Formula Scoring Method. It didn't work properly if the
Basic Qty was greater than 0, and the Bonus Qty was also greater than 0.
Fixed a bug with the Total Points and Total Points plus Head to Head type
of competition. The Weekly Results did not reflect the proper scores
under most circumstances.
---------------------------------------------
1994 Edition, Version "F" - September 5, 1994
---------------------------------------------
The Manual wasn't updated with this release, so FFLM.DOC still says Ver. "C"
Added the Player Consolidation Function, so any players that you manually
added to the FFLM player database during your draft can be matched up
with new or existing players in the FFLM database, and the stats can
be credited to the proper players.
Fixed a bug with the Team QB starters. They wouldn't save properly when you
exited the program, but now they do.
Fixed some of the reports for use with Total Points Competition Style.
Rotisserie Style Reports still need to be completed.
-------------------------------------------
1994 Edition, Version "E" - August 28, 1994
-------------------------------------------
The Manual wasn't updated with this release, so FFLM.DOC still says Ver. "C"
Prepared for the 1994 Stats Updates by including a blank 1994 stats file and
a new historical 1993 stats file. These new files must replace the old
STATS93.FF and STATS94.FF files if you are updating your copy of FFLM
from a previous 1994 Edition release.
Added a Manual Score feature: This allows you to enter any score for any
reason, in case you have a rule in your league that FFLM does not support.
You can enter a score for an individual player, or for a team as a whole.
For those of you that requested changes and/or additions to FFLM, please
look carefully at this option. It should provide you with a good method
of keeping accurate scores until your requested feature is added to FFLM.
Added a Minimum and Maximum allowable number of Starters at each position.
Now you have total flexibility of how many players to start at each
position, and FFLM will warn you when the number of starters is not
within the limits that you set up on the Setup/Position screen.
Added an Options Screen for the Player Stats Report. Now you can select how
many weeks of stats you want, so you can analyze the entire year or just a
selected number of weeks to see "who's hot and who's not."
Added the ability to combine the Weekly Scores and Standings reports. Also
added an option to list the fantasy team names on the Standings report.
Finished support for Team Quarterbacks. By selecting "Yes" for Team QBs in
the Positions Setup Screen, FFLM will generate stats for Team QBs every
week. This works fine, but it takes more processing time to switch from
week to week. Therefore, if you do not use the concept of "Team QBs" in
your league, be sure to leave this option off.
Started Adding support for a League Kitty Management function.
Started Adding support for a Commissioner Notes function.
Fixed a bug in the 1993 Stats that was giving some players credit for an NFL
Touchdown of -1 yards on a Kickoff Return. There were about 10 instances
of this in the 1993 Stats that came about when the stats were converted
from the 1993 version of FFLM. All of these bad stats were fixed.
-------------------------------------------
1994 Edition, Version "D" - August 16, 1994
-------------------------------------------
The Manual wasn't updated with this release, so FFLM.DOC still says Ver. "C"
Updated NFL rosters to reflect latest NFL trades and transactions.
Changed the Team Screen so you have the ability to Assign a Division to a
Team instead of having FFLM automatically assign a Team to a Division.
Added the Total Yardage Scoring Definition Screen so you can select what
types of offensive yardage (Passing, Rushing, Receiving) should be
applied towards the Total Yardage for a given player position. You
can even keep track of Total Field Goal yardage for a Kicker now.
Updated the Draft Screen with a Draft Timer that keeps track of the time
it takes for each draft pick.
Added the ability to Skip a Draft Pick (with the [F5] key) in case someone
doesn't make their pick on time! You can just skip the pick and come
back to it later.
Optimized the Head To Head/Rotisserie Scoring, so you should notice a speed
increase when calculating scores, especially if you have a slow computer.
Fixed a bug in the team scoring that caused FFLM to beep like crazy when it
calculated the Team Scores. The bug didn't cause any problems, but the
noise could have driven you nuts when FFLM was calculating the scores...
------------------------------------------
1994 Edition, Version "C" - August 7, 1994
------------------------------------------
Updated all Player information to reflect 1994 NFL Rosters!
Rewrote the entire NFL Player database functions to allow for much more
Player info and flexibility in future versions.
Added the ability to Add Players to the FFLM database in case any active
NFL players are missing from the list of available players.
Added a Visual Display of the Number of Draft Picks at each Position for
each Fantasy Team while in the Draft Player function.
Added a PreDraft List Worksheet - Use it on Draft Day to keep track of each
Draft Pick as it is made if you don't have access to FFLM at your draft.
Added a Draft Summary Report to list all of the Player Picks in your Draft
after all of the picking is completed.
Fixed a bug in the scoring for Number of Passes/Attempts/Receptions/Rushes.
Added a Rookie List under the NFL Roster submenu to help you analyze and
be aware of the NFL rookies that may have some potential.
Finished the Total Points competition style format, so all of the reports
reflect that type of competition if it is selected.
Expanded the "About" function to include the ability to easily view the
README.1ST file from within the program.
Added a "Coming Soon" section to let everybody know what is planned for
future releases of FFLM...
-------------------------------------
Preseason Version "B" - July 18, 1994
-------------------------------------
Added "What's New" option to menu so you can view this file from within FFLM.
Added 2-point scoring definition to Offensive Players Screen.
Added Total Points and Rotisserie Style Competition as options in addition
to Head to Head Competition.
Added Scoring Definition Screen for Team Scoring bonuses.
Added Scoring Definition Screen for Rotisserie Style scoring.
Added Scoring Definition Screen for Miscellaneous scoring.
None of these scoring definition screens are completely finished yet.
They will be completed in the next release.
Added Transaction Fee Screen (not completely functional yet).
Fixed all of the FFL Info reports so they print player names properly.
Added ability to sort Player Stats by whatever criteria you choose.
Added 1994 NFL Preseason Schedules to the menu.
Added FFLM.DOC file with full instructions to replace README file!
Optimized memory usage - now FFLM uses 50K less memory.
