Display Undo Action

Use Players First Initial in Reports
Check this box to include all players first name initial in reports.

Check this box to have BallScore place descriptions for how a runner advanced to each base in all cells. To comply with MLB rules you should keep this box checked.
AutoDetect End of Game
When checked, this will allow BallScore to automatically detect when a game is over. For this to work properly you must set Normal Game Length below.
Hide extra defensive player

Show batter side of plate marker
Uncheck this box if you are not interested in left/right batter/pitcher splits.

When this box is checked BallScore will track flyball and groundball outs for both the batter and pitcher.
Show FB & GB in scoring cells
Check this box to display the FB and GB in the scoring cells. Note that you can still track them automatically even if they are not displayed.
Disable gridlines in listboxes
Checking this box will to turn off gridlines in all list boxes. When using Windows XP with a manifest file you will notice the gridlines don't scroll properly when using the arrow buttons on the scollbars. Paging will also not work properly. This is a bug in the Microsoft Common Control file which they have yet to address. If this bothers any users they can simply turn the gridlines off. Note that gridlines could always be turned off with BallStat by selecting Properties/Misc tab.
Another alternative is to leave the gridlines on and turn off smooth scrolling with Windows XP (Start/Control Panel/Display Icon/Appearance tab/Effects Button/Uncheck [Use the following transition ...]).
Printing Magnification
Change this setting if your scoresheets are not filling the entire paper when printing. The default setting is 100%. If your printed scoresheet is only using half the paper then try a setting of 200%. You may need to use a trial and error method until you locate the correct setting for your printer. You can select any setting from 1% to 500%.
