Commissioner Features

League Setup -- Setup one or more leagues. Choose the scoring system, roster rules, salary cap, prize pot formula, and important dates used by each of your fantasy leagues (trade deadline, roster expansion, etc.). There are 3 methods for computing team point scores: Rotisserie, Proportional Rotisserie, or Fantasy Points. Your teams can be ranked by Total Points or your standings can be based on Head-to-Head game results. 

Formula Builder -- Define your own user-defined stat formulas. This is a useful feature for leagues that use sabermetric stat categories in their scoring systems or wish to see customized ratings on their stat reports.

Scoring Options -- Choose which stat categories to track for scoring purposes, and which stats to display on screens and reports. Pick from over 100 built-in stat categories as well as your own user-defined statistics. The flexibility is great for leagues that have advanced beyond the standard 8 Rotisserie stats and wish to track stats such as On-Base Average, Runs Scored, OPS, Fielding Ratio, Strikeouts, Quality Starts, Win/Loss%, and so forth.

Position Eligibility -- Specify pre-draft and in-season position eligibility rules for fantasy league players.

Scheduler -- For head-to-head fantasy leagues, let Rhino Baseball automatically generate the schedule of weekly games for your 8, 10, 12, 14, or 16 team league. Also supports leagues that play multiple opponents each week (e.g. 4 weekly games against 4 different teams).  

Roster Builder -- Quickly build your post-draft fantasy team rosters using simple drag & drop.

Import Stat Files -- Quickly import batting, pitching, games-by-position, or fielding stat files into your relational database. Rhino Baseball can handle most types of Text (.TXT) or DBase 2 or 3 (.DBF) files that you download from a web site or online bulletin board. Use our weekly Rhino Stats Service for best results. 

Stat File Layouts -- Stat file layouts for the Rhino Stats Service have been preloaded into your database. Should you get weekly stat files from another service (such as TQ Stats) you can use the Stat File Layouts window to specify the format and structure of those files so that Rhino Baseball can import them.

Player Maintenance -- Quickly record roster moves for all fantasy players and update their position, salary, and contract status. Adjust settings for major league players such as team, age, bats/throws, estimated playing time, projected role, forecast method, and even include pre-draft comments.

Transaction Reports -- View and print the Disabled List, Waiver Wire, and Free Agent Pickup reports for your league.

Transaction Log -- View the log of roster transactions for your league, and quickly fix any transaction errors that you might have made. Filter the transaction log to show moves for a specified date range or focus only on certain types of moves (trades, options, waives, or DL moves).

Roster Validation -- Let Rhino Baseball automatically check your rosters to ensure that the number of active players, positions filled, salary totals, FAB balances, etc., are within legal limits based on your league's rules.

Rosters -- View, save, and print neatly organized fantasy team rosters. Salary and contract status, bats/throws, and age are shown for each player. Running totals such as the combined salary total of all active players, FAB balance, and number of free agent picks left are displayed for each fantasy team. Printed rosters can display up to 4 teams side-by-side on one sheet of paper.

Free Agent List -- View and print a report listing all the players in your fantasy league's free agent pool. Rhino Baseball automatically refreshes your free agent list in a matter of seconds each time you access it, which saves you from having to maintain it by hand.

Transaction Fees -- Assign fees to each type of roster transaction, and allow Rhino Baseball to calculate fantasy team expenses and prize pot distributions.

Player Stats -- Analyze batting, pitching, games-by-position, and fielding stats for both major league and fantasy players. View Year-to-Date stats amassed since the start of the regular season, or Period-to-Date stats accumulated over a date range. View results for over 100 built-in statistics, including your own user-defined stat formulas. View the Top-30 leaders (or Bottom-30 trailers) in any selected stat category. 

Team Stats/Scores -- Calculate your fantasy team stats, point scores, and standings at the click of a button. You can calculate and view Year-to-Date, Weekly, Biweekly, or Monthly fantasy team stats. And you can even compute team stats & point standings for your own chosen period of weeks, which is perfect for leagues that hold fantasy playoffs during the month of September.   

Team Stats & Points Analyzer -- Analyze your league's stat categories to see both weekly & full-season statistical averages and stat goals to aim for. Identify which stat categories are the easiest and hardest to improve in. Compare the strengths and weaknesses of fantasy teams in core areas such as overall batting ability, power, speed, pitching control (ERA & WHIP), and pitching decisions (Wins & Saves).

Point Changes -- Compare point scores from any 2 stat periods to see how many points every fantasy team gained or lost over that given time span.

Team Graphs -- View trend graphs that compare point scores over time for a chosen group of fantasy teams. Point Scores can be compared for any group of teams, series of dates, and any single scoring category (including Total Points).

Save Reports -- Use the program's Save Report function to save full-color snapshots of your stats, graphs, point scores, rosters, transactions, and more in PSR format. Or use the Save File function to save your data in HTML web page format. 

Auto Report Maker -- Let Rhino Baseball generate up to 30 of the most common weekly reports (such as team stats, point scores, rosters, transaction log, waiver wire, player stats, etc.) at the click of a button. This is a huge timesaver for the busy fantasy league commissioner!

Report Zipping -- Use our integrated WinZip archiving feature to create a ready-to-email ZIP file containing your recently saved PSR reports.

Rhino Viewer -- Send PSR reports that you've saved in Rhino Baseball to other members of your league using your e-mail program. Those people can use the Rhino Viewer program to view, search, sort, filter, print, and manipulate data in the reports. The Rhino Viewer software comes bundled with all versions of Rhino Baseball and is available to your league members free of charge (it can be download from a password-protected area of our web site). Why mail out costly printed reports or upload bland, read-only reports to your league's web site when you can e-mail the PSR reports for free and use the Rhino Viewer to analyze your statistical data any way you want? Once you & your league mates get hooked on using Rhino Viewer, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it!  

Links Page Creator -- If you choose to work with HTML web pages instead of PSR reports, you can use the Links Page Creator to generate a web page containing hypertext links to the set of weekly web reports that you saved. This is a fast way to create a simple index page for your league's private web site.

Mass Change -- Use the Mass Change/Delete function to delete old sets of stats, ratings, and transactions, reset fantasy team balances, and roll player contracts forward for the upcoming season.

Data Loader -- Load data files that you've downloaded from the Rhino Software web site directly into your database. Free data files containing updated Major League Player info are periodically posted in the Baseball Stats Center which is available to users of the Rhino Stats Service. So during Spring Training when you're trying to prepare your database for the upcoming season, you don't need to waste your valuable time tracking down all the off-season player moves and updating your database by hand. The Data Loader function lets you import the necessary data files into your database quickly and easily.

Database Backup -- Safely create a backup copy of your current Rhino Baseball database to a backup folder on your PC using the built-in Database Backup function.
