Special Event Options

When a scheduled game completes, Digital Diamond Baseball examines the boxscore to determine if the game should be flagged as containing one or more special events (see Special Events for more details).   The Special Event Options dialog lets you control which events will considered when flagging a completed boxscore.  You can access this dialog using the Options->Special Events Options menu item.

 

The Special Event Options dialog allows you to select and configure a large set of events.  These events are described in detail below:
