Before you begin each week, make sure you have a complete backup of the previous week (see "Weekly Backups").1. Download the current week's stat file, i.e. the file ALIBMnn.EXE, NLIBMnn.EXE or COMIBMnn.EXE where nn is the week number (see "Downloading Instructions").
2. Decompress the stat file - it contains the HITTERS and PITCHERS file. (See "After Downloading Stats")
3. Copy the HITTERS and PITCHERS files into the directory containing your GRAND SLAM! files.
4. Run GSWIN.
5. Enter remaining/forgotten transactions that took effect last week using Trans.
If you made changes, you must save them by using File and Save. You will need to exit GRAND SLAM! and then make a backup copy of your league data before you continue.6. Post/update stats using Post (see "Post - Updating Stats").
7. Print stat summary, team total and any other reports you plan to use for the week by using Reports OR use the "Print Post Reports" menu option to do an entire set at once (see "Reports").
8. Enter the transactions which take effect in the current week using Trans (see "Transactions").
9. Print a transaction list, then updated rosters and free agent lists using Reports OR use the "Print Transaction Reports" menu option to do an entire set at once (see "Reports").
10. Save the new week's updates using File (see "FILE - Exit from GRAND SLAM!").
11. Make a backup copy of the league data after exiting GRAND SLAM!. (See "Weekly Backups")
Following the above procedures will provide your league's owners with last week's stats and the current transaction list, rosters, and free agent list. Remember, a transaction entered after a post does not accumulate stats until the next post. Any mistakes can be corrected before posting the next week stats.
CFS strongly suggests you implement the following rule to your league: "An owner has until the next stats are done to verify that transactions were correctly entered onto their roster." Should an error be found, you will need to enter it before you post the new stats (see step 5 above) so that the stats will be correct. If you must make a correction after you post, you will need to run the GSFIX application (see "GSFIX").
