Before you begin each week, make sure you have a complete backup of the previous week.
1. Download the current week's stat file, i.e. the file NBAIBMnn.EXE, where nn is the week number.
2. Decompress the stat file it contains the HOOPSTER file.
3. Copy the HOOPSTER file into the directory containing your FAST BREAK!/FAST BREAK! Fantasy files.
4. Run FBWIN or FBFANWIN.
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 FAST BREAK!/FAST BREAK! Fantasy and then make a backup copy of your league data before you continue.
6. Post/update stats using Post.
7. Print stat summary, team total and any other reports you plan to use for the week by using Reports.
8. Enter the transactions which take effect in the current week using Trans.
9. Print a transaction list, then updated rosters and free agent lists using Reports.
10. Save the new week's updates using File.
11. Make a backup copy of the league data after exiting FAST BREAK!/FAST BREAK! Fantasy.
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 on the previous page) so that the stats will be correct. If you must make a correction after you post, you will need to run the FBFIX application.
