The 'Default Statistical Setting' drop down let's you set the page defaults to regular season or season totals when displaying statistics.

If a sport uses pitching statistics, set the game innings length to your league or tournament's regulation game length so that a RAA or an ERA will reflect it. For example, some leagues play 7 inning games instead of 9 innings so you may want you're total runs given up to be divided by 7 instead of 9 to get a more accurate runs against average per game.

If the sport is baseball or softball and you want to change the batting, pitching, and fielding statistical settings, select the category you want to use for your site from the dropdowns. As mentioned earlier, you can even turn off pitching or fielding statistics entirely.

Once you are finished editing your statistical settings, click the 'submit changes' button to save your settings.
