Stats Fanatics allows team owners to set statistical settings geared towards the statistics they keep record of.

If your team 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.
