Entries go into the player's data, the game's record, the box score, everywhere. Boom. It's all done. And the screen positions we see might even be tied to the database, meaning the drop directly changes the databases' records.
To make the steps undo-able, he'd have to buffer everything ... a linked-list-kinda thing that held the moves until verified, untying the screen position from the database ... mein Gott, it'd be almost a complete rewrite of the sub screen. OOTP10 indeed.

I believe the larger slots will help out. With the small ones it wasn't difficult to drop someone into the wrong box. All it took was the slightest mouse movement just as you were ready to drop them.
