 * I’ve got a multisite network where I’d like to set the default date format to
   be mm-dd-yyy.
    Is there some kind of way I can do that programatically in PHP?

 * Yes,there is a filter here: [https://github.com/stephenharris/Event-Organiser/blob/develop/event-organiser.php#L172](https://github.com/stephenharris/Event-Organiser/blob/develop/event-organiser.php#L172)
   which allows you to modify the setting values.
 * But that won’t help you distinguish between a ‘default value’ and one set explicitly
   by the user.
 * You could instead use a hook provided by add_option (the plugins settings are
   stored inside an array with option name eventorganiser_options) to change the
   default settings when they are initially added to the database.
