Thanks! It sounds like you've got a fun weekend planned, so hopefully I can sleep easy without the fear of waking up to see that I got blown out by a 25-0 score.





25-0 score update coming. Mwhahaha!

I'm pretty sure that you have 2nd place on the overall leaderboard locked up, so feel free to take a break this weekend.

The lone guide over at GameFAQs has a suggested lineup, but I personally found it to be loaded with power hitters that are extremely slow and not very balanced. I posted a scan from the manual on the first page that lists the top 10 players by individual attributes, but I'm not sure that's entirely accurate either. It's a decent guide though if you are looking for a solid power hitter, runner, fielder, etc. for a specific position.

What about if the tie happens to end in the same inning?

Example: why am I ranked higher than the other scores of 5?

Most runs scored is the second tiebreaker. You had 12 total so that put you ahead of the other two 5 run scores.

Most points/runs scored is usually the tiebreaker when it comes to sports games. There haven't been many scores submitted yet, but it will be interesting to see what happens if two or more people post 10-0 scores in the same inning due to the mercy rule.

Ironic thing about the contest this week is I coach a fastpitch softball team and was at tournaments last weekend and this weekend with 2 games during this week as well. I had no time to play softball because of softball

How did your other team do?

Making the quarterfinals of a national qualifying tournament still sounds pretty good!

Definitely a big accomplishment my team is a mid level B class team , so winning at these tournaments is very rewarding for the kids, also we have a second team in the same age group that went 3-2 for the weekend and lost in the semifinal and a younger team that won 3 games

I think your best real live game should count as your score submission this week.

Well, I haven't had a lot of time to play, but I did manage a 14-2 win...but then noticed in my picture that I forgot to put my name card up. Oh well, on to Puzznic!
