never really played RBI 2 but I played alot of RBI 3 (which is basically the same just updated rosters).

Does a tie go to the person who (1) had fewer runs given to the enemy and (2) mercy win at an earlier inning?

The Kabuki: Quantum Fighter contest is now live. As always, RBI Baseball will not end early and still finishes up at 11 PM NA time tonight. So, if you're tired of your team always striking out or if you've been banned from the majors for using more drugs than Barry Bonds and Jose Canseco combined, come have a hair-raising good time with Kabuki: Quantum Fighter.

Thinking I better try one of the All-American teams since everyone else is. I was just picking random teams and seemed to do the best with Detroit.

21 points! That was my best game. I got lucky when I was pitching, and I scored a lot after three kinda crappy innings

This was my first attempt for the week, just kind of messing around.  After about 20-30 more tries I couldn't do any better.  This has been the most frustrating game of this contest for me because good games seemed so close.

In my opinion, an earlier win and a "cleaner" win should both outrank a later win or a win with more scoring from the opponent... thoughts?

They should have named this Foul Ball Simulator lol. Still a fun, simple baseball game though. My copy won't stay functional long enough for a full game.

Score updated, thanks to a Donny Baseball grand slam. I love this game. Really wanted to break +20 but couldn't get it done this time. Side note- Gotta new/old TV for $20 bucks on craigslist and I'm in absolute heaven. The picture quality is awesome, standard definition at its finest! Although you can't tell because when I upload a picture of my screen to NA it gets compressed and looks like ass.

Thanks! I played and played and played and finally got that one lucky epic run. I won't be repeating it with Kabuki. I really like it but man it's eating my lunch right now.

Damn! I almost forgot to submit mine.  Gotta keep the streak of participation points going.

Ugh, this is embarrassing since I used to play this game so much as a kid. I really do wish I could have gotten a few more attempts in. I know I could have certainly gotten double digits.

+3

I could see fewest allowed runs to also be the tiebreaker
(though in both sets of ties, it doesn't matter since the tie-sharer with fewest innings also has 0 allowed runs)

True,but I look at as X person won 10-0 in 4 innings,Y person also won by the same total but only took them 3. Y person gets the nod since they completed the game faster.
