When Did S** Become Single(x)?

When Did S** Become Single(x)?

I had runners on 1st and 2nd and roll of 3-6 for Francouer: DO**1-3, SI**4-20. Bases loaded!WTF!. Looks like a runscoring single to me. Is this a common action?

Yes, happens to me all the time. I don't think this online game honors the **. I have guys get thrown out from 2nd base on S**'s a lot too.

Keep in mind, it's not an online only feature. It is a feature taken from the CDROM game (which is logical when you consider the online game pretty much uses the CDROM game engine.

From the CDROM help file:

MORE BASERUNNING DECISIONS (Located in the Options/Rules/Maximum Rules dialog)

Using this option allows for more baserunning decisions because it does not follow the board game rules for baserunning. For instance, using this option you will often be asked if you wish to send a runner from first to third on a Single* or a Single** reading. In the board game Single* means a single with runners advancing one base and Single** means a single with runners advancing two bases (it is automatic in both cases, no option exists). PLEASE NOTE: This option is not included in the DOS version of the game so draft leagues which mix DOS and CD-ROM gamers should not use it.

This option also allows certain basehits to be stretched. For instance, some singles will have an option to be stretched into a double, some doubles to triples and some triples to inside the park homeruns!

Hi scorehouse,

When those results show up the runner has a chance to advance an extra base.

Correct, and it's also assumed that the ball was hit to CF if not indicated and the CF's arm is used to calculate the chance of the runner being safe trying to stretch the singel into a double.
One of the many reason's it's important not to have a noodle armed CF. :wink:
