Baseball Update.
Posted: Wed Jan 15, 2003 3:00 pm
Hi everyone.
I've decided to go through all the Baseball games, so that we can adjust them to the new rules we voted for last year. These rules are:
1. Play a whole match of 9+ innings (when possible), no matter how many credits that takes.
2. New scoring system. 100 for a win + points difference.
3. That we stop the game when its stopped by the Mercy Rule, and you can't continue.
Let me warn all the players who have recordings for Baseball games at MARP, that all recordings where the player didn't play a whole match, will be deleted. There is no way we can score recordings where only one or two innings was played. I'll mail all players when I delete one of their recordings. If you don't want to get these mails all the time, let me know, and I'll stop sending them to you.
If you don't have an E-mail address here at MARP, and you are into Baseball games, watch this thread carefully. Here I'll let you know when I'm done checking a game, and let you know what type of game it is. Those four types of Baseball games is following shortly. You can then go back to this first post, and check out the new rules for that particular game. This is very important as with many games, I'll probably have to delete all recordings, and you can't see the Special Rules for a game, before the first upload is done for that game.
1) Games without Mercy Rule that allow to continue:
Baseball games are now to be played as a real full baseball game. 9 innings must be played. If the home team is ahead at the completion of the first half (the top) of the 9th inning, the game must end. If the home team, batting in the bottom of the ninth makes a play that puts them ahead then the game ends after that play. If both teams are tied at the
completion of the 9th inning, innings must be played until one team has won the last inning as if it were the 9th. If the game doesn't continue after a draw after the ninth inning, you must start a new game. Play this game until either you or the computer have a lead after an inning as if it were the 9th. If you are in the lead, add it to the first draw game, and press ESC to finish the game. If the computer gets the lead after an inning, you've lost the game, and will get a score of zero.
Scoring is applied the final score of the game. No points are given for losing the 9+ inning game. 100 points are given for winning plus the difference in the winning and losing score. I.e. a 10-3 game will have a MARP score of 107, provide you scored the 10 runs.
2) Games with Mercy Rule where you can't continue:
In this Baseball game the Mercy Rule was included, meaning that you win the match when you get a 10+ points lead during the match. You can only upload your recording if you are the winner by Mercy Rule. If that's so, your final score is:
100 + point difference
Ex. 1: You win after the third inning by Mercy Rule with a lead of 13-2. You final score is 100 + 11 = 111
Ex. 2: You play a whole match and win by 10-3, your final score is 100 + 7 = 107.
If you lose the Match, your recording can't be uploaded.
Please remember that we now play a whole game of 9+ innings. So if you shouldn't win by Mercy Rule during the match an its a draw after 9 innings, please follow these rules:
Baseball games are now to be played as a real full baseball game. 9 innings must be played. If the home team is ahead at the completion of the first half (the top) of the 9th inning, the game must end. If the home team, batting in the bottom of the ninth makes a play that puts them ahead then the game ends after that play. If both teams are tied at the

If you are in the lead, add it to the first draw game, and press ESC to finish the game. If the computer gets the lead after an inning, you've lost the game, and will get a score of zero.
3) Games with Mercy Rule where you can continue:
In this Baseball game the Mercy Rule was included, meaning that you win the match when you get a 10+ points lead during the match. However in this game, you can continue the game by inserting another coin. Therefore we'll play a whole game of 9+ innings no matter how many
credits it takes.

4) Games that stops as soon as the computer gets the lead:
In this Baseball game the match ends as soon as the computer gets the lead. If you manage to win the match then your final score would be 100 + point difference.
Ex: You win the match 10-3. Your final score is 100 + 7 = 107.
Another thing when you manage to play a whole match: Baseball games are now to be played as a real full baseball game. 9 innings must be played. If the home team is ahead at the completion of the first half (the top) of the 9th inning, the game must end. If the home team, batting in the bottom of the ninth makes a play that puts them ahead then the game
ends after that play. If both teams are tied at the completion of the 9th inning, innings must be played until one team has won the last inning as if it were the 9th. If the game doesn't continue after a draw after the ninth inning, you must start a new game. Play this game until either you or the computer have a lead after an inning as if it were the 9th. If you are in the lead, add it to the first draw game, and press ESC to finish the game.
If the computer gets the lead after an inning, you've lost the game, and will get a score of zero.
Finally, should you not be capable of winning the match, then you miss out on the 100 points for winning the match. This means that if the match is stopped after the fourth inning because the computer leads 4-6, your final score is 4 points for the four runs you made.
