Steps to create a computer manager:

Update your SP, Setup men, Closers, batters and manager tendencies. Be sure to select NEVER for your Starting pitchers so that the computer will not use them in relief. Also fill out the scheduled starters section for the up-coming block.

Double click on individual pitchers and batters to specify their Player Settings if desired.

Then select TEAM -> UPDATE DEFAULT LINEUPS.
Create preset lineups vs. left hand starters and right hand starters.
Select OK.
Select Export General Manager. Name your computer manager file.

Using email, send this file to the Commissioner.
Once the Commissioner has received all of the computer manager files he will send out the PLAY BALL FILE.

Set-up for game play:

STEPS:
Select FILE->NEW SCHEDULED while the 1962 HARDCORE League is highlighted.

Series/Block Notes Before You Start:
Each General Manager should keep in mind the following notes when starting to play any series.

Notes:
No team may not use the "quick play" to play his games.
The Visiting team may not use the "computer vs. computer" mode to play his games. Only the commissioner has this option when simulating games due to missed deadlines or GM vacations.
The Visiting team is not allowed to make any managerial decisions for the Home team.
Each "Play Result" is final unless both parties agree to delete the last play.

End of the game Instructions:
At the conclusion of a league game, each General Manager should follow the instructions listed below.

Steps:
Select GET BOXSCORE. Click OK. Select End Game.

Sending Block Results to the Commissioner:
After a General Manager has completed a series, he must zip the "game result files" into a single file to send to the Commissioner.

Steps:
Before each series make sure your c:\cdrombb\export directory is empty.
At the conclusion of your block create a zip file containing the files located in your export directory. There should be two files for each game played (one for the home and one for the road team).
Using email send this zip file to the Commissioner.

Sending Boxscore files:
Each General Manager after each completed series is responsible for sending their boxscore files to the Commissioner.

Steps:
Before each series make sure your c:\cdrombb\print\1962hl directory is empty.
Create a zip file containing all the boxscores saved for any given block completed.
Using email send this zip file to the Commissioner.

You can combine both the game results and print files in one zipped file.

One last word from the commissioner:
Make sure to follow these instructions in their entirety in order to prevent a possible problem.
Make sure for each and every game that the "Create Game Results File" is selected.
Make sure to properly name your files to assist your commissioner and to prevent confusion.
Make sure that after every series your export and print directories are emptied. PLAY HONEST, USE GOOD JUDGEMENT and if you have any questions, please ask.
