Hey Marc,
It may have something to do with the order selecting subs for the double switch with regard to the pitcher. I would submit a ticket through the Support portal on the left side of the main page. - Steve

thank you…

@Mindblanker Yes, that’s pretty much it.

There is functionality to mark yourself ‘unavailable’ for play, for those who want to do Solitaire or Replays, etc. and that’s controlled through the profile menu in the top right of the screen.

You are available by default, so unless you want to change it, you’ll be good to go.

Thanks,
Jeremy

welcome ron

@Wchatrison355 Yes.

Hey Dom,
The H&R option is based on the Steal/Allowance rating and when the H&R is allowed in the Master Game. I believe the restrictions are on page three of the Master Game insert - Instructions for using the Master Game
Addition to APBA Pro Baseball Board Game™: “The hit-and-run play may not be called if the runner on first has a steal allowance letter (SAL) of R or N. If his steal allowance letter is G, his SSN must be, without adjustment, less than 28. There is no restriction on any other steal allowance letters for the hit-and-run play.” - Steve

If you are experiencing problems using APBA 6.1 on a Win 11 PC, what type of processor are you using?

APBAGo is not compatible with APBA 6.1. APBAGo is browser-based. APBA 6.1 is a Windows Operating System program.

Thank you

They look a little worn out!

@chaneyhey Your secret is safe with me and the rest of the Internet.

We’ll take a look.

Thanks,
