Well Unfortunately its the difference between winning and losing some games-

Also bigger difference from choosing which cards-

NEV pointed out that the (*) and (**) are being overridden by the box thats checked-

I and How many others pick cards based on the (Single**) on the cards- yeah- I look for that in small ball because I want to advance runners-
Unfortunately it doesnt exist- its just on the card but not being used in the game-

Pretty big.

I agree it is huge when you base your player selection off something on the card and then find it is not used.
Back when I began I would make an effort to get hitters with gb(A)+ on their cards hitting behind * baserunners because I thought that meant the double play was changed to a hit. Then someone on boards pointed out with the level of rules we use that + symbol is ignored completely. A small thing but easily cleared up by posting on the rules page.

Most every quirk of the rules I have learned about I learned here on the boards. But what about the guy who just discovers Strat online and starts playing but does not want to put in the time to keep a watch on the boards and participate in discussions? How does he learn about these things?

The out distribution thing is a waste. Who cares if the right percentage of fly balls are credited to the right outfielder on an out that otherwise does not influence the game? An out is an out if it does not influence baserunner advancement.

Are you talking about the draft? Or are you talking about Waivers? Or are they Free Agents?

Once you create a team and give it a team name, you should move to selecting players for the draft. Do they come up for you to select for the draft?

Perhaps if you provided more detail than I am not able to pick my players.

One could conclude there are too many choices and you just get confused. Probably not correct but you get the point. What exactly is it you cannot do?
