Q: Is
there anything I need to install to play?
A: If you
have the Microsoft Silverlight plug-in already installed in your browser there
is no need to install anything. Once you try to “join” a game the game will
detect if you have Silverlight installed and prompt you to install it. If you
are having any issues go to this link to detect if you have Silverlight
installed correctly:

Q:
Can I play on my iPad?
A: You can view
your stats, standings, leaders and box scores as well as change your Manager
profile. Apple has decided to block Silverlight and other browser plug-ins
such as Flash so you can’t play a game on your iPad unless you use the
Splashtop Remote Desktop App. Apple does not block Silverlight on the Apple Mac
so you can play on your Apple Mac.
Q: How
close of an experience is playing the Online version to the original Board
version?
A: DYNASTY
League Baseball Online is a direct translation of the DYNASTY League Baseball
Board game. The default settings give you a transparent view into how the play
results are derived by allowing you to see the player card results, dice rolls
and sections of the game charts.
Q: Where
can I purchase the DYNASTY League Baseball Board version and season player card
sets?
A: The Ticket
Window at https://www.designdepot.com/products.html has the DYNASTY League Baseball Board game
version.
Q:
How many days off are there between the Regular season and LCS?
A: In the automated playoffs, there are 2
rest days between the regular season and the playoffs.
Q:
What is the difference for Commissioners in choosing between custom and
standard automated playoffs?
A:
Custom playoffs do not have automatic advancement of winners like the standard
automated playoffs do --you have to set up the new series once the old series
are done. Custom playoffs do allow you to control exactly who is playing,
how many games in the series, night and day games, how many rest-days between
series and things like that. There is a "create custom playoff
series" button on the commissioner page.
You'll just want to make sure you pay attention to the Last Played Date of the
teams you are scheduling, as this is an internal date that wasn't exposed
before. This will allow you to set up the first day of the playoffs with
the right number of off days. Things are set up internally so that the
playoffs begin on Oct 1. The last regular season game is set to be Sept. 28th
so that teams have 2 days off before the playoffs. You can obviously
choose to keep Oct 1 as your start date or use a different date.
Once caveat--custom playoffs don't currently have a way to add regular-season
tie-breakers, so you will have to use 1-game playoff tie-breakers if you use
them. If you use the standard playoffs, they will use regular-season
tiebreakers like MLB where the games count as regular-season games.
The custom playoffs will treat them like the 1-game wild-card playoff games.
Q: How
does the league scheduler keep your league always on time and impossible to
have players lag behind getting games played or stats and standings updated?
A: MLB.com blog:
