 TEAM SEASON INSTRUCTIONS SETS:

 Along with this newsletter, you will 
 find a set of the following 
 instruction files for each team:

 1) INSTRUCT.Txx
 2) PITCHING.Txx
 3) INACTIVE.Txx

 NOTE: The xx is the two digit IRBL 
 team number.
 ......................................
 Prior to each series, print (or view 
 in a separate window) the road team's 
 PITCHING, INACTIVE and INSTRUCT files 
 to be sure you are using the latest 
 instructions. If you have a problem 
 printing from the IRBL Menu Program, 
 you can open and print the files using 
 the Windows EDIT, Notepad or Wordpad 
 programs (but you may have to adjust 
 the margins and character size). The 
 latest team computer manager profiles 
 will always be pre-loaded into the 
 IRBL DMB player files whenever you 
 install the latest LRD.

 MISSING TEAM INSTRUCTIONS:

 DEVIL RAYS

 When I receive the DEVIL RAYS' 
 instructions sets, I will post a 
 special LRD that will install them 
 into the IRBL DMB player files.

 If receiving the DEVIL RAYS 
 instructions late causes you to submit 
 a played series late, let me know and 
 I will void the late series penalty 
 (LSP).

 I have included an updated IRBL 
 Manager Address List.
 ......................................
 REMINDER ABOUT INSTALLING AN IRBL LRD:

 Whenever you install an IRBL LRD 
 during the season, it will replace the 
 IRBL DMB player files with the latest 
 files from the Official League Office 
 files. Please be sure that you have 
 completed preparing and have emailed 
 to the League Office all played series 
 (the series ZIP file) (and if you made 
 any changes to your team's computer 
 manager profile, be sure you have 
 exported and sent the League Office an 
 updated instructions ZIP file) prior 
 to installing the LRD because it will 
 erase everything in the IRBL DMB 
 player files.
 ......................................
 The "Late Series" penalties and 
 credits chart and series receipt 
 confirmations chart has been updated 
 for 2004 and available to be viewed at 
 the IRBL web site. You should also use 
 that web page to confirm that your 
 submitted series was received (every 
 series receipt date is noted in the 
 chart at the bottom of that web page). 
 Please use this chart instead of 
 asking me to confirm via email that I 
 received your series.
