 IRBL Menu Program Update

 When you installed this LRD, the IRBL 
 Menu Program was updated to handle the 
 NATIONALS instead of the EXPOS and to 
 reflect the corrected schedule which 
 starts on APR 3 (instead of APR 1).

 Please exit and restart the IRBL Menu 
 Program, select menu option <5> and 
 verify that you see this new version 
 and date:

     Program version: 9.00.01
        Last update:  3-28-06

 Then verify that the listed values for 
 the Windows operating system, Hard 
 drive letter or DMB game directory 
 matches what is on your computer. If 
 not, then select options <1>, <2> or 
 <3> to change the setting to match 
 what you have.

 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 Wordpad (select "Start-
 Programs-Accessories-Wordpad"), change 
 the four margins to "0.25" (select 
 File-Page Setup) and print the file 
 (or any selected page or pages). The 
 latest team computer manager profiles 
 will always be pre-loaded into the 
 IRBL DMB player files whenever you 
 install the latest LRD.

 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 2006 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.
