Baseball Challenge 2008 is now accepting entries. If you stayed away from this free game last season for fear of winning the Grand Prize, take heart: There's no trip to the Bronx this year! The BBC links in the opening post will work for the 2008 game, as will the private group name and password. Scoring begins March 30 with the first U.S.-based game of the season, Atlanta at Washington. Prizes for BBC 2008 are gift certificate from Circuit City. | ||||||

hey, mario!!! Do they really have price updates in this game? Never played before, and the rules say price updatiing weekly at 3 ayem eastern on Monday. Hasn't happened. Also, are the changes based on totoal buys vs. sells for the repricing period, or some other eqation? Any help is appreciated. Good Luck. | ||||||

Do they really have price updates in this game? Never played before, and the rules say price updatiing weekly at 3 ayem eastern on Monday. Hasn't happened. Also, are the changes based on totoal buys vs. sells for the repricing period, or some other eqation? Any help is appreciated. Good Luck. My recollection from previous seasons is that player values changed after the first full week of each segment. (I've heard from others that this year's market values changed for the weekly scoring format but not daily scoring. Whoops.) Changes are not based on buys vs. sells; supposedly, they are based on player and pitching staff statistical performance for the previous seven days. Roster "locked" values cannot exceed $50.0M. | ||||||
