What you'll need to do is the following:
  • Open an AIM chat room with the two owners managing, as well as any other owners who want to watch.
  • Open AIM dialogues individually with each of the two managing owners.
  • Set both teams to Human-managed
  • Announce the play-by-play in the chat room.
  • Let the two managers know that, after each play you announce, they will have 5 seconds to type a "WAIT" message, then type their instruction, such as "Steal 2nd" or "Sac Bunt"
  • Input any instructions from the managers, then run the next batter
It'd be kind of a pain, but I think it would also be a lot of fun. Good luck!
Yeah, the MBBA and the FIBB have done their All-Star Game this way forever it seems like. We don't "live manage" real games though.
