League DH Rule Not Observed

BleacherBum · 03-19-2003, 12:28 AM

I created a new Custom League, using version 5.01. Two leagues, 1 division each, 6 teams in each league. In League Setup, turned off DH for each league - "Designated Hitter = NO".

Went about my business of getting the league setup, and finally opened the season, and simmed straight to the All-Star break. Of course there were a few injuries, and trade offers to deal with along the way, but finally made it to July.

At this point, I evaluated the players on my team, and determined who was worth retaining, and where I need to start addressing weaknesses. I noticed that both my starting and backup SS had 250+ ABs. Then I started checking box scores - the first of the 2 leagues had been playing with a DH! (the other was not). Its almost as if the game assumed I wanted the AL/NL rules, where league #1 is DH, and league #2 is not.

I went back to League Setup just to be sure I didn't blow it - nope, both leagues still set to DH=NO. Also checked the league.dat file, bytes 690 and 864 are set to zero.

What happened here?

just curious, how do you know 690 and 864 represent the DH in the league.dat file
