#9- HR 1-8
fly(rf)B 9-20

does this mean a roll of 9 is:
- the ballpark result or
1-8 is ballpark result and 9-20 is a fly out B or something else

Thanks

A roll of 9 would be followed by a roll of the 20-sided die. You would ignore the 1-8, and instead refer to the appropriate home run number for the ballpark.

I think the roll of 9 is followed by the 20 sided die and then another 20 sided die if the first roll was 8 or under.

No, jjii66 is correct. Any reading preceded by # or > may as well be erased. All that matters is the #, which refers you to the ballpark effects.

# -- Ballpark home run reading. An additional roll determines whether there is a home run or a flyout. Obviously, the probability varies by ballpark and whether the hitter is lefthanded or righthanded. The original result listed is ignored -- in effect, the result will be determined by "rolling against" the ballpark's home run rating (a random number from 1-20). If the number rolled is equal to or lower than the ballpark's rating for a left- or righthanded hitter, it is a home run.

This example is in the sample card shown:

#7- HR 1-17
fly(rf)B 18-20

The key is "The original result listed is ignored--"

Yes, that's the way it works. Ignore the number shown on the card & use the BPHR number.

Thanks everyone!!

In the particular example given don't you first need a die roll to determine whether you have a BPHR possibility as opposed to a Fly? All the comments as to how BP rolls work are correct but you don't have a BPHR situation in the first place if the 1st roll is 9 or above.

# is a always a BPHR situation, it does not matter what's after the #.

So what is the difference between #10 and #11 on this hitter card? I think you're suggesting that #11 is executed the same way that #10 is executed. Why would they write them differently then?

#10- HOMERUN
#11- HR 1-11
fly(lf)B 12-20
