About Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when
exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that
may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures
or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these
"photosensitive epileptic seizures" while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms including:
lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking
of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of
awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or
convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby
objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of
these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the
above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to
experience these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting
farther from the television screen, using a smaller television screen,
playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when you are drowsy or
fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy,
consult a doctor before playing.
Other Important Health and Safety Information.
The Xbox Instruction Manual contains important safety and health
information that you should read and understand before using this
software
Avoid Damage to Your Television
Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or
rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox
games, are played on them. Static images presented during the normal
course of game play may "burn in" to the screen, causing a permanent
shadow of the static image to appear at all times, even when video games
are not being played. Similar damage may occur from static images
created when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult your
television owner's manual to determine if video games can be safely
played safely on your set. If you are unable to find this information in the
owner's manual, contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to
determine if video games can be played safely on your set.
Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public
performance, rental, pay for play, or circumvention of copy protection is
strictly prohibited.

  • Page 10 Manager’s Tip: Situational Hitting Got a runner on first that you’d like to move over to third Then try hitting the ball to right field. It will be a long throw for the outfielder to make and if your runner has the speed he can beat the throw.

Your fielders will be in good position to cut down the runner from third or hold him there, but they’ll give up lateral movement, making a well-hit grounder more likely to get through for a base hit.
  • Page 17 OUTFIELD Normal - The default outfield position. Shallow - With the winning run at third and less than two outs, bring the outfielders in. That way, they have a better shot at making the play at home on shallow fly balls or soft liners. Deep - When you have a power hitter up at the plate, play your defenders back.

    Manager’s Tip: Pitching to your fielding alignment Ok, you’ve got a right-handed hitter up and you’re cheating your outfielders to the left hoping he’ll pull the ball. Make sure you pitch him inside. If you give him a ball on the outer half of the plate, he can go the other way and hit it where your fielders aren’t.
