EXAMPLE SITUATION

GAMEPLAY OUTLINE AND EXPLANATION

Once you have downloaded the free application and chosen your position (which can be changed at any point in time), it is time to play the game! Each round consists of thirty seconds where plays like the example to the left are given to you. Your job, is to click on the gray box, representing the base that you believe the ball showed be thrown to based on the situation presented. Upon completion of the thirty seconds, a review screen will appear to show you three scores:

1. % Correct- The % correct in that round

2. Average Response Time- How long it took for you to answer each question on average.

3. Accuracy %- This number is the intersection point between the above numbers, calculating a mixture of your speed and your accuracy.

Also in this review screen will be your overall statistics (# of questions answered, etc) and the ability to go back and look at your correct or incorrect answers, AND the correct base for the ones you answered wrong.
