Does it effect my game? A little. It takes me a while to get used to reading the scoreboard to anticipate a bonus, or double bonus, situation. A dark uniformed player fouls a white uniformed player and the home team on the scoreboard has a foul added to its total. In fact I just screwed up typing this and originally typed visiting team in the previous sentence, and had to retype it. Weird. Odd. It's like that the whole game.

Maybe you should work those games only on "opposite day"?

Does "Opposite Day" occur in the Bizarro World? According to Jerry Seinfeld, the bizaroos were a group of beings invented by DC Comics starring Superman and Batman. Bizaroos are opposites, they see bad as good and good as bad. Bizaroo Batman has a useless utility belt rather than a fully functional one like Batman. Bizarro Superman is Superman's exact opposite, who lives in the backwards Bizarro World. Up is Down. Down is Up. He says "Hello" when he leaves, "Good bye" when he arrives.
