Can I use a newer version of the MBD with an older version of BLS or BTM?

No, you can’t.

If you try to use a newer Master Bowler Database (MBD) with an older version of BLS or BTM, it won’t work right. That’s because the newer MBD might have changes or new features that the older software doesn’t understand. The older programs simply aren’t built to handle those updates.

To be safe, always make sure your version of BLS or BTM matches the version of the MBD you’re using. This helps everything work smoothly together.
