Actually, if I draft Derek Jeter it will just be on all channels.

Madduxi? 8-)
It would actually just be Maddi.

For sure, but if you were going with the mode of pluralization that BRL was going with then it would be Maddi not Madduxi.

So once the teams are drafted it will be bracket style tournament, but will each matchup be a single game or a 7 game series?

If I draft enough Yankees it will be on Fox.
That was good.

The current one? Or the previous one?

Seven game series. 2-2-1-1-1 format. I'm thinking we'll give each team one opportunity (throughout the whole tournament, not per series) to start a pitcher with only two games between starts, otherwise you have to wait three to start a guy again (if that makes sense). Rotations can be reset at the start of each new round, regardless of how long your previous series went.

Opinions? Suggestions?

After each game we'll give both teams a window of time to submit their starter and any line up changes for the next game. If they don't submit one in time, their line up stays the same, and whomever the next highest drafted starter they have available will be given the start.

I can't figure out a way to toggle the DH option for Dream Teams on the site, so pitchers will be hitting unless I can find a way to change it. If I can change it, we'll let the home team decide.

Since you submit just one season for each dude you pick, 2005 Dontrelle Willis is actually a pretty credible pick.

And just to be clear we don't have to declare the seasons for each player until after the draft is done, right?
