2015 All-Time Franchise Tournament: WHITE SOX WIN!

[E.H. Ruddock]

Decades: Each participant gets a different decade and can build his team from any season from said decade.

I could see this causing problems. There are only a few of us on the board that understand that a decade is year 1 through 0, not 0 through 9.

I would have guessed the 80s were 1980 through 1989. You're saying that,s wrong?

Yes. Technically the 80's is 1981 through 1990, as the calendar goes. I know most won't believe me, but look it up.

from merriam webster's definition of a decade:

a period of 10 years; especially : a 10-year period beginning with a year ending in 0

[spike]

but i understand your logic:

Because the common calendar starts with year 1, its first full decade is the years 1 to 10, the second decade from 11 to 20, and so on. So although the "1960s" comprises the years 1960 to 1969, the "197th decade" spans 1961 to 1970. A decade may also refer to an arbitrary span of 10 years.

but when talking about a decade as an era, it's common accepted practice to start with the year ending in zero, so that's what would apply in this case.

[philpritchard]

The logic makes sense, but the year 1970 is not part of the 1960's because... I mean... seriously? This doesn't need any more discussion, does it?

Dumb people should use ET and be done with it. This is a big pet peeve of mine too.

No, a decade is simply a block of ten years. Where you start is completely arbitrary.
