Red Mosquito

Ok, even though we're not starting until WhatIf loads the 2015 stats (which should be a few days after the regular season ends), I figure I'll start this thread now since there's a healthy amount of discussion going on about it in various other threads.

Here are the links to the previous tournaments for reference...

Some basic rules:

-Participants will pick the franchise they'd like to use. Once you pick your franchise, you can use any season that any player had playing for that franchise. Players who played for multiple franchises can be on multiple teams, but you can't use a season they had for another franchise (ex. Carlton Fisk can be on both the White Sox and Red Sox, but the White Sox can't use his 1975 season and the Red Sox can't use his 1983 season).

-You need twenty-five players to field a complete team.

-There will be no interleague play. Everyone plays everyone else in their league eight times, for a fifty-six game season. First place teams will get a bye into the LCS, while the second and third place teams will play a best-of-three series for the second spot. The LCS and World Series will both be best-of-seven.

-A pitcher needs THREE games worth of rest between starts. You will have the option to start a pitcher on two games' rest four times during the regular season. A pitcher cannot start on two games' rest in consecutive starts (he needs the full three games before he starts again). You have the option to start a pitcher on two games' rest twice in the postseason.

-All pitching staffs are reset to full rest at the All-Star Break, the end of the season, and the start of each round of the playoffs.

SECOND ANNUAL RM ALL-TIME FRANCHISE BASEBALL TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS


SPREADSHEET: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1s84m09sc4pcu ... t.xls?dl=0

Yup!

No yankees or Indians? thats crazy.

Or Royals. Half of the playoff teams from last tournament aren't back (at the moment).

Lament wrote:Or Royals. Half of the playoff teams from last tournament aren't back (at the moment).

Ill run Reds or Giants to balance a Yankees, Royals or Indians team (or vice versa). But there is no way im doing 3 again.

chud and numbers will get first dibs at a second team if we need a few more. I know beyond them, phil and #BRL both expressed interest in second teams, so odds are you won't even have to run a second one if you don't want to.

If no one else signs up, we'll just need to add one team to each league to get to sixteen.

I want to do an Expos Nationals team again.

So if numbers were to take an AL team, we'd have 8 and 8.

I can compile an Astros team again.

Cool. So if we're still at 14 when we start getting closer, we've got the Expos/Nats and Astros waiting in the wings to fill out the two leagues.

Proposal: Make the Astros the NL team and the Brewers the AL team.

I have no problem with that.

I'd like interleague play. Even if it's only for 1 game per team.

Same.

Meh, if we're going to separate the leagues then separate them. If not, then don't.

yeah, team chud.

Wait what? "Either do or don't"?

Yes, but don't meet somewhere in the middle and split but then have interleague play.
