Fun new baseball mega-game for post All Star Break
In case you're not familiar, here are the threads for the April version, May version, and June version of the game...
This game is open to 32 players, no more, no less. The final 8 teams from June's game (SirVLCIV, Jables, dinosaur, strategygamer, Mr F, yankeetripper, ldancer911, bfore13) are guaranteed a spot in this month's game, so there's already only 24 spots left. All you need to do to enter is choose one team from each of the 10 groups below: GROUP 1 Rangers Rays Yankees GROUP 2 Braves Padres Red Sox GROUP 3 Cardinals Mets Reds GROUP 4 Giants Rockies Twins GROUP 5 Dodgers Phillies Tigers GROUP 6 Angels Marlins White Sox GROUP 7 Athletics Blue Jays Royals GROUP 8 Brewers Cubs Nationals GROUP 9 Astros Indians Mariners GROUP 10 Diamondbacks Orioles Pirates This will be a much longer version of the game than we've played up until now and will run for the rest of the MLB season. The 32 players will be split into 2 leagues, each with 4 divisions of 4 players. Over the course of 52 days from July 16th - September 5th, your roster will match up against that of each of the 16 opponents in the opposite league once, each of your three divisional opponents four times, and each other team in your league but not in your division twice. After the sign-ups are complete, I will slot the teams into leagues and divisions, and post the daily head-to-head schedule. The scoring is as follows: +5 points for each win by a team you selected -2 points for each loss by a team you selected +1 point for each run you win by in your victories Total up your points for the day and compare to that our your opponent and see who gets the W and who takes the L. In case of any ties for division title and/or playoff spots, there is an off day built in the schedule before the playoffs start, where the tie can be broken with a head-to-head matchup. There will be 8 playoff teams per league, composed of the 4 division winners, the 2 next best W/L/T records, and then the 2 next best total points scored. For seeding purposes, the division winners will be seeds #1-4, ranked by W/L/T record, they will get to choose their opponents for the first round, thus determining which wild card teams get slotted into seed #5-8. There is no reseeding in the playoffs. In this version of the game, the playoff series will be longer, using a best-of-5 format, and we won't play on Mondays/Thursdays to reduce the chances of teams being idle in the playoffs. The first round is September 7th/8th/10th/11th/12th, the quarterfinals September 14th/15th/17th/18th/19th, the league championships September 21st/22nd/24th/25th/26th, and the World Series September 28th/29th and October 1st/2nd/3rd. And in case there are any ties, we can use the scheduled off day on Mondays as a tiebreaker... Sign ups are open now, and feel free to ask any questions in this thread...
