Good luck to those teams currently in the playoffs for season 6, and.....

Welcome back to the 7th season of Random Champs & Chumps!  This is the league where owners build teams from a random pool of players, with the added challenge of having to pick 75% of the roster from teams that finished at or under .500.  This theme tends to attract some of the better theme league players you will find on WIS so if you're up for the challenge, then bring your game face.

Each owner will be given four random pools of teams from 1964-2013. These pools are NL and AL leagues for a given season. For example, you might get the following draw:

NL 1977
AL 2003
NL 1987
NL 1966

After receiving four random leagues, each owner must choose one league to designate as their “Champs league.” The rest of the groups will be designated as “Chumps leagues.”

You may build your team using players from any team that finished over .500 in your Champs league (these players are referred to as Champs) and players from any team that finished at or under .500 in your Chumps leagues (these players are referred to as Chumps).  Each roster must have exactly six Champs with the rest of the roster composed of Chumps. At least six players must be chosen from each remaining chump league. Players may not be twisted. You must use the players from the years you draw.

If a player you wish to draft split time between leagues, you may not use that player's full season.  However if you are considering the full season of a player who split time between two of your chump teams, or two of your champ teams, then you may use the full season.

I will send out a league number when we have at least 10 owners that have signed up. Also, I will ask one of the first several HOF owners that sign on to randomize me.

Also, if anyone remembers who won season 5 will you let me know? 

So lets get started building that team!

Special thanks to alleyviper for keeping records for the first four seasons!
