I’m starting a one league “getting even” tournament.
Bottom 24 teams. If owners don’t want to play then we will work our way up the ladder as far as positions are concerned.
$25 buy in. Details are being worked out.
Would it be ok to post a thread in WISC site as I begin recruiting owners. Joe

I'd be in. After a somewhat good showing last year (for a rookie), this WIS has been a complete disaster for me. Would love a shot at redemption.

Mike used to run the Next 24 tourney. Second chance day...

I’m in!

My team in the $100M theme played a 23-inning game in the pm2 cycle. I'm wondering if that's a record for longest game in the WISC.

Followed that up with a 12-inning affair. 35 innings in 2 games; 1 inning short of 4 games worth of innings.

A few weeks ago I was projected for 0 playoff spots. But my fatigued $70 mil team won 19 of 21 somehow and we stole a wild card. Not total abject failure!

Well the $70M team is 87-73, up 2 with 2 to play. We avoided the death spiral with only 1,226IP. Occasionally I had to do some mop work, but they stayed above water...more innings would have been nice, but we did without...

Overall we came up a bit short. My $100M and $110M teams weren't good enough. Perhaps next year we fare better. Good luck to those advancing...

My performance this season was pathetic.

I was in 71st place after the first 27 games but pulled all the way to 12th in the regular-season standings. The slow starts made for some very difficult races, but I've got 5 teams in the playoffs (4 division winners, 1 WC) and one playing a wild-card tiebreaker for a shot at all 6. A quick look, including the low point of each team's start:

70M: 87-75 (.537 vs. 556 EXP%), 2 games out, 4 games ahead for WC. Started 9-13. (Shoutout to 2018 Khris Davis' 65 HR, 170 RBI)
80M: 95-67 (.586 vs. 592), 1 game ahead. Started 15-15.
100M: 97-65 (.599 vs. 619), 6 games ahead. Started 11-10.
110M: 95-67 (.586 vs. 591), 5 games ahead. Started 13-12.
120M: 88-74 (.543 vs. .572), 2 games out, tied for WC. Started 4-15. (Special note: Were 2-20 in 1-run games at one point and finished 14-28)
140M: 92-70 (.568 vs. 556), 1 game ahead. Started 5-18. (1910 Walsh started 1-8, finished 22-22. '66 Koufax started 1-7, finished 20-20)

Considering where I was sitting most of the first half of the season, this is way more than I could have imagined.

I was tied for 6th-best in the final 162 with 100 wins. Multiplied by 6, I would've been in 2nd in the entire field. Too bad my teams got going too late.

best team to miss the playoffs was scottharra in the $80m with 94 wins (although this was inflated by two 120+ loss tomato cans on his side of the league). happyhours in the $70m won 93 and missed as well.

worst teams to make the playoffs were Bill_James47 (81 wins) and _JJP_ (79 wins) in the $120M

Wow. All 3 teams down 2-1, all 3 win the series. Not the luck I’m used to in this game.

Obviously someone at Game Control pushed the wrong DUMP button...we'll get on it right away to ensure that doesn't happen again...

I should hope so. This level of incompetence is inexcusable!

We checked the camera footage. Seems one of Mr. Bucket's oompa loompas accidentally bumped a switch with a broom handle while cleaning the control room. We apologize for any inconvenience.
