Is it too late to update the 120m league so the searches only include the players available in the boxes? I'm sure it's too late, but that would cut a ton of time out of doing individual searches. Thanks.
with the <$205k boxes, this would require manually going through the entire database and individually selecting more than a thousand different players, would take hours

I knew the <$205k might be the wrench. Nice job with the boxes btw. There are very few clear decisions which will make this very interesting.

A few questions for clarification:
  • Box 2: It's obvious that only the 135 IP Elton Chamberlain is intended, but there are multiple 1888 versions available.
  • Box 6: It's not obvious which 2011 Koji Uehara is intended.
  • Box 6: Liam Hendriks' name is misspelled.
Edit: It's also not obvious which 1925 Joe Harris is intended.

I hadn't looked at the boxes closely, but just to clarify ... I see Uehara has seasons in two boxes, but no clones are allowed. So I'm assuming using one version precludes taking the one in the other box, correct?

You’re calling out a spelling mistake?

Sometimes I wonder if the goal of some of these posts is to kill the tournament because no one will want to deal with the nonsense
Just thought I'd mention it because if you search for " Liam Hendricks", like I did initially, you won't find him. Apologies for my 'nonsense', but also maybe try switching to decaf.
