GENERAL RULES
(in addition to those outlined in the league description)
- Unless otherwise stated, only pitchers with half or more of their appearances in relief may be used in relief in Survivor games.
- If a player fails to get a game in by the deadline, his opponent will play against Sparky to get the game in. Any member of the other tribe or I can start the game, then exit to let Sparky manage it. The player missing the deadline (and his tribe) can get no benefit from any results obtained by Sparky.
- Most deadlines for playing/picking/voting will be midnight. That will refer to Eastern Time, and means the night of the day given. In other words, Thursday midnight means 12:00 a.m. Friday morning, strictly speaking.
- If a rule or challenge description is unclear. The spirit of the game is to clarify things, not find loopholes to take advantage of.
- I assure one and all that I will run this as objectively and fairly as I can. Do not worry that past knives in the back (hello staindman and acketyack) will be avenged here. I will wait until Survivor IV for that pleasure.

DEADLINE ALERT

A family duty will require me to be gone all day Friday and most of Saturday, and will not leave me time tonight to work on the first challenge. So the deadline for submitting teams will be pushed back to Saturday at 6 p.m. Because of this, I will also push back the deadline to get games played, to Thursday midnight.

For those not wishing to read all the way through the paragraph above...
• Teams must be submitted to me by 6 p.m. ET Saturday
• All games must be played by midnight Thursday

Fish- Unless the dumb question is dumb enough that it shouldn't be asked.

Fish- Unless the dumb question is dumb enough that it shouldn't be asked.

Four of the 13 who submitted teams took a shot at the 1927 Yankees. Random teams (excluding teams already chosen and the best record for good teams and worst for bad) were assigned to acketyack, aljon1331, staindman and toddleduc. First-come, first-serve in repicks. Post your repick team(s) in the forum, and no one else may select that team to replace an eliminated choice after it is posted. No one hit the Bonus Teams (1927 Pirates, 1926 Red Sox), though deltagorfers came very close.

INELIGIBLE: 1920 Athletics, 1927 Yankees, 1929 Athletics
MUST REPICK: FishNasty (good), dolphinsfan (good), steveymer (both), sabreclub (good), deltagorfers (good), The Taint (good), BastanRedsox (bad).

PLAY BALL!
Time for the first challenge. No one will be voted out after this one, but it will help determine how the tribe is set up. The goal is to win both games, or split them and allow the fewest runs. The top two owners will select two players for their tribe and send one player to the other tribe. Normal reliever rules apply to the good teams (only pitchers with half or more of their appearances in that season in relief can pitch in relief); bad teams can use pitchers however they wish. Games must be played by midnight Thursday. Please verify that I have the right teams inserted below. With 17 players, one owner will sit out that challenge and based on random selection that will be kneeneighbor. Post scores of your games here.

 In one game you will play with your good team and your opponent will use your bad team, in the bad team's park. In the other game, you will use your opponent's bad team in its park against your opponent's good team. So in the two games, you will play once with your good team and once with your opponent's bad team.

I am confused.  The 1923 Phillies were my BAD team.  In rules it says you play with your good team and your opponents bad team, yet looking at the schedule I am playing with my own bad team.  Am I looking at this wrong?

Also, for my repick of my good team, are only the 3 teams listed ineligible or those 3 teams plus everyone else's good teams?
