$110M: 3x Franchise
Pick a player who has WIS eligible seasons from at least 3 franchises (franchises defined by BBR.com). You must use 3 versions of your chosen player. Each version must come from a different franchise and cost at least 1M.

Complete your roster with players from the 3 franchises (any season, but no twisting to other franchises).

Other Specifics
Seasons: All
DH: No
WW: No
AAA: No
Trades: No
Clones: No, except for your chosen player
Injuries: Turned On
Multi-team players: Cannot use combined seasons for chosen player. Other 22 players have no restrictions
Ballpark: Must use a park that one of your 3 franchises used while your chosen player played for them
300K Exception: No
Team Name: Include your chosen player
Division Alignment: Random
Re: ballpark here...I assume that the park must have been used in one of the 3 seasons that you chose? The wording is a little ambiguous.

Oh good question -- the intention is for it to be from one of the three seasons, yes

Lot of people missing the ballpark restriction and the $40,000/IP minimum in the $90M league

Yep, that happened in my league too. Sent a lot of sitemails last week. Looks all set now though

Uh oh. I just saw this and hadn't notified people that their park was wrong. I better get to it.

It doesn't affect my team, but that's not how the rule is written. I don't thinking is fair to deviate from the written rule if someone has a park entered that complies with the written rule. Let's say Player A played for the Rangers from 1990 to 2000. The Rangers changed stadiums in 1994 (Ballpark in Arlington). If a WISC team has 1992 Player A (as one the captain clones) that team should be allowed to select The Ballpark in Arlington, bc Player A played in that ballpark with the Rangers- which is how the rule is written. You can't change the rules this late into the game...
Just my opinion.

I'd argue it is how it's written, it just isn't clearly written. I poorly used "chosen player" to convey chosen-player-season

Exactly. It isn't clearly written. What 'IS' written should be the ultimate rule. Obviously

Your mistake in writing the rule shouldn't impact owners that made their team weeks ago based on what was actually written. How is that not so?

My example given fits within the rule as written. If that's not allowed, something is wrong.....
8/7/2019 3:25 AM
I won't press it too much, but the fact that I'm ranked 15th overall but 5th in 4 of my leagues... and the guy ranked 17th overall is ranked 4th in 4 of their league.. plus this last minute rule change DOES say something about how things are run here.... Still trying to figure out how the dude ranked 17 has a way better draw than the dude ranked 15th is possible.... but... whatever... I think I should just give up on trying to figure out how that works

The point is..... What does the rule actually say? That's what the rule should be. How is that not so?
8/7/2019 3:35 AM
I’m leaning towards miles here. The way the rule is written seems very clear it just has to be when your player played there. Kind of late to be correcting something that’s been there for months.

I assumed you meant season of the chosen player.

But “during the season you choose” is clearly stated in other themes (like the $90M league), so why wasn’t it clearly stated in this one then?
