I'm confused (yes, I know that's not a shock to anyone). The tribe picks one wild card, and every tribe member uses a different team. How is that possible if the tribe picks one team?

What I meant was that once the rosters are finalized for the tribes (that is if anyone moves over or not), then each tribe can pick whatever wildcard team is out there. There is no need to post al wildcard or nl wildcard, they will be available to pick from for both tribes. That though will be done in secret and not posted in the forum. Your tribe leader will send the wild card teams for each tribe member to me. Hope that makes more sense.

A few questions:

1) Does different team mean different MLB franchise altogether, or can someone pick the 1995 Yanks and someone else pick the 1997 Yanks for example?

2) What if two different tribes pick same year, same team? Is it different teams within each tribe, or different teams throughout (which would necessitate 12 different franchises)?

3) Does 1994 count since the wild-card format was in place then, or does it have to be in a season which was completed?

4) I know that starters can't pitch relief, but can they come off the bench to pinch-hit as long as they don't pitch?

1) Correct. You can still have the Yanks, just not the same years.

2)It is different teams within each tribe. Both tribes may pick the same team.

3) 1994 Does count.

4) Yes. They can pinch hit, but they cannot pitch.

SO in theory someone has to move from the first tribe before anyone would decide to leave the second.

And they can't anymore. Rosters are now locked. Teams are due to me tomm at 5 pm.

Glad to see my team captain hasn't opened my sitemail for my team. Looks like tato is screwing us all....

Maybe tato is working with us?

He better hope we.keep voting opposite tribes then...

We're not voting for opposite tribes this time.

Ouch.  And it will certainly be tougher to win the challenge with random teams.  Although certainly not impossible... they're all playoff teams, after all.

Here are the matchups for this challenge. Tribe one has some selected teams, while some will be random. Home team will be last and have 2 games. Best of 3 series.  The tribe that does the best in these games (tiebreakers are runs differential, fewest runs allowed, then if needed a tiebreaker game) will then have immunity. The losing tribe will VOTE OUT ONE PERSON FROM THEIR OWN TRIBE. Dahsdebater won the auction and could pick any team during wild card era.

Well....thanks random Gods for not screwing me over I guess....And gee, which Red Sox team did tato get? Also, he STILL hasn't opened my sitemail.

For the record, tato, if there was going to be a time constraint to us getting you the teams, you could have effing let us know. I like to put a LOT of research into teams before I pick. Doing this this way just sucks.

I forgot to say games are due next Sunday at 5pm central.

Did I get eliminated for not picking a team or am I on the island?

You are on the island. I forgot to mention that too. Sorry. I just took 3 random people and assigned them 3 random teams.
