For $90M cap, do pitcher fielding ratings factor in?

For $90M league, does park have to be one that one of your pitchers pitched in, or just any from the era?

Same as other positions. No arm restriction.

Good news guys, I have completed at least a first draft of all 6 (7 really) teams. Now I only have....nine....more weeks of temporary lay off left to tweak them over and over and over....
I've got drafts of four of the teams... I'm wisely using the time during all-hands conference calls for work to do the bulk of my drafting/planning.

Still trying to decide if this is an advantage for the less experienced players or whether it will just give the masters more time to create dominant lineups...

This may be overly ambitious, but if people enter their teams sooner than usual this year I'd be open to starting earlier. But I won't mandate a date change.

For some of us it wont make a huge difference, but it does mean I will have plenty of time to make lots and lots of versions and then end up inevitably picking the wrong one....

$110M: Progressive / Regressive
No restrictions but, in Round 2, you will be required to draft a 110M team that is entirely made up of the same 25 players + or - X years. X must be the same for all players on your roster. There is no requirement that all of your Round 2 players go in the same direction (i.e. +X years or -X years) — you can have both.

Other Specifics
Seasons: All
DH: No
WW: No
AAA: No
Trades: No
Clones: No
Injuries: Turned On
Multi-team players: No restrictions (i.e., you can use partial or combined)
Ballpark: Use a park one of your players played in for BOTH seasons you plan to use them. You must use the same park in Round 2.
300K Exception: No
Team Name: Reference your number for X
Division Alignment: Random
I am having way too much fun trying to figure this one out....

Variable Cap: Platoon!!!
Start with 180M.

For every player with over either 500 PA/162 or 200 IP/162 on your roster, subtract 5M from your salary cap. For every player with under either 200 PA/162 or 100 IP/162, add 2M to your salary cap.

Other Specifics
Seasons: All
DH: Yes
WW: No
AAA: No
Trades: No
Clones: No
Injuries: Turned On
Multi-team players: No restrictions (i.e., you can use partial or combined)
Ballpark: Any
300K Exception: No
Team Name: No restrictions
Division Alignment: Random
So you can't go over 180M?

The cap for the league is set at 180M, but it's certainly possible to exceed that with certain permutations of players. It didn't say here that you couldn't exceed 180, and my first iteration did.

I’m still on the waitlist, but I had a blast building the 80M and 90M teams today! Makes my brain hurt sometimes but it was a lot of fun to see my team getting put together

Oh, whoops, that's an error on my part and I'll have to adjust the league. You CAN go over 180M
4/14/2020 12:35 AM
Yeah, I set the cap for that league at 255M. The theoretical max is 230M.
