The league format will use the 16-team league (2 divisions of 4 teams in each league) with interleague play (32 total interleague games).  The division alignment is listed below.  Your team name should be representative of your roster makeup.  If you have 24 Yankees and 1 Highlander on your roster, don't call your team New York Highlanders.

I did not list every possible nickname below, just the most recognizable ones.  See baseball-reference for complete list.

So let me get this straight, I enter this tourney and then, just like that, I win $500 ... What's not to like.  I'll play but I don't have a dance partner.  I'll pair up with some other lonesome George on the dance floor I guess.

One thing I forgot to mention.  It's up to each partnership how they want to divvy up the teams.  You could go NL and AL.  Or you could hold a seperate two-person draft to choose.  It really doesn't matter.
