Once Round ONE is complete, the owners who own the eight playoff teams in each league will earn a spot in Round Two. 8 x 20 = 160 spots. That leaves 80 spots to fill. The final 80 spots will be awarded to the teams who had the most wins across all 20 leagues (who didn't make their league's playoffs).  The tie-break (should it come into play) will be (1) Most Home Wins.

When all twenty first-round leagues are completed, I'll place the 240 teams that make it to Round Two in the order of the number of Wins they had.  Then, I'll send out a sitemail to all owners, letting them know how many teams they had that earned them a spot in Round Two.  I'll then ask every one of those owners to send me a list of the leagues they prefer to be in - in order of preference.  For example, if you have three teams advancing, you may want to be in Leagues 3, 6 and 8.  Once I get everyone's list of preferences, I'll start at the top in filling up each league.  Then (if necessary), once that's done, I'll do some bait and switch maneuvers to ensure that owners with multiple teams are in as many different leagues as possible.


Here's the scoop on how we're doing Round Two:

The ten leagues will be split up N.L. and A.L. and will be as follows:

League One (NL):  1892/1894/1896/1898/1900-1907)
League One (AL):  1891(N.L. only)/1893/1895/1897/1899/1901-1907)

League Two (NL):  1908-1918/F.L. 1914
League Two (AL):  1908-1918/F.L. 1915

Leagues Three through Ten will be a perfect N.L./A.L. split:

League Three:  1919-1930
League Four:  1931-1942
League Five:  1943-1954
League Six:  1955-1966
League Seven:  1967-1978
League Eight:  1979-1990
League Nine:  1991-2002
League Ten:  2003-2014

Twenty-Four available years in each league - twelve in the N.L. and twelve in the A.L.

Owners will be picking (through a one-round draft) from the available years in that league, the year that they would like to build their team around.  Once the ten leagues are determined, the Win totals from your Round One teams will determine the draft order for each of the Round Two leagues.  For example - in League 10, if you had first pick, you may want to use the National League from 2009.  There are only twenty-four choices available in each league and they're evenly split between the N.L. and A.L. side.  Owners who have two teams in any one league in Round Two must have one team in each the N.L. and the A.L.

Division alignment will be chronologically.  In League Two, the 1915 F.L. will be in the A.L. Central Division while the 1915 A.L. will go in the A.L. West Division.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
 
Clones:  No
Waiver Wire: No
Trades: No
A.A.A.: No.
Designated Hitter – Yes.
Injuries – Turned Off.
CAP – $110M.
Stadium – All teams must use a stadium that was called HOME by a team in that particular league (A.L./N.L.) and must have been in use during the year of your team.

Just Curious if I pick AL does that mean I can only use American League players or do I get the whole year?

Assuming we're talking about leagues 3 through 10, you just get A.L. players from that year.  In League 2, it's the same with the exception of whoever gets the 1915 F.L. squad.  In League 1, the A.L. side will consist of the A.L. teams from 1901-1907 and the N.L. teams from 1891, 1893, 1895, 1897 and 1899.

If a player was in both leagues in a given year, can I select their full year stats or would I have to choose just their stats for the given league I drafted?

Good question.  I'd say you can use whichever one you want - as long as it shows up for that particular team/league.

Yeah,  I've got the particulars on my computer at home.  I just need to finalize everything and then I'll get it posted.  Hopefully sometime by the end of this coming week/weekend.
