The FIELD OF DREAMS Tournament: Round 3 Topic


Okay, here’s how Round Three is going to go:
 

I took the best seasons from every franchise (since 1901) and put them in chronological groups of five. For the most part, it’s every season with a winning percentage of .536 or above.

 
Each of the five leagues will contain different franchises, as you can see below. You’ll have many choices to choose from when you draft which five-season grouping you want to use. For example – in League Four: The National League will consist of Dodger squads and Phillie squads. There are 10 Dodger squads available and five Phillie squads. Even the last person picking in their respective draft will have a choice of who they want to use. Now, the key to the five-season groupings: you must use all five seasons in your grouping - but for one of them, you only get ONE player. Taking the most recent Dodger grouping as an example, you have 2004, 2009, 2013, 2014 and 2015 to choose from. YOU MUST ROSTER SIX PLAYERS FROM FOUR OF THOSE FIVE SEASONS, AND ONLY ONE PLAYER FROM THE FIFTH. Which four you want to take six from and which one you only want one from is totally up to you.

 
Obviously, each league will be divided up into N.L. and A.L. teams. If you have the 18th pick out of 24 in your respective league, and 12 N.L. teams have already been chosen, the remaining choices must all be A.L. teams.

 
The Leagues will be aligned in draft order pick. The first four N.L. squads chosen in each league will make up the N.L. East…and so on.

 
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
 
*Clones:  No
*Waiver Wire: No
*Trades: No
*A.A.A.: No.
*Designated Hitter: No.
*Injuries – Turned Off.
*CAP – $110M.
*Stadium – All teams will use a stadium that their franchise used during one of the five seasons in which your team is made up of.

 
Who Moves On?
 
Once Round THREE is complete, the owners who own the eight playoff teams in each league will earn a spot in Round Four.  8 x 5 = 40 spots. That leaves 8 spots to fill. The final 8 spots will be awarded to the teams who had the most wins across all 5 leagues (who didn't make their league's playoffs).  The tie-break (should it come into play) will be (1) Most Home Wins.

Apologies to those of you who have started comparing stats of some of these combos.  I had a feeling I overlooked some of the better teams from these franchises so I went back and double-checked my work and realized that I had left some off.  I went ahead and added them which changed a few of the combos around.  Not every franchise had additions - just the following:

League 1:  Cardinals / Cubs
League 2:  Reds / Senators/Twins
League 3:  None
League 4:  Dodgers / Indians
League 5:  Pirates / Rangers / Brewers

11/14/2015 9:14 PM
Just great!  I had already built teams for all of the original groupings! 
11/14/2015 10:36 PM
me too!

what, i didn't make the cut?

11/16/2015 9:07 PM

Nope - 74 wins just didn't cut the mustard...
