The Ugly. Any team with a winning percentage <= .425. Take any 7 players from this team and, for even more help from this weakest roster, take any 3 clones from these 7 players from any of their WIS seasons. You can use 3 clones of one player, clones of 3 different players, or some other combination.

So, your roster consists of 7 players from each of the three teams from your season, plus the 4 clones.

So for the $110m theme, is it 3 clones from the ugly, or 4? I see both listed above. I'm guessing 4, since 7+7+7 plus 3 clones equals only 24 players

No, you take 1 clone from The Bad and 3 clones from The Ugly.

Ah, I missed that. Thanks!

These themes look tough. Thanks for putting them together.

res for 120M Q$A

Why are there two Box P’s on each side? Can we skip one box here or does one of the box options need to be removed?

I think I made one set too many. Will fix. Thank you.

(I removed the bottom set of boxes and adjusted the lettering)

All good, figured that would be the fix

130M Question: If the teammate you are linking played only one game that season (but they were teammates that season according to Baseball Reference), is that within the rules? Or does it have to be a player who appears in the WIS database for that season?

I was going to ask the same question

Yes to the first question. Any teammate from the same season regardless of how much they played. No WIS season is required.

Good Bad and Ugly is brilliant.

No way I'm in the second round but I wish I was just to have a crack at some of these.

For the clones in 110M Good Bad and Ugly:

We are to take 7 players from the sub-.425 Ugly team, and then are allowed to clone thrice. But only from that group of seven, correct?

For example, I pulled up 1936 AL and looked at the first sub-.425 team which is the Browns. They have Hornsby and Bottomley on that team, so one might think there is hope.

But, if one is required to draft 1936 Bottomley, then other versions of him don't help unless you want to stick him in the OF. Hornsby only had 6 PA for the Browns but would have plenty of good infield seasons to clone if desired. And there are few if any good-enough-to-twist pitchers. But if you did find one to clone, you would have to roster their 1936 version as well, yes?

But if you did find one to clone, you would have to roster their 1936 version as well, yes?

So your clones would have to come from up to 3 of the players you rostered from the 1936 Browns. If Hornsby doesn't have a WIS season with them, you can't clone him. But if he did, in theory you could use 1 or 2 or 3 clones of him, if you wanted to. And yes if you wanted clones of Bottomley, you'd have to roster his 1936 version as one of your 7 from that team.
