After two tribes have battled it out in challenges that emphasized the coasts, Survivor moves to the three-division era and into America’s heartland. As baseball did in 1994 with its alignment, our two tribes will be split into three. To reset the tribes, I used the Live ranking for the 15 remaining players. The top-ranked Live player, The Taint, was assigned to the first tribe. #2-ranked toddleduc went to tribe 2, #3-ranked eman7400 to tribe 3, #4 steveymer to tribe 1, and so on.

Each tribe will pick a league and a season, and will use five Central Division teams with one tribe member using the same team in two games, once against each of the other two tribes, for a total of 10 games per tribe. The team with the worse real-life record will play at home in each game. You must use a different starting pitcher in each of your two games. For example, if Tribe 1 picks the 2008 AL, one player would use the Indians twice, one would use the Tigers twice, etc.

Each tribe’s captain will be the player with the lowest Live ranking. The captains will send me the year and league you want to use, and a list of which player will use which team. If more than one tribe selects the same year/league, the first to submit it gets that division and the other(s) will have to repick.

Two of the three tribes will send someone home after the challenge, but one player from each losing tribe will receive immunity based on the best record in his two games, with runs-differential as a tiebreaker (runs allowed as a second tiebreaker, runs allowed at home as the third if needed, and then a coin flip if needed).
