Okay here is the first challenge. Each tribe is to select a World Series Champion from the 80’s. Then each player from your tribe will play a game against the other teams’ tribe. Simple enough right. Okay here is where the strategy comes in.
Each tribe must use 4 different starting pitchers in two games each and you may not use one of those 4 pitchers in another game. In addition any pitcher who started more games then they relived may not be used as a RP in this round. IF you do this you will forfeit your game. NO DH
Each team captain should send me a sitemail with the following: your team choice, followed by the 4 starters you will use and finally a list of your tribe and what person will be using what SP. That list will then be matched up with the other teams list and who ever is listed first on each list plays each other, who ever is second plays each other and so on.
For instance this is how one SM could look:
The PL selects the 1987 Minnesota Twins. Our SP’s are Viola, Blyleven Streaker andNiekro.
Bilfert- Blyleven
Joshkvt- Viola
Kneeneighbor- Viola
asile5- Niekro
soxyanks-Blyleven
dtown- Neikro
foolish1-Streaker
eman-Streaker
Captains you can try to talk with your groups and come up with a consensus, you can draft, you can do it however you want but you have the last call on team, SPs and the order. Tie breaker is runs allowed, followed by HRs hit followed by 9th inning runs then working the way back towards the 1st. If still tied after all those I will come up with a tie breaker to be played…
I will post the matchups as soon as I receive lists from both captains, I must receive them no later than noon Tuesday. The winning team will pick up an advantage in the next round, the losers vote someone off. If you have any questions please let me know. Once a captain submits a list he may not change it.
