Too many teams jumbled. Would love to see a team added to each division and have a top 30 advance? Is it possible? Sorry I put forth a ****** 110M team in round 1. My round 2 team would’ve probably put me in round 2...nah?

The idea of a Top 30 is interesting, as the WISC has always been a Top 24 but 30 team leagues do exist (though the divisions are unbalanced).

I can consider it as a potential change for next year, however, I can't change the rules halfway through a year's tournament.

To be fair, don't most of the Top 30 make it anyway, with people dropping out of the second round each year?

No, historically no one drops out. The last 2 years have been abnormal with 1-2 people dropping out and, in one case, an owner going MIA from the site.

I stand corrected. This is what happens when I rarely make Round 2 :P

The unbalanced divisions would be problematic.

If WIS ever adds the 30-team format MLB currently uses with balanced leagues it would be perfect for the WISC. Given what we know about the unbalanced divisions and schedules in the current format though, I don't think it's viable for WISC use.

You could also run basically an NIT version of Round 2, where the teams ranked 25-48 compete with the same themes.

We do this already. There isn't always enough interest though.

Addie Joss threw a no-hitter in the $120M league. The perfect game was broken up by an error from - you guessed it - my defensive stud, Mr. Schoendienst.
Mr. Joss avenges this debacle with a 1-0 perfect game in the final game of the season.

With my 94-win team failing to make the playoffs, what is the over/under for "bonus" points my 5 playoff teams accumulate? Before you answer, please check my previous playoff performances.

I will set the line at 13.5 points.

I'm going to say over (15). If even one of those 5 teams goes deep into the post season and the other 4 teams flame out, you'll clear that line.
