Agreed....

I was/am on the fence about how challenging it will be. If there is relative consensus after people do research, I will consider changing it.

I’m not in Round 2, but this looked like the most fun to me. I immediately had 3 of my 5 clones in mind and may try building out a team for fun!

$80m question: Is Gift Ngoepe in the Hall of Fame? Thanks.

I guess he might be selected by the Veteran's Committee one day. But you can still use him now as a 300k exception.

$120M: 3x3=9
Choose 3 seasons and 3 franchises. Combine them so you have 9 unique teams. All 25 players must come from one of those 9 teams.

No more than 3 players per team are allowed and every team has to be represented at least once. So the only combinations are:

3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2 = 25
3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-1 = 25

Details
Seasons: All
DH: Yes
WW: No
AAA: No
Trades: No
Clones: No
Injuries: Turned On
Multi-team players: No restrictions (i.e., you can use partial or combined)
Ballpark: Must have been used by one of your 9 teams
300K Exception: Yes
Team Name: None
Division Alignment: Random

300K exception is on for this $120M theme but that contradicts the two available combinations. I’m assuming there is no 300K exception but can you verify?

I noticed ozomatli didn't answer this, but I have to believe he meant NO for 300K exception.

Correct, sorry. Will update page 1

do we use actual or projected SLG% for the variable cap?

in the 100 mil league do we need to draft stadiums?

for the $80M, if the guy is in the HOF as a manager is that okay? such people show up in the search if you filter it to HOFer, so I assume it's okay but I figured I'd ask

can we get an answer to this?

The projected SLG% is broken, I entered my team into a 255M league to check my SLG%

Raw means actual SLG% to me. Projected is an adjusted number therefore not raw, though it's what we've used in the past without calling it raw. And it would skew 2020 hitters. Actually I'm not even starting until the rules are clear. Same with HOF league. Why waste time on an assumption that may be overruled?

My 80m question surrounds the class of 2021. Currently Larry Walker and Derek Jeter, etc don’t show up when you search for Hall of Famers but they are being inducted within the week. Are we allowed to use them?

I’m thinking that yes we can use HOF managers and yes we can use Walker/Jeter/Simmons since they’ll be in the HOF before the league # is posted, since the theme just says ‘must be in the HOF’ with no further qualifiers. Clarification would be nice though

Extremely difficult! I can't say I want to spend the time to improve it.

Same thing happened to me. There’s probably better options out there, I just don’t wanna deal with it. I’m going in with this meh team.

More cumbersome than difficult. Strategy wasn't hard I knew what I wanted to do, it just took a lot of legwork to do it.
The 3 x 3 looks nasty I haven't started it yet.

I've only put an hour into the 70m league so far, but I don't think the pitching will be extremely difficult to find. They will probably stink up the place though. Haven't looked at hitting yet and that's what I'm worried about. I would really like to use 3 different pitchers, but having only 2 hitters seems like a stretch IMO. As I said, just started on it, so my opinion could very well change.
