I apologize if I missed or forgot this, but are there any rules for team names? Should we include the owner's name whose team we drafted in the team name?

There aren't any rules for team names, but it would be nice if people did.

I will put fatguyrd (DoctorKz's roster) in my division.

Never thought I'd say this, but I really wish I could put schwarze in my division :P.

Round 1: I guess I'll take DoctorKz (vilefileman's roster) in my division

Round 2: I'll put CLWECW (fatguyrd's roster) in schwarze's division

And now I sit back and wait to see what I'm stuck with.

I think a WC definitely would've helped in this format. Too bad we couldn't get 24 owners. I feel like some of these teams will have a very easy time winning their divisions.

It might have been better to create divisions by draft order. Picks 1-4 in one division, 5-8 in the next, etc.

it is too bad we couldn't get 24 owners. However, it's top 4 in point standings regardless of division/conference (although who is in your division/conference is obviously going to have an effect on wins).

The fact that one or more teams could be dominant is why I opted for point standings rather than just winning the division (well that and I wanted incentive for people to make their rosters bad). It's also another reason why I was cool to the idea of random division alignment.

I forgot about the point standings. That makes things a bit better.

I will put Disco Dogs (reddtrain's roster) into Jtpsops' division. A very strong offense on that roster.

And defense. Hopefully those deadballers will drag it down.

I wonder what the thought process of everyone was when constructing these rosters. Some are actually pretty decent.

Honestly, I think it is just inexperience. I'm pretty sure we're going to find out that owners who know how to make their rosters good in regular leagues also know how to construct rosters that are really bad, and vice versa.

I am still proud of the roster I put together in my Good, Bad & Ugly theme. I didn't use the A+ arm catcher strategy, so not only did my roster have the worst defense (most errors, most negative plays), but they allowed a boatload of stolen bases as well.

I think for future iterations, we should align divisions by draft order. Owners who luck out with a top draft pick should have to face other good teams more, IMO.

Round 2: We will put BullMoose (Normy 17's roster) in justinlee's divison

Round 3: We will put Buddhagamer (Disco Dogs roster) in our division
