Round 1 Themes, 2020 Topic

I am having the most fun creating a team for the 90M theme. I feel like there are so many fun options. Just gotta figure out the best one.

you had mentioned earlier that they did not have any planned dynamic price adjustments, but it was more of a just in case thing heh
Sorry, I still don't understand the original question

I was under the assumption we were submitting 2 rosters this round.
Building both now is probably the safest bet but commissioners will not be checking anything but the Round 1 roster.

Made my $140 and had the perfect name for it (considering the name theme)... Ryne SandBurgh

then realized Pirates weren’t in box 3.

Back to the drawing board!

If you're feeling a little love for minor-league ball and a really stretched pun, you could go with Ryne SandGnati

I am so champing at the bit for this to start...not only have I created all 6 teams, but I've already completed my write-up as well. Can't wait!

I have all 6 teams done - though I am still playing with the 110M teams and my 120M team.

I feel pretty good (for now) on the others though.

Now I just gotta hope someone drops out...

Ozo often sets up leagues outside the WISC using the same themes for people who aren't necessarily in the tournament but want to take a shot at one, some, or all of the themes. Keep your eye open for that if no one drops.

Good looking out. In honesty I hope no one has to drop out, but has been a lot of fun putting these teams together!

Well that $110m team was really fun to build! Hope I get to see both versions play this year ;)
