Roster Deadlines and League Assignments, 2026 Topic

I expect the $125M league to have the most homogenous rosters (or, at least, the most player duplication across rosters), given the narrow salary band and the relative scarcity of players within that band who can perform well in a $125M league.

The bullpens will be AWESOME!

There is absolutely going to be duplication at the $100M level.

Same selected teams, yes. But not identical rosters, more than likely.

Looks like we just need roster fixes in four leagues now. Please keep your eyes open for sitemails. I've just found a few errors in the last league I backchecked. The 100M and 110M definitely were tricky to comply with.

I think we are down to about 3 roster fixes to complete and get launched. Appreciate everyone's patience.

I’ve sent you several sitemails clarifying the errors.

This league does not allow clones and your roster is full of them.

You must start with a core roster, and you can then twist players on that roster to different years of their career in sequential order, but you may only use each player ONCE. You may not have multiple versions of any player on your roster.

Franklynne,

There were numerous posts clarifying and explaining the 100m theme further in the Themes thread.
here is one of the ones I posted if it helps :

The 100m theme takes a bit to fully wrap your head around. Here’s how I approach it, if it helps:

I take the team I’m interested in, say the 1927 Yankees, and use the ‘draft from historical team’ feature to download the whole squad into the draft center. That’s the basis of your team. You can fill out any missing spots, or swap out as many players as you want for any <300k player in the WIS database (doesn’t matter team or year). You can also use partial or combined seasons for any of your team’s players that may have played for two or more teams that year.

You can then enter that team as is if you wanted.

However, you will likely improve it by taking any of those players (or any one of the players that baseball-reference shows made an appearance for your team that year, even if they don’t have enough at bats or innings pitched to show up on the WIS lineup for that year) and ‘twisting” them one year away from your chosen year. So in our example, you can take any of the players on the 1927 Yankees and use their 1926 or 1928 season (doesn’t matter if they played for another team or not). It also doesn’t matter if you go backwards or forwards in time.

Now, again, you can stop there if you are satisfied. Or you can then take any other (remember, no clones so you can’t twist or use the same player more than once) player from the 1927 Yankees and use their 1925 or 1929 season. Again, it doesn’t matter which way in time you go (and it doesn’t matter which way you went with your first twist) as long as the twisted player is 2 years away from your original squad.

And you keep going like that, or stopping when you are happy with your roster.

But, remember, only one twist per step - ie only one player from one year away, one player from two years away, etc.

And also remember you can’t skip a step. So you can’t twist Babe Ruth 7 years away and use his 1920 season unless you have previously twisted 6 other players 1-6 years away from 1927.

Hope this helps and happy hunting.

And also to clarify, clones are multiple versions of the same player on the same roster. - ie using three different seasons of Frank Robinson. They are not allowed in this theme.
Twists are taking any player that played for your chosen team (ie Frank Robinson from the 1971 Orioles) and using any of their seasons in the WIS database - I.e using 1962 Robinson from the Reds.

All rosters have been approved. We should be launching in the near future.

It's a shame I missed this and never got a sitemail... stuck with generic names on some of my teams. Oh well, c'est la vie! Good luck everyone!

I sent a SM on the 26th saying owners could rename teams, among other things.

you can file a ticket and Admin will change them, I believe.
