Use this thread to sound off on the 1-3-5-7-9 Leagues.

One of the things I intend on doing at some point is comparing the scoring (by franchise) between this tournament and the last franchise draft tournament. It's early, but it seems as the offense is way ahead of the pitching. My 16 teams averaged over 9 runs per game in this most recent session.

Here are the last few undefeated teams...
