$90M: Real Team + Clones with DH
Select a real team and use it's players to fill your roster. You will be able to clone a certain amount of players based on your team's real life win percentage. However, you are able to use as many clones of each player as you'd like, and your clones can come from any season and/or franchise that the player played for in their career.
- < .450 = 3 players
- .450 - .550 = 2 players
- >= .550 = 1 player
Example: If you select the 2015 Dodgers, who had a .552 win percentage, you could use as many clones of Clayton Kershaw as you wanted and you would not be required to use 2015 Kershaw. However, if you select the 2008 Dodgers, who had a .519 win percentage, you could use as many clones of both Clayton Kershaw and Greg Maddux as you wanted. You would not be required to use 2008 Kershaw or 2008 Maddux.

$100M: Hitting The Limit Twist
This will be a unique twist league. Select a ten year period for a single franchise. Now, pick up to three seasons in that period. Your roster must be made up of players twisted from those three seasons but still within the ten year period. Additionally, you cannot use players from any of the seasons you selected.
Example: You pick the 2006-2015 Dodgers. You select the seasons 2006, 2011, and 2015. You can use 2014 Greinke but not 2015 Greinke (since you selected 2015), you can use 2011 Greinke (even though he was not a Dodger), and you cannot use 2016 Greinke (since that falls outside of 2006-2015).

$120M: Choose Your Soup
You have three options to build your team.
- Alphabet Soup - Each player's last name must begin with a unique letter.
- Franchise Soup - Each player must be from a unique franchise.
- Decade Soup - Each hitter must come from a unique decade. Each pitcher must come from a unique decade. An example decade would be 1900-1909 or 1910-1919, but not 1901-1910. The periods 1885-1889 and 2010-2016 will each be treated as individual decades.
You will need to use BOTH of the restrictions you don't choose now, for one team in Round 2. For example, if you choose Alphabet Soup for Round 1, you will need to create a $120M team in Round 2 that has both the Franchise Soup and Decade Soup restrictions on it.
