Venn Diagrams - Full, Waitlisting Topic

In this league, each team will use only the Union of two sets of seasons (Set A and Set B) that must:
  1. Contain at least 3 years in common (known as the Intersection in a Venn Diagram)
  2. Each contain at least 1 year that lies outside the Intersection (known as the Relative Complement) such that
    1. Set A must have a season earlier in time than any of those in Set B
    2. Set B must have a season later in time than any of those in Set A
  3. Each Set will be defined as only the SIM eligible seasons for a given player (as opposed to every season that shows up in Baseball-Refernce for that same player)
Additionally:
  1. Each owner will determine the Elements (in this case seasons) contained in each Set by selecting a unique two player Combination. Note that the Combination must be unique, not the players. In other words, no two owners can use the exact same two player Combination.
  2. Each player you select to create your Combination must be used exactly 4 times on your team; 3 times from the Intersection and 1 time from each the Relative Complement. Note that the years you use from the intersection can, but are not required to, be the same.
  3. The remaining players on your team must be teammates from the seasons you use from the players making up your Combination. Therefore, the Universe of players you can use to fill out your team is restricted to a Subset of players determined by the 4 seasons you use for each of your two selected players.
  4. The league will be restricted to the "Post Babe" era of 1936-2016. Your Combination can contain a player that played prior to 1936 but you cannot use a season prior to 1936. Furthermore, the player you select for Set A (as defined above) must have at least one post-1935 season that is earlier in time than the earliest SIM eligible season for your Set B player.
Other Rules:
  • $120M Salary Cap, Random Alignment
  • Stadium must be from one of your selected players in a year you use
  • Clones = Yes but ONLY for your two selected players as outlined above
  • AAA = Yes, 6/2 Average
  • No DH, Trades, WW, Live Play
  • Injuries Off

EXAMPLE:

Hal Newhouser and Stan Musial

Set A = Hal Newhouser's SIM eligible seasons (1940-1952, 1954)
Set B = Stan Musial's SIM eligible seasons (1942-1944, 1946-1963)

Intersection = 1942-1944, 1946-1952 and 1954
Relative Complement of B in A = 1940, 1941 and 1945
Relative Complement of A in B = 1953 and 1955-1963

I love math, I try to do a little algebra everyday. When my teacher assigned the even numbered problems for homework...I did them all. I own a truck loaded with watermelons that I drive regularly between point A and point B.
