Hi all, im entering my first tournament of champions and was hoping for some help. Do theme league and regular league winners get bunched in the sane tournament?

also, i was in an 80m standard league, but the toc shows 90m, doesn that mean i have to go to the waiver wire to upgrade my roster by 10M?

any guidance would be helpful

I have only been in one myself but I had a lot of questions, too.

You don't get to change your roster at all. The 90m more reflects the value of your AAA guys. I was definitely in there with theme teams as well as open, too.

You'll notice fatigue is famously hard to manage in the TOC. People start dropping immediately, but everyone is going through the same problem.

Ya, each AAA is 200k. So your league had an 80mil cap, but with the AAAs, that's an extra 1.2mil so it bumps you over to the 90mil ToC. As for advice, it's pretty much a crapshoot. Fatigue is a problem for everyone. Just be sure to adjust your settings because ur ToC team will have their settings back to the default ones.

I don't get out 80M + 1.2M = 90M???
Also, theme leagues can join too? What if a theme league was for a $100m roster - how does that work? I doubt the TOC chops off 10 million worth of players.

TOCs are grouped by 10M increments (60M, 70M, 80M... 200M and then 225M and 255M as well). If you are 80.00001-90 you'll be in the 90M TOC. In addition to AAA, if a dynamic salary update occurred between the time your league started and your team made the TOC, your team will be placed based on the NEW salaries of your players.

Thanks Is the tournament 1 game per bracket? Or 7 game series?

Also, where is the article that talks about this?

The first three rounds are five game series. The last 2 rounds are seven game series. One game sims per day, during the AM cycle. No PM or PM2 games.

TOC is one big PIA.....
