Regressive Franchise Twist 2015-2017


To "twist" means to choose from any season of a particular player. For example, say you select the Mariners for 2015-2017, you may select any season any any player who appeared in at least one game on your teams roster for the given iteration. The player must have minimally faced one batter (pitcher) or had one AB(hitter). Use http://www.baseball-reference.com/ for team rosters for individual seasons.

You may keep your team version to version. The next iteration will be 2012-2014, then down to 2009-2011, so on and so forth. If you keep your team you become eligible to win a $10 GC that is detailed below.

*Each owner can select up to two franchises. They will be placed in separate conferences. But you may select whichever two you want, regardless of which conference they are in as far as the current MLB is formatted.

Rules
1.) Pick a franchise. You get any player who appeared in at least one game on that team in those years (http://baseball-reference.com/), any year of that player that you like. No clones. You get to keep your franchise every year till.
2.) You must use the stadium from your franchise/year.
3.) You get $100mil to make your team.

5.) 6/2 Average AAA pick 'em ~must be from the season and team iteration, i.e. 2015-2017 if "Cardinals" are your team, then Cardinals get drafted.

I had a deal with admin for the live version of this league where a $10 GC was awarded to the owner who improved his team the most versus how the real life team fared for that stretch. A league staple for years.

Hopefully they renew this agreement for the non-live version

Hi *****,

The most recent ticket referencing this ticket is #111087. Please note that the prize is based on the amount of people in the league.

From ticket #111087:

From what we understand the agreement for your league is the following -
$10 credit if the following criteria is met:
- 50% of the returning owners have to return each season.
- Only returning owners WITH THE SAME team were eligible for the GC.

Please note that when this was agreed to all leagues were 24 teams. Since then we have added the ability to have different league sizes. Therefore the credit awarded to your leagues will be based on the league size so if your league is using less than 24 teams then the credit will be prorated.

With the GC I'm hoping to get owners who want to use their actual favorite teams, in spite of however bad they may be.

Levels the playing field even more, incentive wise. Though every team will be relatively competitive no matter what given the twisting of players.

Also, if anyone wants Boston I will be happy to take another team.
