100 mil theme, do you have to use players from all of your cloned player's seasons or can he be a stand alone in certain years?

Good question. There is no restriction on the teammates you use.

In the 255 million theme, by different season for Round 2 do you mean just a different season for each player than you used in Round 1 (Example I used all 1961 players in Round 1 then I could use all 1962 players in Round 2 since they will all be different than I used in Round 1) or

Do you mean that all my players I use in Round 2 must be unique years (Example I can not have 2 players from 1962, 3 players from 1950, etc.)

Neither.

Let's say you roster 1888 Silver King, 1888 Elton Chamberlain and 1921 Babe Ruth in the 255M theme in Round 1. That's fine, but then you'll need to use a different season of Silver King, Elton Chamberlain and Babe Ruth for the 110M league in Round 2.

I guess I am still confused. In your example can I use both the 1889 Silver King and the 1889 Elton Chamberlain in the second round?

Yes, there are no restrictions. You just need to use the same 25 players, albeit different years of their's than you used in around 1

Even planning for Round 2 in that theme would be so presumptuous on my part ... but then again, I guess you can't totally ignore it.

Since we may have to submit both rosters before Round 1 I really didn't want to put them together and then have to redo it because I misunderstood the rules whether I am making the second round or not.

I got confirmation from site staff that there are no dynamic pricing updates on the agenda before the end of the year, so you will NOT need to submit your Round 2 roster at the same time as your Round 1 roster.

That’s the dilemma. Do you build the best team for Round 1 and rack up the wins but potentially handicap yourself in Round 2? Or do you play Round 1 more conservatively and risk not making Round 2 at all?

65 mil question. Say I choose to use the 1960s and 1980s as two of my decades...does the 25th player ignore the rule about using consecutive decades? Meaning I can use someone from the 70s as my 25th?

In the 90M league, does the restriction apply to fielding grades at pitcher for position players?

Good question. I'm going to be using the Theme League Wizard to enforce the restriction.
  • Player Group --> Position Players
  • Fielding --> D- to D+
  • Range --> D- to D+
  • Defensive Restrictions --> All Positions
I'm not sure if that includes pitcher but I would assume it does.

Thought I had a Coors team I could be happy with, then just realized I'd built a $100M team instead of $90M. smh
