**FUN with DOUBLES**
.
This league is first-come, first-serve.
.
The goal is to hit as many doubles as possible while still winning over half your games.

The theme league record for doubles is held by Elbirdo. 6,088.
The Champs League record, perhaps more realistic, is held by WaitNSee, 570.
.
The eight teams over .500 (regardless of league) with the most doubles hit will advance to the playoffs.
.
The playoff teams are seeded by total doubles hit.
.
The LCS is set automatically.
.
The better seed has home field advantage in each playoff series.
.
Go ahead and enter your team.

Specifics:
24-Team League
Salary Cap: $100 million

No DH, Clones, AAA, trades,

ADDED BONUS: If the team that hits the MOST DOUBLES also wins the World Series, I will donate my theme league creator credit to that owner.

I will do my best to evenly split the alignment of any Coors/Mile High Stadium teams.

Thanks for running this. I'm in.

One question. Are you going to split up the Coors/Mile High teams up into separate leagues? It is a huge advantage for teams in the same league as those parks.

Answer: Yes

I'm not sure I agree with splitting them up here unless the parks you split up are Baker Bowl, Fenway, and Palace of the Fans.

Mile High is only +1 for doubles and Coors is one of thirteen +3 parks, whereas the ones I mentioned above are +4. The reason Mile High skewed the results so much in the triples league was because it is a +4 park.

Also, unlike the triples league, where most of the +3 options are +1 or +2 for singles, +3 doubles parks are evenly split between ones with +2/+3 singles and +1/0 singles.

Ditto that.

I am looking to join but am curious about one thing: shouldn't the play off seeding be 1 vs 8, 2vs 7, 3vs 6 nd 4 vs 5? I noticed you have it as 3 vs 5 and 4 vs 6.....

That LCS seeding was copied from the triples league. It should look ok now.

They will be seeded by total doubles, regardless of league.

It's not the doubles rating in Mile High or Coors that I'm concerned about, it's the sheer amount of offense generated from those two parks. More ABs = More Hits = More doubles.

In the triples league, there are a number of High-Triple ballparks, but putting the two Colorado parks in the same league gave all the teams in that league a competitive advantage over teams in the other league.

I don't see any reason NOT to split the Colorado parks into different leagues.

No other parks have the same offensive impact, IMHO.

I am leaning the same way. Those teams will require a greater emphasis on pitching depth and/or a beefed up defense.
