Looking good for this weekend's deadline. Please have all of your teams in by the end of the day on Sunday

I'll be checking rosters early next week and we'll hopefully get started the following weekend

For the 110M double twist, do you want us to send you our 5 connector players/teams to make things easier?

Whew...I thought we had to be in today. Still building the 110M team trying to find something better than what I have so far. It's a good thing I'm retired and my wife still works!

Lucky you. I cant even come up with a legal team after working on it for about 15 hours total. Plus.... I have 2 projects due Monday, 1 due Tuesday and exams next week starting with 2 on Monday....Plus I work and have to monitor home fermentations....This theme sucks big time.

This is a tough build...I've put in several days trying to build a team. Good luck juggling all of your concerns.

I will be honest. I was really close to bowing out of round 2, due to the theme selections, specially this theme (in it's original format). I just didn't see where I'd find the time to do the necessary research. Once the changes were made, I decided to opt in, knowing that I would probably wait until the final week to work on the $110M theme.

As it turned out, I spent only about 3 hours building my $110M team. The key was to find a team that has a lot of free agents (which means a modern era team). The very first team I looked at had a number of players I could use and I probably got lucky that I could find five players who's rosters didn't intersect.

I have no clue if this team will be competitive, but it does have a lot of players I've used before and that I like. I didn't even bother looking for another team to try, as I was happy top be done with this. It wouldn't surprise me if others found this team as they are somewhat famous in other Twist leagues.

Same here...this theme almost kept me from playing, but decided to give it a go. If I was still teaching and coaching, there would have been no way to continue this round.

The variable cap turned out to be much easier for me than I thought it would be, and I actually ended up with extra time to try to finish a second 110M team and compare them. I didn't love my first one, but it had the advantage of being done and legal. As it turned out, I was able to go back to the first 110 team I'd tried and stopped when the rules questions started, and I liked it quite a lot more than the first one. So I swapped them out.

But I realize that I have no idea what to expect from anyone else's teams, as opposed to basically all the other themes. In theory, you could start with any team from any year and make something out of it. I used one team from the 40s and one from the 60s, and there's no way I would have arrived with the same 25-man roster if I'd picked any other team or year to start from. So this league could really be all over the map. With tons more time, I would have been curious to see what a few different era rosters could have produced for better comparison.

I do think it will be rare in future years for themes to be as challenging as the 110M theme, but at the same time it's good to test the best of the best sometimes

Finally got my last team in, just under the wire
