Why the Heck not another tourney -waitlist Topic

We will have a 3 season tourney, and will stagger the start of the seasons a week apart. I will announce deadlines for entering each team, just keep in mind you will have a few extra weeks to get the 2nd and 3rd teams in...

This time instead of using cumulative scoring for awards, each league is separate. Everyone gets 3 shots at winning something. ..

Admin will kick in $10 for each league, plus I will donate my $12.95 theme founder credit to the WS winner in each league. The $10 for each league will go to the WS runner up. No one needs to enter a GC for this....

2. From another division, fill out the rest of your pitching staff. Limit 7.
3. From another division, select your 8 primary position players. Understand that you may use platoons here. The spirit of the rule is that these will be the players that play the majority of games at their respected position. All must have a minimum of 450PA/162. Limit 8.
4. From another division, select your remaining position players. Limit 7.

For this exercise, divisions are set this way, so search accordingly:

Theme notes

The Pentathlon theme is fun. We are just finishing up a $100M version, with some very interesting choices...Some worked well, others not so much...I don't care who you play where, as long as the draft center lets you enter your team, we are good, as long as you only use 5 different players.

Can you cover 8 different spots in the field with just 2 guys, or do you need 3? At $100M there were some guys I wanted to try but wouldn't fit under the cap.
How much are you willing to sacrifice on defense for a guy with several great hitting seasons? There are some guys that play 3 or 4 infield positions, others perhaps catch and play first. Some play first and in the outfield. Can you come up with something that will work?

How many different pitchers do you need? There's more than a few very good pitchers with a handful of very good seasons. Can you make it work with just 2? You're gonna have to figure out how to fill that bullpen without wasting a bunch of money, and put together a decent bench without ******* away too much cash...It ain't easy, but there are options...

The 3,000 hit theme is pretty much straightforward, but notice we are using 1920-2019 pitchers only...that will give it a bit of a wrinkle...there might be a ball or two going over the fence? We are going with modern pitchers in the 3rd theme too, so I made sure we could use all pitching seasons in the 1st theme...
