Random box scores era vs. era 16 in Topic

Who are the best? 1920-1945 power hitters or 2000-2025 modern players?
Random Box score is back in a different version.

AL league = 1920-1945 box scores April 14, 1920-Sept. 29, 1945
NL league = 2000-2025 box scores April 3, 2000-Sept. 30, 2025

When you sign up you pick a league and get a randomly generated date with at least 10 games for your specific date.
You can only use those players from that date on your team. Only pitchers can be twisted. No twists for position players.

90 mil team
no DH
no WW
Twist only pitchers using any year
Yes to below average AAA players, 6/2 real names
No clones, live play,or trades

chronological re-alignment

Choose any stadium from the era of your box score.

200/300K players can fill your roster even they did not appear the day of your box score, they can come from your date's year AND THE YEAR BEFORE YOUR DATE, just so there is enough 300K-200K players to choose from.

The first person to sign up can generate a date for me. I'm taking the 1920-1945
group.

How exactly do you get 10 box scores from 1920-45 when there was 16 teams? I guess there might be a few instances with a full schedule plus not one, but two doubleheaders ... but it's going to take a while to randomly find 12 of them.

Two other questions:
- You can twist pitchers, but not position players, correct? In one spot of the league description you have pitchers twistable, and untwistable in another part.
- The minor league players ... are they manually or randomly added, and are they specific to the year we choose?

Thanks
