And STILL Intercontinental Champion. Get used to hearing that because I plan to keep this title as long as I can, because I am the best in the world, and I deserve it! :smug:

Starting on Tuesday of the week and lasting until Carlos Beltran is feeling better, your Intercontinental Champions will be running the following lineup:
Cliff Floyd (RF)
Joe Jackson (LF)
David Wright (1B)
Hank Aaron (CF)
Eddie Mathews (3B)
Jeff Kent (2B)
Jose Reyes (SS)
Mike Piazza (C)
[Pitcher Slot]

For the title unification series, your intercontinental champions will be using this lineup:
1. Joe Jackson (LF)
2. David Wright (1B)
3. Eddie Mathews (3B)
4. Hank Aaron (RF)
5. Jeff Kent (2B)
6. Carlos Beltran (CF)
7. Jose Reyes (SS)
8. Mike Piazza (C)
[Pitcher Slot]

The Pitching shall be
1. Dizzy Dean
2. Catfish Hunter
3. Pedro Martinez (he should be feeling better by then, if not then use Whitey Ford)
Move Eckersley to Closer, Bell to Middle, Franco to Setup, and Pizarro to Long.

Upon the conclusion of the series, your intercontinental champions will switch Aaron to CF and Floyd to RF until Jackson feels better. (don't change Aaron's position in the batting order, and slot Floyd in 6th)

Yeah we're allowed to have fields that are the same dimensions. Also I'm probably not going to be in SLVIII anyway.

I think that you should pack the old teams together and the new teams together (For example, in the Dynamo League, you can use the Daulton League for all the newbies and Grace League for returning teams). I'd also recommend splitting the gauntlet into new teams and old teams to further prune out older teams.

The biggest issue I've seen with these teams is the stagnation of the older teams who only survive by eating up crappy new teams. In every new group, for every R'yleh Cultists there is a Second City Saints and two Old Hoss Radbourns.

Would it be okay for me to do the Juggernaut Challenge on the gauntlet, where I start at the bottom, and have to win the entire gauntlet each round to survive?
I kinda want to do that. Doesn't even have to be for any reward.

-Senerio does not wish to continue his Saints into Super-League VIII, but is even less inclined to let the Bulldogs survive because of a long-standing grudge between the two owners. Therefore, the Saints, if they survive the final round of the Gauntlet, will give their spot in Super-League VIII to the third-place finisher in Round 8 of the Gauntlet, if the Bulldogs end up being last in the final round of the Gauntlet.


My specific issue is with the fact that the Portland Bulldogs have taken advantage of the new owner 11th point without being punished. Sure, you can argue with the fact that the loss of dispersal draft picks would be enough of a punishment, but I feel that is far, far too little, especially because he had already vacated a pick and was all the way down at #14. That I cannot abide.
