Holy poop this team actually won Good series Devo, good season all. So what's next season's theme? I've got a suggestion if there isn't a set one: division all star teams. Everyone gets a division and a year (starting in the Wild Card era, which I believe was 1995). $80mil, DH depends on league, stadium has to be from that division. This may work best with a blacklist too so we don't have a zillion Madduxes and Pedro's and Bondses E: also, all star rules apply: every franchise in the division must have 1 representative ManifunkDestiny fucked around with this message at 16:41 on Jul 23, 2014 |

I've never entirely understood how Rule V works, only tangentially hearing about the Rule V league, but I've wanted to try it for years because I feel left out when I'm not involved in things. So I'm up for that.

Here's a post from WiS about Rule Vquote:Originally created many moons ago by examinerebb, this league makes any franchise a contender (the Angels and Twins have won recently), and a better group of owners can't be found on the site. There is much good-natured banter in the draft thread and the league chat, so bring your sense of humor. The rules are simple: I think the last time we were going to make it a little more restrictive, but this could be a fine outline.

If we do rule V, i'll probably sit this season out too. I got tired of the theme after doing it like 3 times, and also i'd hold all of you up since I really can't get on at work.

Goon Rule V is a fair bit different than the forum league since I did 100m cap and three potential thefts instead of two in the past. I'd certainly be down for it since the early response is favorable.

Speaking of response, Jeff will play as per the Twitter

A lower cap makes scrub teams like the Rays and Rockies a little more viable

Devo posted:A lower cap makes scrub teams like the Rays and Rockies a little more viable it doesn't magically give them good pitching. low cap erodes what makes rule 5 cool - "use the best players from your really limited pool". i admit there are, like, 3-4 teams that might not be viable but the three steal rule will force the tippy top teams back to the pack a bit so that'll be nice. like, the only teams that are out-and-out unplayable are the rays, the d'backs, and maaaaaaaaaaybe the white sox???

I mean I'll play either way but some of these teams get pretty silly at 120 mil. Even with three steals teams like the Dodgers can magic together a 120 mil pitching staff pretty easily. Plus I always find it more interesting when lesser used players get thrown into a league.

i'm down for rule v. Love That League as far as cap goes 100 or 120 both sound fine to me, 120 gives teams like the a's and dodgers an advantage but i don't think it's enough to really gently caress poo poo up as far as goon leagues go. if twfan was in here i'd say 100 for his own protection but he isn't, so

Is there a cap that gives you a natural advantage in the ToC based on the structure of that tournament? I've never understood how that gets pieced together.

Ivan Drago posted:Is there a cap that gives you a natural advantage in the ToC based on the structure of that tournament? I've never understood how that gets pieced together. Strong ToC teams are near the cap for their tournament with no DH and no real filler. Even though my ToC tournament hasn't started I can tell you I'm going to get blasted because A) I'm spending money on 9 position players when I can only use 8 B) I'm spending money on AAA guys that are pretty lovely C) I'm not really that close to the 110 mil cap I got put into Theme leagues that put out strong ToC teams have no DH and no AAA. That way you're using all your assigned cap with no waste.
