I have rolled the strat dice for over 2o years but new here. are you able to view other leagues? also i signed up for an auto league to get my feet wet...does it take long for the to fill up? thx in advance

Welcome.

Autoleagues generally fill within the week.

Sometimes the best way to find a league is to click the hyperlink found in the "Leagues Available" thread at the top of the forum. The hyperlink in that thread will show you a current listing of available leagues - both public and private. If a league isn't password protected- just jump on in cause the water is warm.

Find a league from that list that is close to filling (over half way?) and you'll probably be drafting within a week.

If you have any questions at all about the 80's format or the mystery card concept please feel free to ask in this forum. Everyone helps everyone here.

thx for the info in one now. understand the mystery card things is cool, made picking players fun hoping you get the right year. i played the strat during the 80's looking over the players brought back memories and saw alot of my old favs. this should be fun

btw can you look at leagues currently going and the stats of those in it?

Here's an example:

Try different id numbers until you find a league with teams in it.

[url]http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/baseball/stratomatic/80s/team/team_other.html?user_id=76736[/url]

Here's another one. Wavy is right though. The "?user_id=76736" part is what makes viewing the pages correctly. You can try random user id's that you type to the end of the URL to check things out.

The above link is a keeper theme league. Each manager drafted 2 teams and can only use players that played on those two teams - for the entire decade.

Also, you can only use players that played on that roster for that year as well. We've just started this keeper league and we're in 1981. It's really fun.

ty for the info. 81 was the 1st set of strat cards i played in a league with. still rember every player i had.
