All of the following new features are now available in YOUR Strat-O-Matic Baseball: Back to the 80's game.

[b:211cf21ae8]Variable Salary Caps[/b:211cf21ae8]
Set up your teams and league with a $60M, $100M or $200M salary cap, in addition to the standard $80M.

[b:211cf21ae8]Frenzy option[/b:211cf21ae8]
You may now set up your league to bypass the standard post-draft Waivers period and go straight to the maniacal zoo that is the first-come, first-served Free Agent Frenzy. Note: Beginners are STRONGLY urged to stick with the standard Waivers system.

[b:211cf21ae8]Weighted Waivers option[/b:211cf21ae8]
You now have the option to set up your league so that the post-draft Waiver Priority list is ordered by [i:211cf21ae8]weight[/i:211cf21ae8] of draft picks lost, instead of just by the [i:211cf21ae8]count[/i:211cf21ae8].

[b:211cf21ae8]Home/Road splits[/b:211cf21ae8]
Track home and road stats for each player on your team!

[b:211cf21ae8]Headlines from around your league[/b:211cf21ae8]
Who threw a shutout last night? Who hit his 50th homer? Which team just closed to within 2 games of you? Daily headlines bring the stories from around your league right to you.

[b:211cf21ae8]Award Voting Report[/b:211cf21ae8]
All season long, find out who's ahead in the MVP, Cy Young, Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, and Fireman of the Year awards for your league. Also, see who the virtual "fans" are voting for as your league's All-Stars!

Please enjoy responsibly and thank you for your continued patronage.

Thank you very much Bernie. :D

It clearly shows why some guys have songs written for them!! This would be a great place for Yountfan to re-post his top 40 release... " Hey Hey Bernie"!!

This is great news. Thanks for your efforts Bernie.

Very nicely done!

No need to run you for President...we'll just name you KING!

Sweet! I'm looking forward to the Awards voting. With the mystery card format we may get some unusual awards winners!

Bernie, this is awesome stuff. You probably see, the same names that are posting here are the faithful that stuck with you through the challenges of the winter.

I have 10 credits stacked up, I can't wait to start using them up on new themes.

thanks again,

Sean

can't wait for the first frenzy............

I reworked the infamous "Hey Hey Bernie" in to [b:98a6846559]"Thank You Bernie"[/b:98a6846559] as a token of my appreciation for changes to the 80's game. Now if BJ Simpsom can rework his manifesto we'd be on to something good.

[b:98a6846559]Thank You Bernie[/b:98a6846559]
Bernie for President, Bernie for King
Look at all the changes he can bring
Hey Hey Bernie

This can't be real it must be a dream
I feel like a kid waiting for ice cream
Hey Hey Bernie

We're gettin' variable salary caps
I can't believe it - home and road stats!
Hey Hey Bernie

Some people said it couldn't be done
But you just put the zip back in our fun
Hey Hey Bernie

It's time to go and buy some five-packs
My wife said it's lonely living with a Strat-Rat
Hey Hey Bernie

Here's a big thank you from the YountFan
I gotta tell the world [b:98a6846559]Bernie's the man!
Thank you Bernie[/b:98a6846559]

YountFan scores a number one hit with Thank you Bernie!!!

Cant wait to see the changes on Monday. I will be looking to join a league with a frenzy next week. Way to go Bernie!
