I want to host a simple little tournament to see who is the best of ALL of SOM. That's right, not just 200x or ATG, we're going around the world and paying them all (and yes I suck and the mystery card games).

Here's the gist. We will each play one season of each current format. This means one of each of these seasons in this order: BTT80's, 1969, BTT70's, 1986, 2007 and ATG4. You must play each of these to be eligible to win. You must be around to play all 6 please.

Every league will be 80mil progressive cap (if available) and DH will be used in BTT80's, 1986, 2007 and no DH will be used in BTT70's, 1969 and ATG4. Every league will just be straight autodraft, no assigned divisions.

We will start each season 1 month after the other, so say BTT80's starts August 11th, the goal is then to gave 1969 start Sept 8th, and so on.

Scoring will be as follows:
1 point for every win.
10 points for winning your division.
5 points for winning the WC.
10 points for making the finals.
10 points for winning the Titles.

Whomever has the most points after the 6 events will be the SOM of the World Champion, and I will mail then an actual trophy for them to keep (dude, I'm not rich, it's the best I can do).

We need people to join in multiples of 12, so if there ends up being 29 people to join for instance, I'm sorry but the last 5 to join will be left out.

I will wait as long as possible to get enough people to join but there will be an eventual cut-off. if I get enough signups, Bernie can open us up a separate thread.

I will also need some help from any veterans to help commish individual leagues, please when signing up if you are willing to help, let me know.

Current standings as of 10/12 games:

keyzick 102
durantjerry 98
Red Beards 94
TheGoodDoc 91
springer0432 92
geekor 89
ldanred 82
guardian154 77
azavarella 74
Jack377 73
Runnin' Rebel 71
BoDean 65

BTW, I know I didn't label any tie breakers, so here they are (in case it is necessary)

Tie breaker #1: No. of titles
Tie breaker #2: No. of division champs
Tie breaker #3: No. of playoffs

If somehow it's still a tie, I will add up the total run differential of the 2 people.

And remember , BTT70's is next, though we are still 3 weeks away.

Well I've lucked out in BTT80's...hope it holds true through BTT70's

I've got the jinx of a 100 win season heading into the playoffs tonight. Would love to start out Geekor's tourney with a championship though!!

Name Wins + bonus

Guess you called that one, losing the first 2 games at home!

Congrats to TheGoodDoc for winning the title in BTT80's!

Too bad, I would have had a nice little lead with ten more points. Not unexpected though, as it extends my 80's finals losing streak to five.

Getting close to loading the 70's season? How the standings looking so far?
