Hey guys,
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend. We have started community testing for the live draft feature today. This will continue for as long as necessary to make sure the draft module will be ready to go for everyone. We don't have a good approximation of when it launched yet but we will have a better idea after community testing.
In the last two weeks the user visick started the idea for a Mystery Game Tournament in addition to the two other tournaments for the current game and ATG. After a slow start over 100 people have now signed up to participate in the tournament. If you have signed up, please remember that the tournament will run 4 qualifying events plus a final league for the top 12 managers. Rules for the league are shown below:
$80 million
Advanced
5/10/20% drops
Any stadium
Each league as well as each division, will be randomized.
Round 1: 60's, NO DH
Round 2: 70's, NO DH
Round 3: 80's, DH
Round 4: 90's, DH
The first 2 leagues (60's & 70's) will start about a week apart. At or about the mid season mark of the 60's league, we'll start the 80's league. Then at the mid season mark of the 70's, we'll start the 90's league.
These would be the qualifying events.
The top 12 managers with the most amount of points earned, will advance to round 5.
Round 5 (FINAL) will be put to a vote.
Point System / Tiebreakers
- 1 point for each regular season win
- 5 points for winning a regular season division title
- 5 points for winning the wild card position
- 5 additional points for making the finals
- 5 additional points for winning a league championship
Tiebreakers
1. Championships won
2. Finals made
3. Playoffs made
4. Regular season total wins
5. Pick 3 winner
For anyone who has questions on tournament including how to join the league, please check out the tournament's main page here. We will be opening up a separate forum for it as well as setting up an official tournament page soon.
That's all I have for today. For those interested, a sneak peak of 2013 player ratings is currently being released on Strat-O-Matic's twitter account! You can follow along with the announcements and request players (10 ratings will be released tomorrow based on requests) by following our account here: https://twitter.com/StratOMatic. Already some big names have been released (including Billy Hamilton's steal rating!) with more to come later today and tomorrow!
Talk to everyone next week!
