I'll create the leagues over the next day or so

with 11 leagues of 12 teams what are the odds I am in Franky35 league every time?#whoreallykilledkennedy

its over a million to one.

I think those odds are roughly 1/12x12x12x12 = 1/21,000.

I once had Chris Young SP 2007 pitch back to back no hitters. He didn't even walk more than a couple of batters, and I didn't even have a good infield. I calculated the odds of that happening to be astronomical - I actually calculated it, but I'd have to look it up.

For our tournament, for each event, I used a random number generator in MS excel, copied and pasted as a number instead of a formula, and then sorted the list of managers, each with their unique random number, in numeric order. Each event started with the previous events random list. To make it even more random (perhaps), Falcon did the random selection of leagues for event 2.

So, I am very sure it is random. Interesting!

I once had no-hitters in back to back games in a BTT80s league... from Mike Witt and Ray Burris. And if I remember right, Witt's was 11 innings, and Burris's went into the 10th and he got bullpen help to finish it (still a no-no, just not an MLB official no-no). To be fair, this was a 24-team 80s league back when you could still do those, but still... give me the odds on that one!

Are there designated closers for Event 4, similar to the past 3?

Any chance we can get standing updated to include Event 3.???

I've sent a message to the commish but have not yet heard back. Hopefully, leagues should be opening later today.

Since the deadline is coming up within 8 days, and since the commish has been incommunicado, I went ahead and set up League 2. I invite other experienced players to set up their leagues according to normal 90s settings except using "Advanced" rather than "Standard". 80 mil, DH, waivers, 5/10/20.

For League 2, I'll exit once another manager has entered, password = Two.

We need experienced closers to step up, set up a separate post for their league on the message board, and announce themselves as closers and to WAIT to join until the commish says to finish leagues (no earlier than Saturday). If the commish wants to proceed differently, we'll have to leave the leagues, etc. and follow directives from the Commissioner's Office.
