Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

Here are the items that the final 12 have voted on in the past. It has been majority rules on all the votes.


Which set? Vote for 1st choice (2 points) and 2nd choice (1 point)

Salary Cap. $80M or $100M?

DH: yes or no? Note: You can vote separately by set (e.g., no DH for 60s, but DH for 90s)

"Live" Draft (on the message boards) or Autodraft? If live draft, the drafting order would be based on the final overall standings with #1 in points getting the #1 pick, etc. and then snaking around for subsequent rounds (i.e., round 2 is 12, 11, 10, etc). We probably would aim for 10-12 rounds (an "even" number has been normally deemed the fairest) for the "live" draft (normally taking about 1 week), and then everyone fills out the rest of their draft cards with players not taken in the live draft. The message board draft has worked reasonably well in the past.

Unique Stadiums (i.e., everyone in the league has to have a different stadium)? Yes or No? If auto draft, probably just let owners draft stadiums based on final standings (1-12), if live draft we normally include a draft pick of the stadium as part of the draft.

Repeat Stadiums (can you reuse the stadium from your prior team in that set)? yes or no?

Divisions: random divisions vs. seeded divisions (E:1/6/7/12; C:2/5/8/11; W:3/4/9/10)?

It looks like at least the top 6 in the standings are secure, with the other finalists determined in the next week based on the 90s leagues playoffs.

Here are the teams I think are still in the running for a final 12 spot:

1. gbrookes 402. Max 412
2. BruceF 401. Max 411
3. hallerose 397. Max 407
4. jomboy78 391. Max 401
5. Moodymets 390. Max 400
5. Jimmy_C 390. Max 390
7. Apoptosis 385. Max 395
8. Radagast Br382. Max 392
9. Moodywoo 381. Max391
9. Lee300 381. Max381
9. daveaq31 381. Max391
12. Juiced JC 380. Max 390
15. pushpin76 378. Max 388
16. Delbird 374. Max 384
16. timothyfoster374 max 384
18. RICHARDGAGNON 373 max 383
20. Sphilipp8 371. Max 381

HalleRose-
Thanks for posting that list and for keeping me alive -- I think the odds may be against me but am holding out a glimmer of hope that everything will align as imagine I'm not the only one there. Either way, its been a blast and appreciate all the help as still have a ton to learn. To that point, I'm gathering we don't earn a point per win in the playoffs? I too had the top 6 all but locked in but was thinking those with teams still alive could potentially earn 18 points rather than just 10? My odds would be much better that way so maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part.
Anyways, will cross my fingers on that and try to find where that is posted and good luck to all moving forward. Looking forward to strat making every guy a mystery guy and having the ability to run a keeper league from 1900 to present in that format -- Definitely a different game and thanks to all that made it happen -

I think this is the updated leader board after the semis (in the race for the final 12).

1. gbrookes 402.
1. hallerose 402. Max 407 - finals of league 7
3. BruceF 401.
4. jomboy78 396. Max 401 - finals of league 9 (against moodymets)
5. Moodymets 395. Max 400 - finals of league 9 (against jomboy)
6. Jimmy_C 390.
6. Apoptosis 390. Max 395 - finals of league 8
8. Radagast Br387. Max 392 - finals of league 5
9. Moodywoo 386. Max391 - finals of league 6
10. Juiced JC 385. Max 390 - finals of league 2 (against timothyfoster)
11. Lee300 381.
11. daveaq31 381.
13. Delbird 379. Max 384 - finals of league 4
13. timothyfoster379 max 384 - finals of league 2 (against jucied jc)

The top 10 appear to be secure for the final 12. daveaq appears to the have the tiebreaker of lee300 if they tie for the last spot.
