Let's go guys, just 7 more. It takes a little longer to fill a 24, obviously, but it'll be fun.

And here's another argument for a 24-team league: more free credits per team in the league. According to SOM:
For 24-team leagues:
- the 4 Division Winners: each receive 1 free credit (awarded at the end of the regular season)
- the loser of the Finals: receives 1 more free credit
- the winner of the Finals: receives 2 more free credits

So the owners in a 24 team league receive a total of 7 credits. That's 3.5 credits per 12 teams, while a 12 team league wins just 3 total. And you actually get a guaranteed credit for winning your division, instead of bupkis, even if you don't make the finals.

Sign me up please. Andy, I’ll send you a note with an email to contact me when full if you don’t mind , I don’t follow the boards as much as I used to.l and would not want to cause delay.

Been a while since I joined a random theme league, good change of pace.

I’m working on a list to add that indicates which stadiums are eligible for a manager. Any home stadium that a manager managed in, ANY iteration, is available to that manager.
For instance, since Sparky Anderson managed half of 1970 in Crosley Field, Sparky can use any Crosley, any Riverfront, Cinergy, and any Navin/Briggs/Tiger.


Question: If the manager was also a player will the stadiums include those he played in?
Thinking of joining, but it will take a lot of research.

My only question would be how would the choosing of the mangers be determined?
