WS Tournament ($200 in prizes, FULL!) Topic

Greatest World Series Team of All Time Tournament
I’ve been playing SLB since 2006, and I don’t think I’ve seen a tournament like this. Hopefully this will be something new, different, and fun.

This will be an 11-season tournament using every team that played in a World Series, from 1903 to 2024. We will exclude 1904 and 1994, as no World Series was played in those seasons. This gives us 120 seasons, and 240 teams.

Now that we are close to full, I am pleased to announce the prizes.
First, WIS has generously agreed to provide $100 in prizes for this tournament. These will be allocated as follows:
$50: World Series winner of round 2
$30: World Series loser of round 2
$10 each: the 2 LCS losers of round 2

Additionally, I will be contributing $100 in GC as follows:
$40: To the owner with the highest cumulative winning percentage in round 1 (you must have at least 5 teams entered in round 1 to qualify for this). In case of a tie, this prize will be split.
$30: Of the 10 WS winners from round 1, this prize will go to the owner whose team had the LOWEST real-life winning percentage. Again, in case of a tie, this prize will be split.
$30: Of the 10 teams (one from each league in round 1) with the worst R-L winning percentage, this prize will go to the team with the best winning percentage in round 1. So the following teams will be eligible: 1908 Detroit, 1926 St. Louis, 1932 Chicago, 1945 Detroit, 1959 Los Angeles, 1973 New York, 1987 Minnesota, 1997 Cleveland, 2006 St. Louis, 2023 Arizona. Again, in case of a tie, this prize will be split.

Round 1 – Ten Leagues
We will simultaneously play the first ten seasons. Each season will include the 24 World Series teams from a 12-year period. League 1 will be 1903-15; League 2 will be 1916-1927; etc. League 10 will be 2013-2024.

League Assignment: Owners may sign up for up to 10 leagues (max of one team per league per owner), but there is no need to signup for all 10. If you prefer baseball from the 1930s, then just signup for a team in League 3. The only advantage to signing up early is to guarantee yourself a slot in the league(s) that you want. There is no other advantage to signing up early because…

…Team Assignment: THIS IS NOT A DRAFT. You are signing up for a LEAGUE, not for a team. Once we have 24 owners in any given league, we will do a random drawing to assign teams from that league. So please ONLY signup for a league if you are fully committed to playing, regardless of which team you are assigned. Someone is gonna have to play the 1944 Browns in League 4.
Details for each league:
24-team leagues, standard WIS format

All NL teams will be in the NL; AL teams will be in the AL.

Divisional alignment will be in chronological order. So in season 1, the NL East will include the 1903 Pirates, 1905 Giants, 1906 Cubs, 1907 Cubs. The AL West will include the 1912 Red Sox, 1913 A’s, 1914 A’s, 1915 Red Sox.

No salary cap
No trades, no WW, injuries off
All teams will use WIS park – you will NOT be using the actual park that your teams played in. (Several people seemed to have missed this.)

For seasons 1-6, we will not use the DH.
For seasons 7-10, we will use the DH in the AL only

You must roster every player who is in the WIS database for your team; no twisting.

No combined seasons; for players who appeared for more than one team, you may only use the partial season that is associated with your team. If the player did not accumulate enough PA or IP with your team to warrant a partial season, you may not use him.

We will use manually drafted AAA, with enough slots to ensure that each team can roster all of its players.
If a team does not have 25 players with eligible WIS seasons, then fill any remaining slots with any $200K season from the database.

HOWEVER: the only players who may appear in games are players who actually played for your team that season. $200K filler players, as well as any SIM-generated AAA, MAY NOT BE USED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. I will provide detailed guidelines on how you can avoid having these players appear in games, but each owner will ultimately be responsible for adherence. Use of any of these players will result in a forfeit of the games in which they appear. Frequent violations will result in disqualification from the playoffs and from participating in the championship round. If you end up with a team that is deficient in PA or IP, those are the breaks*.

UPDATE: On the advice of several experienced, respected owners, I will not be imposing forfeits on teams that inadvertently use $200K players. HOWEVER, it is still the intention of this league that those players should not be used in games, and I have provided detailed instructions on page 5 of this thread. All owners are expected to use and adhere to those protocols.

*Note that there ARE quite a few teams, especially in leagues 1 and 2, that will have a bit of a challenge here. The 1903 Boston Americans, for example, only have 16 eligible players. Now, they do have ample PA (> 5600) and IP (>1460), so fatigue per se will not be a problem, but you will be managing a team with a very limited bench. They are an extreme case, but there are other teams that will be well short of a full complement of 25 players, and you will need to be creative and thoughtful in how you manage, if you find yourself running one of those teams. Note also, that you will likely be in a league and a division where other teams are facing the same problem. So it's by no means a fait accompli that these teams can't contend.

Remember that COMBINED seasons are not allowed. PARTIAL seasons are allowed. So if you drew the 1906 Cubs, you can have the 154 IP partial version of Orval Overall, but NOT the 242 IP combined version.
When you build your rosters, you should have the exact number of players listed above on your team. The maximum number of players needed for this league is 24, so we will NOT have any AAA slots in this league.
Every team in this era has fewer than 25 eligible players and will need to add some $200K players from the database to fill out your roster; please see my post on P5 of this thread, which details how you must arrange your settings in order to avoid having those $200K players appear in games.

*ALSO - I am making one exception in this entire tournament regarding roster rules. The 1918 Red Sox will be permitted to add 1919 SP Jimmy Ring to replace Babe Ruth on the mound. The 1918 Sox have Ruth as a hitter, but (unlike Shohei Ohtani) Ruth is not in the data base as a pitcher, despite throwing more than 200 prorated innings that season. See my post on P5 of this thread for more details.

This was an era when pretty much every starting pitcher was also regularly used in relief; you will likely need to be creative in arranging and using your pitching staff, especially those 1930-31 A's!

Remember that COMBINED seasons are not allowed. PARTIAL seasons are allowed. So if you drew the 1967 Red Sox, you can have the 85 PA partial version of Ken Harrelson but NOT the 368 PA combined version.
When you build your rosters, you should have the exact number of players listed above on your team. The maximum number of players needed for this league is 31, so we will allocate enough AAA players to accommodate that roster size.
There are 6 teams in this era that have only 24 eligible players (64 Yankees, 65 Dodgers, 66 Dodgers, 70 Reds, 71 Orioles, 74 Dodgers) If you have been assigned one of those teams, you will need to add 1 $200K player from the database to fill out your roster; please see my post on P5 of this thread, which details how you must arrange your settings in order to avoid having those $200K players appear in games.

Remember that COMBINED seasons are not allowed. PARTIAL seasons are allowed. So if you drew the 1985 Cardinals, you can have the 82 PA partial version of Cedeno (and lucky you...he's a monster) but NOT the 327 PA combined version.
When you build your rosters, you should have the exact number of players listed above on your team. The maximum number of players needed for this league is 31, so we will allocate enough AAA players to accommodate that roster size.
The only team that should need any $200K filler players is the 1977 Dodgers, as they are the only team with fewer than 25 eligible players. If you have been assigned the 1977 Dodgers, please see my post on P5 of this thread, which details how you must arrange your settings in order to avoid having those $200K players appear in games.

Remember that COMBINED seasons are not allowed. PARTIAL seasons are allowed. So if you drew the 2017 Astros, you can have the 34 IP partial version of Verlander (and lucky you, he's a monster) but NOT the 206 IP combined version.
When you build your rosters, you should have the exact number of players listed above on your team. The maximum number of players needed for this league is 40, so we will allocate enough AAA players to accommodate that roster size.
No team in this league should need any $200K filler players; every team has at least 25 eligible players in the SIM database.
We are into the era of extreme pitching changes, lots of low-IP pitchers, etc....some of these teams are going to have staffs that will be challenging to manage (I'm looking at you, 2024 Dodgers...)
