Looks like we're getting close! Just looking at the leagues I'm in, on average, 17 of 24 teams have been entered. Big thanks and kudos to the commishes for keeping up with everyone and completing roster reviews.

Just from this limited view, it appears the theme giving people the most trouble is the $80M "double twist" format. I will say I probably spent more time on that one than any of the others, but I didn't feel it was the most difficult. The main challenge in completing that roster, at least for me, was the "no 300k exception." It was tough to find those last 1-3 players who were > $300k but didn't push me over the cap.

Can't wait to get started!

I’m a little worried to point this out at this point, but the 80m is the one and only theme that allows 300k exemptions. You can use any player from any year and any team as long they are under 300k.

I keep finding teams for the $100M that would work around $70M, and teams for the $70M that would only work around $100M.

For the $80M:

To make things easy on our league commissioner, should we sitemail them with the team we chose to twist from? Additionally, should we submit our Round 2 roster via sitemail to ensure it, too, is valid?

Yes, please sitemail your commissioner your selected team.
No, the is no reason to build, or submit, your Round 2 team at this time.

All 6 teams submitted. My writeup is done. Ready to rock and roll.

Personally, I thought the "Heavy Hitters" was my favorite theme to build. It didn't require a bunch of research, just some tough choices.

realizing I may have misunderstood something on the $140M league. I get that sim eligibility gives you the number of required teammates. but if a season is not sim eligible, are you still permitted to use it for a teammate?

to use the Spahn example, he played 21 seasons, but 1942 is not sim eligible so you only need to draft 20 of his teammates. can you use a player from the the 1942 Boston Braves as one of his 20 teammates, even though it's not one of the 20 sim eligible seasons?

No.

One teammate for every calendar year in which your anchor has a WIS eligible season. So, in the Spahn example, no teammate for 1942. You would need one teammate for every year from 1946 to 1965 and 5 Spahn clones.

A helpful tip for those building your $100M rosters. Make sure you choose season type "FULL/PARTIAL" before you enter any other of the search parameters. It's really easy to forget to do that when switching from hitting to pitching and vice versa. Then you get through a complete build only to later realize you have a "COMBINED" season and it screws up your entire build.

I bet a bunch of illegal rosters will be entered in the 100M theme. (Probably true at 140M as well, but fixing the 140M roster will be much easier).

This was the most common roster error - affecting dozens of people. In fact, even the very last team entered (by milest) also needs to be fixed due to this error.

It sure would be nice if those with roster errors would check their sitemail more than once every 3 or 4 days. Still waiting for a few people to fix their rosters.

Also, a few changed their rosters very late without letting their commissioner know. At least one introduced roster errors where non existed before.
