1991 Old Time Luck of the Draw Topic

$100M - No WW - No Trades - Yes to AAA (average quality) - No to DH

There is a progressive twist that has been going since 1901, where you get a random team assigned from each year and twist them. Teams are assigned by Luck of the Draw.

League Owners who played last season have first crack at joining the league.

The divisions will be aligned by the winning percentage the team actually had that season. The way we align, even the rotten teams have a better shot at the playoffs, and we all know that anything can happen in the playoffs. Each season the divisions will be realigned according to the winning percentage the teams had. If there is a tie, we'll rank the teams by Pythagorean W-L record, then by run differential, then by runs scored, and if necessary alphabetically.

Once we are full, I'll use the last 2 digits of your owner rating to give out the teams. The lowest number gets the best team. If there is a tie, I'll use the 3rd digit to break it, with the lowest getting the best team. Each year we'll get different teams using the same method.

This is a standard twist league, which means you can use anyone who played for your team that season according to Baseball-Reference.com. You can use any season of their career as long as they made at least one appearance for your team that year. You can use any $200K-225K player from any franchise to fill out your roster. You don't have to take the backups from your actual roster if you want to use $200K-225K players instead.

You must use the stadium your team played in that year. If they used 2 stadiums, you get to pick the one you want.

AAA is allowed (average).

No Waiver Wire.

No Trades.

No clones.

Only one team per manager.
