Back in the day, and that is indeed the origin of Hugh Jass, manager of the Kentucky Keesters.

guess if you could get enough people to sign up (maybe a 2nd/3rd team if those aren't already used), go for something really challenging like "Iron Man" league (only iron level cards)... or the "Bronze Age" (only bronze level cards).... could be a fun way to get those lower cards some use... course, if/when any non-member team gets placed in your league, they'll probably tear the rest of the teams up, but that's how it goes

if some golds are better than diamonds then what is the point of the rating??

Only problem with this is it's really easy to exploit. I'm just going to run 22 players and all 100s/high 90s. Or, if you force 25 players, I'll just slap on some low 40s I never use.

I think there should be a set limit for each class of player under this system. 3 100s max, 5 diamonds max, 7 golds, 10 silver+, maybe change the breakdown if you want different levels of competition. Makes a lot more sense and much harder to exploit while giving the same idea in spirit. Or just use that one point allocation capped system where perfect =5, diamond=4, etc. mentioned elsewhere.

I liked Orcin's system. 5 for perfects, 3 for diamonds and 1 for golds....under are free and the limit was 50 as I recall. Plus the OVR limit is a royal pain in the arse adding it all up. Orcin's method was easy to tally up.

The only problem I had was not all diamonds and perfects were the same. MLB live players perfects are not as good as PEAK diamonds. I suggest reducing MLB Live Perfects and Diamonds to 4 and 2 points.

I did not do this because it would give too much advantage to those that bought the cheap Live cards. You already got great performance for less money with Trout. If he saved you a point, then everyone would have him.

I don’t think the 2019 live cards are as good, especially with the new definition of peak cards.
