Imagine there is a soccer simulation game in which people realized that if you didn't play a goalkeeper the AI wasn't smart enough to shoot from anywhere and so your extra outfield player gave you an advantage. Sure it's a strategy that works to win the game and isn't breaking the rules, but it also isn't the experience most players are looking for to have fun.

My take is that the rosters should be locked once the tournament starts. You can make changes all you want up to the time the first game is played. In PT and real life you set up your playoff rosters for the whole playoffs, it should be the same in the tournaments.

I have an even more radical idea. Setting up your rosters without knowing your opponent.
When the last team has signed up, the status changes to Set Up Rosters and a timer starts a 10-15 minute countdown. After the timer expires the tournament goes to Preparing and immediately simulates the first game. At the same time locking the rosters. Will this eliminate the exotic line ups, maybe maybe not.

the only question on tournaments is how the pairings are made? There are some 1st round matchups that can be considered for Finals.

Seems likely that the initial brackets are just randomly assigned. Which feels fair to me.

Well lookie here...
Not the most lucrative perfect card you can pull (goes for a bit over 50K these days), but nice to get something decent from a tournament reward pack for a change.

How would a team in tourney play operate with only 3 starters. This is not an opener strategy. Only 0.2 innings have been pitched by a reliever thru 12 games.
They are running three starters, very good starters mind you.. (cy, Walt, Schilling) out on strict order. They all throw around 150 pitches into complete games. Why is fatigue not playing a part in the rotation let alone in a game? Edit: I see it is a deadball era tourney. That answers it.

How about this for a comeback in a decisive G7 of a 1625-cap semi-final.
Did all that damage in the 10th without recording a single out. lol Triple, homer, single, single, double, single, walk, single, single, bases-loaded walk

The Setagaya Wind-Up Birds finally took home a Daily Tourney. We did it in glorious fashion, winning G7 in the bottom of the 10th.
Kieboom hit a homer in the 8th tie it. In the 10th, pinch runner Campaneris stole 2nd - his 16th SB in 36 games - and advanced to 3rd on the throwing error. Judy Johnson ended it with a sharp single through an infield playing in. This was the first pack I opened: All of which to say that these - the tourney result and the pulls - were very highly unusual results for me. Normally, I'm out after the first round. Normally, I'm pulling Live Michael Chavis and five Irons. But two tourney packs after pulling Newcombe, out came aFuture Legend Dylan Cease (91). This good fortune caused me to look at my rather spotty records and actually try to compile what data I could. Well, out of the approximately 95 packs I opened from tourneys (over about 5 weeks of consistent playing), I pulled 4 Diamonds: Live Springer, Live Turner (and actually I've pulled this blasted card FOUR times over the life of this game), and then 91 All-Star Newcombe and 91 Future Legend Dylan Cease. If the Math is right, that's a Diamond pull rate of around 4.2%!

I know its' been said before but it would be a lot of fun to have tourneys for teams whose players are all of one franchise, and a fun wrinkle would be that the home team gets their era-of-pref, which could operate as a sort of "home field."

How about King of the Hill type tournament, with a weird variant entry like X2. All cards OVR must end in 2. The first 2 to sign up play a best of 7, winner gets 200 points and becomes King of the Hill. Takes on the next team on the waiting list. Successful defense gets larger prizes:
500 pts 1 pack 2 packs etc. A different King of the Hill variant every day.

Pretzel Pezullo (40 OVR) just shocked CG 1 ER victory over curt Schilling in the 1625 Cap final. ID108 Bo7
2-0 1.00 ERA over 27 innings on 5 starts to help the Brooklyn Mets to the championship. The prior Game had Montana DuRapau (40) defeat Walter Johnson (PEAK). Anything can Happen

Pretzel threw a CG on June 16, 1935 against the Pirates. That lineup included both Waners and Pie Traynor. He also tossed 8.2 innings on July 22, 1935, again against the Pirates. That lineup included both Waners and Arky Vaughan.
He will always be able to tell his grandkids about that day he beat Schilling

This is a bit of a long thread, so I may have missed it, but, is there any way to see a player's lifetime stats in tournament play? It would be interesting, and helpful to see how these players are doing in the long run.

Nope. Unless you keep them yourself in Excel. (I do not.)
