BPLA has decreased in size.

I have taken your suggestions, and seen the sizes of other fictional league and decided to decrease the size of the league.
There are currently 5 teams left.

Check it out. The rules are essentially the same, with the exception of the league size.

Just curious. Are you using inter-league play? I didn't see anything about that in the rules page.

If not, you're going to have to drop a couple of more teams. I'm seeing 19 teams listed per league, which won't work without inter-league play. You need an even number.

autarkis33 · 01-19-2003, 04:42 PM

We are using interleague, but I don't understand how you are seeing 19 per league, as there will only be 16 total teams.

MR was probably looking at the available markets part of it.

Modern Relic · 01-19-2003, 05:06 PM

That is correct. My bad.

Will you be editing the current talent pool or leaving it the same?(Or possibly even creating a new one, but you said that was a lot of work)

I feel that the talent needs to be adjusted somehow, because as you stated it is of now a tad bit high.

autarkis33 · 01-19-2003, 06:59 PM

I will be adusting the pool. I would like for there to really only be 2 or 3 dominant batters (ARod, Bonds) and 1 maybe 2 really dominant pitchers. It seems with the pool now, every team will have two 40hr men and 3 Pedro Martinez's in their staff.

I also plan on adjusting the players in the individual positions a little better to reflect position offensive types.

That pool should be up by tomorrow.
