Solitaire tourney using APBA GO's GTOP teams
-
Am excited to embark on a solitaire tournament project using APBAGO’s 100 GTOP teams (plus four others).
I have divided 104 squads into eight 13-team double-elimination divisions. The eight division winners will then play in an additional double-knockout tourney to decide the overall champ.
Rules are fairly simple: Three-man pitching rotations. No Designated Hitters. Injuries lasting 3+ games will carry over for one game. Manual dice rolls.
Teams have been seeded in each division by World Series winners, then World Series losers, then non-Series teams. Teams are then seeded further by their winning percentages.
I expect the tournament will last close to 210 games. I hope to finish just in time for the 2020 MLB season.
The 104 teams & eight divisions are listed below. All teams are from APBAGO’s five GTOP seasons. Plus, I have added the '94 Expos, '15 Blue Jays, '17 Astros and '18 Red Sox to round out the field…

@dbacknate Thanks. Will update how things are going every few months… along with the batting and pitching leaders, as I will be accumulating all tournament stats in Collections. Should be fun.
