2021 Mystery Tournament - Final 12 Voting

PostSat Jul 24, 2021 8:50 am

Congrats to the participants who have made it to the final 12. It's now time to start planning for the final 12 league, the winner of which will be the 2021 Mystery Tournament Champion!

At the start of the tournament, we basically stated "same rules as last year" when it came to the final 12, and that means having the 12 finalists vote on a few options of variables that make up the league. Here are the items that require voting:

1. Mystery Set Choose your first choice and second choice out of the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's. Your 1st choice gets 2 points and your 2nd choice gets 1 point.

2. Salary Cap Choose between a $80 million salary cap and a $100 million salary cap.

3. Use of DH Choose whether or not you want to use a DH. Note: You can vote separately by set (e.g. no DH for 60's, but DH for 90's)

4. Unique Stadium Do you want to have "Unique Stadiums" in the finals?[/u][/b] Having Unique Stadiums means that we cannot have two teams in the final 12 league that are using the same stadium. If one team is using Yankee Stadium, no one else can have Yankee Stadium as their ballpark. If Autodraft is chosen, and Unique Stadiums is chosen, we'll have a quick stadium draft on the discussion forum based on final standings (1-12). If we vote for a partial live draft, we will make it mandatory to draft a ballpark as part of the live draft.

5. Repeat Stadiums Vote yes if you want to allow players to use the same stadium that they did earlier in the tournament. For example, if we did not allow repeat stadiums and I used Kingdome in my 80's league, then I would NOT be able to use Kingdome in the finals if the 80's set was chosen. This is not be confused with "Unique Stadiums", which is another variable in #4 above.

6. Divisions Vote for either seeded or random. If you vote for seeded, the final 12 will be distributed in the divisions in this way: E:1/6/7/12; C:2/5/8/11; W:3/4/9/10; If you vote for random the divisions will be randomly generated as they normally are in auto-draft leagues.

7. Draft Type Do you want to a regular Autodraft, or a "partial live" draft, or a "full live" draft on Discussion Forum, or a "full live" draft using the 365 live draft feature? The past several years, we've opted for the partial live draft. If partial live draft is chosen, the drafting order would be based on the final overall standings with #1 in points getting the #1 pick, etc. and then snaking around for subsequent rounds (i.e., round 2 is 12, 11, 10, etc). We probably would do either 10, 12 or 14 rounds (an "even" number is easiest / fairest) for the "live" draft (normally taking about 1 week), and then everyone fills out the rest of their draft cards with players not taken in the live draft. The discussion forum message board draft has worked reasonably well for this live draft in the past. There is also a lot more flexibility with the live draft option for leagues on 365. A time for the draft could be agreed to and a short pick time could be chosen, or a long pick time (many hours) could be chosen and it would run at a similar pace to the partial live via the discussion forum. The drafting order would be based on the final overall standings.

As of right now, here unofficially are 10 of the 12 teams that will be participating in the finals. These teams can start voting on these items now:

just a note on the full live draft option. This would be through SOM's live draft feature which provides a queue and will run much faster than previous years' message board drafts. Also, the commissioner has been in touch with SOM and for the Tournament they can set the draft order in the live draft. I feel that a live draft is more fun than an autodraft.

Unofficial partial vote totals (7 votes in)
So far the voting looks like
1) 60s (8pts), 70s (4), 80s (4), 90s (1), 00s (4)
2) 80 mil wins 7-0
3) a little complicated but 5 for no DH in 60s, and the other decades leaning strongly DH
4) 3 unique / 4 not unique
5) 6-1 allowing repeat stadiums
6) 4 random / 2 seeded
7) 3 live / 4 autodraft
Next
