The Biggest Loser in Strat is…

Who is the biggest loser in Strat? It might be YOU!

I’m starting a sign-up page here to gauge interest in traveling to The Upside Down. I’ve emailed Strat 365 for prior approval and I propose the following theme league:

The Upside Down

Teams will compete to have the worst record possible. Strat365 has agreed to reset the playoff teams to reflect the teams with the worst record (unfortunately, the Commishioner gadget won’t allow much of this). The worst teams will compete in the semifinals and the losing teams will advance to the finals. The loser of the Finals will get two credits, with the runner-up garnering one as well.

To make this work, Strat365 has agreed the statistics from this league will not be documented. You will not torpedo your personal winning percentage by participating. Furthermore, no one will be incentivized to run a “winning” team out against you for personal reasons. This is the resurrection of a concept started, I think, about 15 years ago, which was sabotaged by the infamous “Nicole” persona who drafted a traditional team with the hope of going 162-0. If I remember correctly, she hilariously lost two games anyway! :lol:

I don’t know if it’s just me who thinks this is interesting, so I’m throwing this sign up out there to see if anyone else thinks this might be fun. I’d love to do a 24 team league, but I don’t want to get out over the skis. 11 other managers will be just fine, too.

So, if you think you really suck at Strat, here’s your chance to prove it.

Sign up today!

This season, 2021 Actual. I’ll take opinions on salary cap, but it will be low. I’m thinking in the $30 mil range, but $40 mil might be okay too. Enough room to move, but not so much to do daily lineup replacements from the FA pool.

One of things I was hoping to see happen, was for some of the original managers to get shaken out of the bushes and retell the details of the old story. So much has changed with the game and the manager functions we have now. Do you steal more to run into outs? Or do you steal less to keep your 1-6 E runners from accidentally getting into scoring position? :lol:

Several teams running out sub $1 player rosters still managed to win over 100 games TRYING TO LOSE. I guess you can’t underestimate just how hard this will be. And for all the managers bemoaning the release of 1998, here’s what’s really a unique player set hiding in plain sight. :geek:
