The 1980 Regular Season Thread
I had a request because of various circumstances to possibly hold up until 10:15 tonight to start. So we might start a few minutes late tonight.

My wife says I am in a crabby mood again tonight, so I'm sure I will take it out on this season. I forsee no team with an ERA under 5!

Good luck, everyone.
I think I shot myself in the foot tonight. I spent too much time on a lost cause in another forum, and didn't spend the time I needed to tonight in properly setting up my lineups. I know I have the talent, but that's rarely enough. So I guess we'll see how I do (I predict badly).

You might want to go those teams that "didn't export" and do the import file from their team. You might get a few others...

Wow, can we run AI lineup on his, then, or something? Muns is far too active to let his season go to crap for one trip up. He doesn't have any lineups/pitching set at all.
Of course, the AI will probably just screw it up even worse.

With the teams that had more than 25 players on their roster, I sent anyone without a major league contract back to the minors. If they still had more than 25, I sent down people who did not play in the majors the previous season (as long as it did not cripple them at a position), and if they still had too many, I tried to make what I felt the best call as possible. I'm sure not all cases were the best, but I want these teams to still be competitive.

Yea, that is unfortunate for Muns. Not sure how often everyone else exports but I do it three times every time just to get that warm and fuzzy that it went through. On a side note if Muns team wins the RL with an AI setup the CL champ should be really worried.

If there is still time, I'll export ASAP. But I also have another issue....my minors don't have the 25 men rule covered. I was setting up minor league contracts earlier when I realized it was too late.
Again, sorry for the screwups still learning here.... |

If you're ever unsure of your exports and, for some reason, can't get to the game to see if you sent one, just have a look at http://omnivore.us/reports/ for your team number, and make sure the date looks good.
(Team numbers can be gotten through the FOOL HTML, as Alan mentioned earlier) |

It might be a good idea to include this in a stickied thread, and also list all team numbers in that same post. (Not saying kaos should do it, I was just thinking it would be a good idea for someone to do it--I might if I find the team #s, haven't looked yet).

So what happens when you go over the cap? And how did I anyway? I signed players until it said I didn't have money left to sign, which I was thinking was attached to the cap limit?

Did you bring anyone up for spring training? That will put you over the cap, although you drop under if you put them back down in the minors again for the season. Of course, since you had issues tonight getting an export in, any player you brought up for spring training would still be up there.

If you had 27 or more players on your roster your cap violation was probably from callin up minor league players. If you go to the front office on the file you exported it should give you the new number after sending players down.

Sorry for the delay, I didn't head one of Dark CLoud's suggestions when he passed the league and didn't verify the schedule. So I'm having to piece part of it by hand. Probably another 10 minutes. I'm fast but I want to make sure it is correct

Yea, I am not sure why pasting from a text editor does that. The stupid part is it shows up fine until you post it.
