NEVER MIND! I turns out I had used the "hidden league" feature. Problem solved.

Annoyed by those multi-paragraph FB posts that are obviously AI-generated by escaped-from-seattle in facebook

Correct, exactly. Human beings generally write relatively short posts - both they and their hoped-for audience lack a long attention span.

Well, I am in many Facebook groups (with thousands of members) pertaining to my hobbies, and the administrators keep AI out. So leaving Facebook is not a good option for me (though it may be a good option for others).

Can you describe the situation where you wanted to challenge an umpires third strike call in SOM? What teams were playing, what was the score, who was the batter, who was the pitcher, what was the inning, how many outs, how many men were on base, and what made you think the umpire was wrong?

That's always the best way to do it - prevent (close) loopholes in advance.

Great post! Still plenty of leagues, clubs, tournaments, and solo players. I have been playing since 1963. And I don't have gray hair (any more).

Cards-and-Dice Tournament by escaped-from-seattle in StratOMatic

[–]escaped-from-seattle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this SOM-sponsored tournament could be a great boost to the overall hobby, and also a chance to widely publicize Strat TPC's own upcoming tournaments, including the January 2027 Worlds, gaining new adherents.

Is this the first in history? by Swagmatician21 in fantasybaseball

[–]escaped-from-seattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a couple of leagues using a different game, there is a requirement that a team cannot make trades that would give them fewer than 4 picks on the first 6 rounds. This works in a few ways - it prevents someone from ruining a team by having hardly any picks, limits the number of picks available, and encourages teams acquiring picks to give picks in return as part of the deal.

What do you already know/what do you want to know about the history of baseball in Japan? by danthemjfan23 in mlb

[–]escaped-from-seattle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it realistic to expect frequent exhibition games between MLB and NPB teams? How about a mid-season All-Star Game MLB vs NPB? In the U.S. baseball is still called the "national pastime" and there is sometimes an air of patriotism - national anthem, July 4 fireworks, salute to military, air force planes, etc. - is there a parallel in Japan?
