Here's my latest game as we gear up for Spring Training. Prizes to be determined, but as always, the winners should be happy.
Anyone can join until I close this thread in the next day or two.
What is the Alphanumeric Baseball Challenge (ABC)?
ABC is mystery/historical/fantasy baseball game. Contestants assemble their franchise by selecting encrypted alphanumeric codes. Each code corresponds to a unique individual, ballpark, season, and/or statistical category.
The franchise owners having the 3 highest combined scores win!
The game will run over the next several days. Once this signup thread is closed, I'll explain how to decode your team and how the scoring works.
In order to participate in this game, contestants are required to score their own franchise. Basic math/calculator skills required. Nothing else.
HOW TO ENTER
Players
Enter two codes for each.
The first code must be between A1 and J10 (A1 to A10, B1 to B10, …J1 to J10). There are 100 possible combinations for this code.
The second code must be between A1 and Z15 (A1 to A15 … Z1 to Z15). There are 390 possible combinations for this code.
Example:
Starting Pitcher 1: B7, L3
Managers
Enter two codes for each.
The first code must be between A1 and J10 (A1 to A10, B1 to B10, …J1 to J10). There are 100 possible combinations for this code.
The second code must be a letter between A and G.
Example:
Manager 2: B7, D
Ballparks
Enter one code for each.
The code must be between 1A and 315J (1A to 315A, 1B to 315B, …. 1J to 315J). There are 3,150 possible combinations for this code.
Example:
Ballpark 4: 208F
Copy/paste your codes in the template below add it to this thread. Edited entries will be omitted, so be sure to have a complete entry when you submit.
The mystery element of this game is not knowing what your franchise looks like until after you've assembled it. Your franchise will be revealed one step/day at a time.
Any questions, just ask. If you don't know where I'm going with this...that's the point. If you go along for the ride, I think you'll have some fun.
Good luck!
