Official Tournament Rules

Follow the link above to the CONTEST ENTRY FORM to enter the tournament. Entries must be received by October 4th, Noon EST.
The first 256 entries will go into the big bracket and be eligible for the winner's prize below, and we'll adapt and run additional smaller brackets as needed.
Pick one team from your managerial past and the season you want to bring them back from. You can change your mind and resubmit until the deadline.
You'll be entered in one huge bracket, with a best-of-seven series deciding each round.
Your roster will be any player that saw game action after the trade deadline that season - essentially it's how the team looked at the end of that season.
Your team will be made available to you by October 4th - at that time you'll be able to change lineups, pitching rotations, manager settings, and stadium settings as you see fit - we're using Classic sim model. Managers can't modify their teams after each series starts, so plan accordingly for seven-games.
We're going to run the games throughout the day, and we should be able to make it through the bracket from Thursday to Sunday.

What do I win?

Everyone that enters the contest: We will send you TWO random packs of baseball cards circa 1985-1994, no strings attached - when you register for the contest, you'll get a confirmation email that includes the link to tell us where to send the cards.

The winner of the tournament: We will send you a BOX of unopened 1987 Topps cards, surely the most beloved set of the time. You'll also be invited to chat on a podcast if you are into that kind of thing, we'll laud your victory far and wide, and you'll have fun.

The league with the highest participation: We will be making a $500 contribution to the Roberto Clemente Foundation in the name of the league from which the most teams are entered. The RCF does a lot of good work including support of free baseball clinics for kids around the country. Read more: Roberto Clemente Foundation

This tournament is a way to say thank you for the time you've spent us, and we'd love to get some old faces back that we haven't seen in awhile - if you know anybody that might enjoy dusting off one of their old teams make sure to pass this tourney info along.
