New Cities for Expansion Teams

April 08, 2008 at 06:01PM View BBCode

celamantia also created some logos for some new cities, 16 new cities in all. These include places such as Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, and others...

I've made a number of backend changes to allow for this, a number of very minor changes on many pages. Let me know if you see anything.

For the timebeing, we are only going to allow Expansion teams to use these new cities. It will be a way for us to test it out a bit without having to write code for every signup area. And it will be a way to get more people interested in Expansion teams.

So I'd like to run an Expansion draft with some new cities and teams. Let me know if you're open to having your team reshuffled and please pick a city from this list (from your same league, AL or NL)

NL
Arizona
Atlanta
Colorado
Florida
Houston
Los Angeles
San Diego
San Francisco

AL
Los Angeles
Minnesota
Oakland
Seattle
Tampa Bay
Texas
Toronto

I'll take LA as an expansion team.

And now that you're writing the code for this I'll start working on an alternate set or two of logos for these 16 cities.

If we are talking about the Beta League, I would like to move the NYA Zeolites to Seattle as an expansion team.

I'm going to throw CIN into the mix for betauser and give them San Diego.

Ok, just to be clear... you guys are okay having your team involved in the expansion draft right?

If that changes anyone's mind, let me know.

I haven't had time to get attached to my team yet so I don't mind redrafting it.

Ok, I've set you up Chris with LAN. To properly test this, I need one person who wants to take STL and another who wants to take a 2 letter city (SF, SD, or TB). For the other guys, let me know if you want to help with one of those.

Poppa, can I give you Tampa Bay instead? Or another AL city?

Tampa Bay is AOK.

Alright, I'm going to give betauser STL then.

I'll set these up today or tomorrow, give you guys a couple days to set Expansion draft prefs while we speed through the rest of this season.

You are viewing the raw post code; this allows you to copy a message with BBCode formatting intact.
I'll take whatever is available. I also havn't been attached to my team so I don't mind reshuffling.

Milwaukee will move to St. Louis if that helps as this team was ignored for so long I will be happy to get some new players and haven't got attached to these new guys.

Remind me... when we do an expansion draft are all the players lumped together then
    ABE builds your team based on your preferences?

    or

    do owners set their preferences for each position as we had to do when drafting the original team?

OK, the Basilisks would like to take this opportunity to move the franchise to Oakland.

Time to move WEST.

Is the old league going to continue to run so that we have a league alignment similar to the modern era?

Actually Tyson, I'd like to have TB (Philadelphia) so if poppa wants SD that's great for me. If not I can stay in the NL with SD

Ok, I'm going to go with 7 Expansion teams so I don't have to re-write the Expansion draft code to make this work. So we have these 7 teams exiting:

BOS, DET, KC, NYA, CIN, MIL, STL

I'm going to set everyone up with their expansion teams.

Casey- here's how an Expansion draft works:

Alright, I am going to add some extra games to the schedule over the next 4-5 days, we will run the Expansion draft early next week.

Please set your expansion draft prefs by logging into the new team you see under My Teams.
