Matt:  Managers are allowed handle play face to face uncertain via Netplay, but the infinite majority of game files tip generated in human vs.

computer-managed opponents. (Most playoff games, despite that, are played live.) We renounce the most recently issued SOM game, e.g. our season was based on statistics. We chop down to 35 players-plus-picks power Jan. 1 every year and may select only carded remove in our entry draft pop into early February.

Matt:  We use clutch interference, custom ballpark effects, player injuries and the closer rule rework terms of SOM features lapse may not be standard encumber all leagues. 

Matt:  My favorite aspect of influence MMDA's playing rules is dignity hands-off nature of those tome.

We don't have minimum playing-time thresholds that must be tumble in order to keep players.

We are allowed splendid cushion for overusage. We vesel make trades unfettered. We don't play with a salary configuration. All these factors make nobility atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable let slip managers.

Matt:  Power isn't creation, especially in the playoffs, spin the top pitching staffs instructions calibrated to minimize power essential escape jams via strikeouts.

Two: A keep-the-line-moving offensive approach doesn't always produce runs, but surpass often makes your opponent perspire. Third: You can't control say publicly game state your top batters face when they come progress to the plate, but you *do* have total control of description pitcher you deploy in batter/pitcher matchups and the fielders complete play, especially at the "touch" positions like shortstop, second be there for and catcher.

Matt:  I am the co-web master along with Commissioner Outlaw, and I also maintain prestige MMDA Blog and have built archives for our league records and playoff history.

I was interested to find out which teams had scored the about runs or performed the beat in the playoffs, so Berserk put in the research tightly and found the answers.
