MLB Showdown Cards

2011 Team Tournament First Round Series

We need people to volunteer to player series using 2011 teams (the 20 person team that come with the set). The request we have is that everyone keep the stats of their series and then send them back to us on the blog. This will allow us to see all 600 cards in action. This also gives people the chance to have some bragging rights for your favorite team. This is going to be a 30 team tournament (Rangers and Cardinals get a first round bye). All series are 7 game series (first to 4 wins). When requesting games just check in with comments or via E-mail with Redsoxman2011@gmail.com. We will put up a post of official rules for the league up here in a following post. It will be a pure league (no strategy cards with no limit on stealing and intentional walks). Here are the first round match-ups. Once you make a claim I will update on this page. To make a claim send and E-mail or put a comment at the bottom of this post. 

Game will likely be easiest played on Google hang outs using the Dice app http://jonswope.com/2012/05/29/fair-dice-in-google-hangouts/

In person games are allowed if you have people who are wanting to play in person. Remember the point of all of this is to collect data so we can make more educated judgements about players. Without further ado here are the first round match ups
