Increased wildcard spots from 8 to 16 per league

Oct 9th 2020 By Franchise Ball

We increased the # of wildcard spots per league to 16. After observing the records of teams within each wildcard race, we deemed that adding 8 more would be appropriate given the competitive skill of these teams and winning percentages. Given our analysis, we believe these extra 8 teams can be just as competitive in the wildcard playoffs.

We also increased the number of subscriber wildcard spots from 30% to 40% of the available field. We are confidant this will improve general competitiveness in Franchise Ball. Please let us know if you have any questions, and good luck down the stretch!

Admins :

ohh yeah. it would be awhile before we got it. i did really like the idea though. thank you!

Cougars :

my idea i sent in a couple days ago, just wondering if it can happen and if so can i get credit for it

cougars : which suggestion?

can my suggestion work?

No they dont. If you dont have a wc spot in your league or lead your division, you'll get a subscriber spot if you are in top 40% now (it was 30%)

Franzes :

Do teams in the subscriber wildcard take up spots in the regular wildcard?

extrememly small, because the world playoffs will consist of 90% league champs. also that one inactive wc team would have to win through the wc playoffs.. chances are astronomically low

Cobras :

this will increase the chance of inactive teams going to the world series

7thInningStretch :

why dont we let everyone in the playoffs? lol
