Increased wildcard spots from 8 to 16 per league
Oct 9th 2020
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!

Is anyone still writing articles?
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
Admins :
cougars : which suggestion?
Cougars :
can my suggestion work?
Admins :
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?
Admins :
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
why dont we let everyone in the playoffs? lol
