Someone tell me how to easily swap a player. Can't commish just do this for me

Only you can (prevent forest fires and change your lineup).

On the Team Center page click the lil red (arrow) button next to the league name/number.  That will bring you back to the draft center and you can swap your player for the right one.  From there, you can rejoin the league.

Has everyone won a WIS in this division?

If we had WIS bracelets like the World Series of Poker ... our division would basically be Zales. Seven or eight titles among the four squads (can’t remember if jfranco has one or two).

@Doug B I think that makes what, 9 rings between the four including BTTF? Prolly 15 WS appearances?

Let's see ...

rodg said he has 1.
I have 2.
You have 3.
jfranco said 2.

That was my original count of eight. No idea about the number of WIS appearances (lost my old 2014 spreadsheet of that info when I switched jobs last   :(   ). Some of those details might be posted in a thread on this forum, though -- that info will be somewhat out of date, missing the last four (maybe five?) BTTF seasons.

Not to upset @the moops, but I got four good buddy.  :banned: (plus two WS losses in WIS regular, and one WS loss in BTTF).  I thought you had 1-2 additional WS appearances but don't remember.

OK, found the old post in which I posted FBG WIS WS results. The post was from 1/31/2013, so I'm missing results from five FBG BTTF leagues - 2013-2017:

WIS I - pumpnick over mrharrier 4-2

WIS II - Spartans Rule over Koya 4-2

WIS III - dirtyhalos over Mr. Pickles 4-2

WIS IV - RnR over Doug B 4-3

WIS V - Koya over eephus 4-3

WIS VI - Kraft over Doctor Detroit 4-3

WIS VII - Kraft over eephus 4-3

WIS VIII - Doug B over eephus 4-1

WIS IX - Koya over Notorious T.R.E. 4-3

WIS X - eephus over SoCalBroncoFan 4-0

WIS XI - jfranco over Spartans Rule 4-2

WIS XII - Brady Marino over pumpnick 4-1

WIS XIII - Hoos First over oso diablo 4-2

WIS XIV - Doug B over Doug B 4-1

WIS BTTF 2011 - Arsenal of Doom over Notorious T.R.E. 4-2

WIS XV - Doctor Detroit over jfranco 4-0

WIS BTTF 2012 - scoobus over jfranco 4-3

If memory serves, we drafted for the 2018 BTTF league, played the season out on FanTrax, but never played it out on WIS. Didn't WIS drag their feet for like 4 or 5 months before putting the 2018 player-seasons in their database or something?

I'm trying to remember when we stopped doing the regular leagues.  Probably around 2016 or so? 

I had a prolonged slump as I held onto my "once" successful strategy as everyone else got better, then think my last two were back to backers and we did a couple after that, I think.

And yeah, the NBA league we played out on fantrax and they never loaded the players until the next season had started or something.  I really liked that team too (KAT was a cookie monster in WIS).

 
BTW, I still remember losing to Sparty in that WS... was one of my Starbucks Series. Think I did that series and one other mostly if not all live sim.

That list goes through 2012 I think. We had a good 6 or so additional seasons afterward.  Thought somewhere was a full list of WS participants, not sure where.

I can likely reconstruct (and complete) the list of WS participants based on old e-mails -- I throw little away. Need to get a little ahead on my paying work first, though :D

Hmmm ... the next few pages in that link are nice walks down memory lane. Starting at page 55 of the "*** OFFICIAL WIS XVI Draft Thread ***" on this forum. Talking about drafting old WIS leegs on baseballtangent & rotodugout, the drafters that came over to FBG from baseballtangent (Eephus, right?), and so on.

Wish I still had the free baseballtangent T-shirt   :kicksrock:

I’m still pissed about that one. I was first in the Fantrax standings and had an amazing team led by a crazy Harden season. Was probably going to finally win a title - I had a bunch of 50-60 win teams, plus one runner-up, but never won.

My best team was ruined by my 4th round pick of Tiago Splitter over DeAndre Jordan. Yo Mama said he was deciding between those two as well and took Jordan right after me. He proceeded to crush me in the finals.

My team in that NBA league might have battled you pretty hard.  It was significantly better than my championship team from the year before - which I'm still amazed happened considering my lack of knowledge of the NBA as compared to NFL and MLB.  I remember early on thinking along the lines of 'what players might do well in the sim' and settled on a go all in for KAT strategy.  It worked.

I did the same the next year, but had a far more balanced and deep team.

Hell, let's get the band back together and play it out! (not likely)

I had a very good team as well, sucks we never got to play that season out.

Drauction was the best thing we ever did.

 
Mrharrier's records in progressive sims:

WIS I - 117-55, division champ, World Series runner-up

WIS II - 94-68, division champ, lost in first round

WIS III - 64-98, fourth place

WIS IV - 81-81, second place

WIS V - 78-84, fourth place

He skipped VI and VII, then came back for VIII.

WIS VIII - 74-88, third place

...

What's significant about this is that early on, mrharrier was our resident WIS expert. He was ahead of the curve on a lot of the sim-specific statistical analysis, and wasn't shy about letting us know it. I think the sim engine changed at some point, though, and he didn't adapt. Harr totally ignored defense (which seemingly used to work at one time), and sold out almost every other offensive stat for the sake of huge BB/100 rates. I remember the sim being much more forgiving of fatigue, and mrharrier relying on that to use Mark Eichhorn as a starting pitcher in III or IV.

Loved everything about this post from @Doug B, also really want to go back to WIS I and see what team I drafted that won 109 games but lost in the first round, getting swept.

 
Diggin' the title change   :lmao:

I had a friend, a big What If? Sports player /
  Back in oh-five, yeah
He would light that site on fire /
  Make Harr look like a fool, boy
Saw him the other night, his sim avatar /
  I was logging in, he was logging out
Went back on SimLive, PMed, played a few games /
  But all we kept postin' 'bout was

Glory days
Well, they'll pass you by
Glory days
In the wink of a young nerd's eye
Glory days
Glory days

The real kicker was that Harrrr never, not once, won a WIS season where we all picked knowing the point was to win the sim. That first one (IIRC) was the all time baseball draft where I believe we sorta judged teams but decided about 2/3 way through that we would use WIS to actually sim the results of our teams.

Harrier from there point on drafted guys he knew would perform well in the sim, unlike most or all of the rest of us.
 

Hence, birth of the term SIMFISHING

 
this has nothing to do with WIS, but the next person, either on tv or in person that i see make a heart symbol with their hands is gonna get a beating.
