    the winner would be the first team to make all 10 scores in their games , from 0 to 9 -- 0.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, --- .

    if no team completes all 10 scores before end of season, then the one with the most completions will win it (if ties occur. will split equally).

    it's a common office pool (some run it up to 13) , but first time running here at sbr.

    instead of this = first team that scores in their games 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 runs wins the pool

    you should change it to this = first MLB division (you are randomly assigned a division, then you have all 5 of those teams) that scores in their games 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 runs wins the pool

    Maybe it is clearer.

    to win the pool one of your 5 teams within your division, individually will have to complete the full cycle, in order to win, and not the division as a whole.

    normally this is a draft situation and more players involved, but due to shortage of time,
    and players before the season ends, will run it like this for only this once.

    ok. we're ready to go.

    the six players are :

    spider
    yisman
    shaunovery
    trytrytry
    philliesfinest
    dankelly


    there is a race at Nottingham (greyhounds) Race #6 at 2:52 pm ET with 6 dogs racing. (bet365 shows the race and the results)

    #1 will be AL EAST
    #2 will be AL CENTRAL
    #3 will be AL WEST
    #4 will be NL EAST
    #5 will be NL CENTRAL
    #6 will be NL WEST


    according to their finish, they will be allotted to the players above. (thus we'll have random choice of divisions and be able to start immediately today)

    ^ without a doubt

    AL East is easily the most desirable division

    I got an idea, Spidey,

    Next time, auction off the divisions. Could be fun.

    Maybe we could do something like that with the NFL.

    yea, draft or auction is good. the only problem was that we were pressed for time for this contest because the season ends in 58 days.
    for the NFL, I'm planning on 2 or 3 different pools (including survivor, squares, etc.)
    and also later, for NHL and NBA. It'll be a fun winter!

    for example, the AL East is clearly superior to the NL East for this sort of contest.

    Shutouts are more common outcomes than 7, 8, or 9 runs.

    all those AL East teams get shutout, you can look it up yourself

    I would imagine every team has been shut out this season
