For some reason, getting GMs to pay their Entry Fee at this level is like pulling teeth. I've tried everything from Massive Team Deletions to Tough Love -- once they actually Pay to Play, I've found some real Diamonds in the Rough. Some of these guys really KNOW THEIR BASEBALL! It doesn't take a lot of effort to compete in this league, and I really enjoy watching these guys blossom!

2013 -- A couple of GST (potential) Regulars helped pretty much fill this league.
Regular Season Finish: 1. Juggernauts 2. Shang Hai Grand 3. Let's Go Fphightins 4. Crabby Patties 5. MV Basher 6. Sailor Jerry 7. Oconee Braves 8. Eville Elite 9. Jim Ponds 10. Sippin on Gin Andrus 11. Kill Joy 12. KC Royals 13. Glassbreakers (Commish) 14. Cub Man 15. MTR 16. Third Coast Thunder 17. CPW 18. Winning Aint Easy
Championship Playoff Finish: 1. Juggernauts 2. Shang Hai Grand 3. Crabby Patties 4. Sailor Jerry 5. Let's Go Fphightins 6. MV Basher 7. Eville Elite 8. Oconee Braves
This league was much MORE Competitive than you might have imagined with so many newcomers (you never know what you get). Everybody played to the end, and the Lowest Win% was .414, so it was pretty darn well competitive. The High Win% was near .600 either. Now the Playoffs, on the other hand, were some of the TIGHTEST GST has ever experienced. There was an 11-10 contest in the First Round, an 11-10 contest in the 2nd Round (the other was 12-9), but the Finals AND 3rd Place Contests were BOTH 11-11, won by Yahoo Tie-Breakers!!

2014 -- It is really cool watching these guys spread into the GST Conglomerate of Leagues so proficiently -- which they have done. It could easily be, that one of these days, these very GMs could be the next GST Top Dogs! As a result though, the Size of the League got smaller. The future will tell if this league gets deleted.
Regular Season Finish: 1. X 2. Jim Ponds 3. Glassbreakers (Commish) 4. Phillies 5. Third Coast Thunder 6. Pekin Dragons 7. Eville Elite 8. Juggernaughts 9. Cub Man 10. Sailor Jerry 11. Crabby Patties 12. Oconee Braves 13. KC Royals 14. The Plebs
Championship Playoff Finish: 1. Jim Ponds 2. Phillies 3. Glassbreakers 4. X 5. Eville Elite 6. Juggernaughts 7. Eville Elite 8. Pekin Dragons
I'll give it to this league, most of the GMs were returners, and the league was Highly Competitive, with the Lead never approaching .600 Win%. There were also many Lead Changes. Nobody quit early.

2015 -- Half the league Returned and half the league was new. Strangely, this is the HARDEST league to Get Paid Up, so it filled up many times, only to get pared back down. In the end it was one of GST's smallest leagues. I'm still trying to decide what to do with it.
Regular Season Finish: 1. Third Coast Thunder 2. Eville Elite 3. Cub Weekly 4. Juggernauts 5. Lee's Cards 6. Glassbreakers (Commish) 7. Spin Doctors 8. Green Monster 9. Jim Ponds 10. Sailor Jerry 11. Oconee Braves 12. Hustle Hard 13. Janos Fine Team 14. Hard Ball
Championship Playoff Finish: 1. Cub Weekly 2. Eville Elite 3. Green Monster 4. Juggernauts 5. Lee's Cards 6. Third Coast Thunder 7. Spin Doctors 8. Glassbreakers
Teams kept changing the Lead, and teams would Sink and Gain in the standings ALL YEAR LONG! Third Coast Thunder prevailed in the End! The Playoffs were TIGHT and Cub Weekly won in a Hard Fought Battle!!
High Win%: .558 Low Win%: .413
