Random fact of the day that no one cared about.   Almost all of our red teams ended up in the American League (the American League in MLB to me seems to be more associated with the color red, though not always) and almost all of our blue teams ended up in the National League (which in MLB is usually more associated with the color blue).

By this I mean, when you see pictures of the American and National League logos together, you often see this...



So yeah, kinda funny how that worked out!

Oh, it's time. Knockout comes to AltLB. The rules are simple: over the course of 21 weeks, your goal is to pick a team that loses every week. Last person who successfully does so wins the Knockout.

Normally, I will post these on Monday as well as a recap of who moved on and who was eliminated, with picks due by 7pm Central Time on Tuesday. This does mean that Monday's games will happen, so you can attempt to use that to your advantage. As with AltFL and AltHL, you can PM me your pick on the AHS board. As a change, I will accept DMs through Discord for AltLB as well.

RULES:
- This will be open to everyone, whether you are in the AltLB or not
- You will be picking one team that will LOSE each week. This will prevent you from just picking a team that got hosed with autodraft and a bunch of injured players or someone who isn't setting lineups for some reason.
- You can pick each team 1 time all season. So if, for example, you pick the Bison for Game 1, you cannot pick them again.
- Get one wrong, you're out. Get it right, pick again the next week! Because there's a strong possibility of a tie, a tie is not a loss, so will be counted as an incorrect pick.
- I will share a spreadsheet you can track. I will upload everyone's pick for the week on Tuesday night so you can follow throughout the rest of the week. Guess what, it's the same spreadsheet as AltFL and AltHL, just on a different tab.
- Again, you must message me through the AHS Boards or DM through Discord for your pick to count.

All that done, here's your week one matchups! Remember, you are picking a team that will LOSE their matchup.

Please don't forget about QCS's post for the AltLB Event Game Logos. I linked it for your convenience!

But also, you have about 8 hours to get in your Knockout Picks.

Opening Day is tomorrow, here’s who the Talons have got to go against the Bats on the road.
