I am better at creating projects than completing them, I sold all of my 1980-2013 sets a while ago, but managed to get 1980 back and have designs on the other 9 seasons 1981-1989 (but this may take awhile). I do not anticipate creating another 36 team - 6 league 1980s decades project (like my 1960s and 1970s and even oldtimer leagues - 17 leagues is already a monster) but maybe I can play a 32 team tournament - if I get those other 9 seasons. I "recently" did a 2000-2009 32 team tournament which was won by the 2003 Marlins.
I take the 20 pennant winners and add 6 "wild cards" for each league, the 12 at large teams are obviously subjective choices. Teams are seeded with world champs, followed by pennant winners getting the higher seeds. Bubble teams who did not make it include 1980 Orioles, 1980 Astros, 1981 Expos, 1982 Braves, 1985 Dodgers, 1985 Yankees, 1986 Angels, 1987 Blue Jays, 1989 Cubs
So rough draft here are my brackets, definitely subject to change - all series best of 7
1984 Tigers (A1) - 1986 Astros (N4)
1980 Royals (A3) - 1989 Giants (N2)
1987 Twins (A2) - 1988 Mets (N3)
1983 White Sox (A4) - 1981 Dodgers (N1)
1983 Orioles (A1) - 1981 Reds (N4)
1980 Yankees (A3) - 1985 Cardinals (N2)
1988 A's (A2) - 1984 Padres (N3)
1982 Angels (A4) - 1980 Phillies (N1)
1989 A's (A1) - 1985 Mets (N4)
1981 Yankees (A3) - 1987 Cardinals (N2)
1986 Red Sox (A2) - 1984 Cubs (N3)
1987 Tigers (A4) - 1988 Dodgers (N1)
1985 Royals (A1) - 1987 Giants (N4)
1985 Blue Jays (A3) - 1982 Cardinals (N2)
1982 Brewers (A2) - 1983 Phillies (N3)
1981 A's (A4) - 1986 Mets (N1)
