SwanSong League

This leagues rosters will be made up of the final seasons of a players career. Seasons 1901 to 2013 only. In the draft center set your search for last season and it will show only the final WIS season of a player's career. 2014 seasons can't be used as those will show up in last season search. Also players who did not play in 2014 but are on a 2015 team roster can't be drafted.

We will hold a 10 round snake draft here in the forum. Order will be determined by random.org. I will have an owner not in the league generate those numbers.Those players will be exclusive to the owner who drafts them. The rest of your roster will be made up of players last seasons.

As much as I would like this to be a 24 team league it seems more realistic to shoot for 16. If we get enough interest to have more teams we will deal with that when the time comes.

I didn't think about that but I am not going to allow a pick like that. Don't think it is in the spirit of this theme. I will change 1st post.

...and thanks to braveboy and josh for starting this off

If someone agrees to proxy for me during draft, I'm in.

I am hoping to run an off the clock draft at least to start. No one would be skipped we would just need owners to check in every day and it should work. I will put you down as in for now if that's ok. I would be available for proxy picks some of the time and im sure others will be as well

Sounds like fun....I just don't like the "no squeeze" rule, but I'm game....

Thanks for playing!

could we waive the cap? Im bad at balancing everything..lol

Look at the player pool dude - the reason I didn't sign up is because the draft is going to be too topheavy in the first round.  There are only a tiny handful of even decent seasons.  I don't think it would be possible to go much over the cap without drafting an absurd number of PA/IP.

I have looked at the player pool. I checked out the top 50 at each position. Just like in any ordinary draft there are a few top players and many 2nd level. These will not be all star teams. I suggest you go back and look at it.

Wanted to have a cap so the owners who got the top players would not be able to stock up the better reserves that are not drafted in the 10 rounds, some of which may be common. I have looked at it and have been planning this league for quite some time.


And if you are not playing why do you give a phuck about it? 

Sorry Szczubelek I am going to drop out

Ill take petco
