We’re talking the four best teams (four different franchises) during many two-year periods (with the exception of the 19th Century – they’re more than two-year offerings). Pick one of the two-year groupings and build your roster. Minimum of six players from each of the four teams in your group must be used to build your roster. Your twenty-fifth player can be a Free Agent that played for any other team (in your respective league) during that two-year period. For the two teams in the A.L. East of League One that has players from 1885-1888 and 1889-1891, you can choose a player that played in any league during those years. Draft order for each league will be determined by the number of wins in the previous round.
Alignment is already pre-determined.
Here are some other items of interest:
NO: Clones – Not In This Round.
NO: Waiver Wire, Trades or A.A.A.
YES: Designated Hitter – YES.
NO: Injuries – They’ll Be Turned Off.
You may use either full or partial players seasons in this round.
CAP –$110
Stadium – You must use the Home Field of one of your four roster-making teams.
Who Moves On?
Once Round THREE is complete, the top 14 teams from each league will automatically earn a berth in Round Three. That’s 84 teams for 96 spots. The final twelve teams will come from the best of the other 60 teams across all six leagues. Again, this will give everyone something to keep playing for, even if your team isn’t very competitive in your division or for the wildcard.
All Playoff teams from League 1 will go into Round 4, League 1.
All Playoff teams from League 2 will go into Round 4, League 2.
All Playoff teams from League 3 will go into Round 4, League 3.
All Playoff teams from League 4 will go into Round 4, League 4.
The N.L. East and N.L. Central Division Winners from Leagues 5 and 6 go into Round 4, League 1.
The A.L. East and A.L. Central Division Winners from Leagues 5 and 6 go into Round 4, League 2.
The N.L. West and N.L. Wildcard Winners from Leagues 5 and 6 go into Round 4, League 3.
The A.L. West and A.L. Wildcard Winners from Leagues 5 and 6 go into Round 4, League 4.
That’s 12 teams in each of the Round Four leagues and 48 teams total. After that…
The next six best teams in League 1 will go into Round Four, League 1.
The next six best teams in League 2 will go into Round Four, League 2.
The next six best teams in League 3 will go into Round Four, League 3.
The next six best teams in League 4 will go into Round Four, League 4.
The next six best teams in League 5 will be split up between Round Four, Leagues 1 and 2.
The next six best teams in League 6 will be split up between Round Four, Leagues 3 and 4.
That’s 36 more spots to go along with the 48 already accounted for which makes 84 total. The final 12 spots will be filled by the teams not yet accounted for above. They will be placed in a league by me, based on balance of the league and owner/team situations.
Here is the draft order and your choices:
