Season 30 of a very fun and competitive Franchise league. Rules are simple:

1. Pick a Franchise - owners can have more than one franchise
2. All players on your team must be from a season they played for your franchise (no twisting)
3. $47M cap*
4. No clones, rookies or WW
5. Team name and Arena should be accurate (but mash-ups like Seattle Thunder are OK)
6. Yes you can use players from all historical versions of your franchise (e.g. NY Nets, NJ Nets etc)
7. The Charlotte Hornets/Bobcats and New Orleans Pelicans will be treated as 1 franchise.
8. ABA Franchises that never made it to the NBA (bold below) can be combined into a single team:

*In honor of our 30th season, we will be increasing the degree of difficulty this season only and dropping the salary cap from $48M to $47M. Time for our repeat owners to bring their A game, and any new owners to show what they can do!

In the interest of fairness, we will give everyone a couple of days to sign up and then hold a draft starting on Saturday, February 26, 2022. Draft order will be random, anyone signing up before the draft starts has a shot at the #1 pick. Anyone who signs up after that day will choose from the remaining undrafted franchises.

Good luck... Let's go Old Skool!

Welcome back Redst3! by the way if anyone is looking for more than 1 team let me know when you sign up so that I can keep the count straight. You can also add more teams later. We have had owners with up to 4 teams at once and we strive to keep them in separate conferences.

Welcome Seapilots! Riftonapple I have you down for 2 teams, if you want another let me know. Reminder to all potential owners, random draft will be held this Saturday, anyone who signs up by Friday gets a crack at the #1 pick and their choice of franchise. The more teams you sign up for, the more chances you have! After the draft is over all remaining franchises are available on a first come, first serve basis. If you are curious about how this works feel free to check out prior season Old Skool Forums, or send me a sitemail.
