RULES:
Franchise Draft 1969-2024
This will be a 24 round draft, drafting from a different franchise each round. Once we get 24 owners, we will randomly assign a first round draft order, and each owner will be randomly assigned a “Double 1st Pick” franchise (franchises listed below).

We will then conduct a 24 round draft where each round, every owner selects a player from the franchise assigned to that round (1969-2024 only). The owner with the 1st pick each round gets to take any 2 players from their assigned franchise (their “Double 1st Pick”).

Players are exclusive WITHIN franchises, but are not exclusive across franchises.
Example – During the Boston round, once Pedro Martinez gets selected, he is off the board for the rest of the Red Sox round. However, when we get to the Mets round or the Montreal/ Washington round, someone can select a version of Pedro from those franchises. This means clones ARE allowed, as someone could possibly take 2 or more versions of a player with different franchises.

Obviously, a normal draft won’t work here as each owner gets a #1 pick and each owner gets a #24 pick and everything in between. We will draw a random order for round 1, and then simply slide everyone down one pick every round (1 moves to 2. . . .2 moves to 3. . . .etc, with 24 moving to 1).

The strategy here is interesting. . . .with a $120M cap and since we will all know which franchise will be our #1 pick, and our #2, and so on, it will be advisable to look ahead and decide who you will most likely get with those high picks and get a plan in place with your lower picks. To up the strategy factor, we WILL use a DH.

Your ballpark will be based on whatever franchise you get for your #1 double pick, you can take any park that franchise used between 1969 – 2024. Yes, this means if you get the Cubs as your franchise, you will play in Wrigley. If you draw the Dodgers, you are in Dodger Stadium. The nice part is you will know what park you are in before we draft. For that matter, you will also know which other owners/parks will be in your division.

To keep with the spirit of the theme, combined seasons will NOT be allowed, we will use Full or Partial only.
