1989 Team Draft - Completed Topic

Single Season Team Draft Tournament - 1989
Salary Cap = $100 Million

Once any particular season has four owners, they will hold a 5-round draft, where they will draft entire teams from that season.Each owner will have five teams (each team may only be selected once within a season).For example, in the 2011 draft, Owner A drafts the Phillies, then Owner B drafts the Tigers, then Owner C takes the Cardinals, and so on, until 20 teams have been selected.Your roster must include exactly FIVE players from each of the five teams you’ve selected.

Players who played on multiple teams in the same season:
For players who played on more than one team during the season, you must use the partial season version associated with your selected team.The only exception is if you drafted all teams that the player played for during that season, you are allowed (but not required) to use the combined season.You may not however use clones, so if you drafted both 2010 Texas and Seattle, you can use the combined Cliff Lee season or one of his partials, but not both of his partials.

Draft Order:
The draft order will be determined randomly (for the first round of picks only).The draft order for rounds 2-5 will be based on reverse order of cumulative real-life winning percentage of the teams you’ve drafted to that point. If two owners have teams that are tied in W-L%, then whichever owner picked later in the previous round, picks earlier in the current round

Here is the process I use to determine the draft order for round 1. I ask two different people to send me a list. One person lists the four owners from the league in some random order. The other person sends me a list of the numbers 1 thru 4, in some random order. Then I sync up the two lists to determine the draft order...

The draft order for round 1 is

1. dougpalm
2. marlowe
3. shysters3
4. ejstockman

You guys can start drafting at anytime. Please site-mail the person due up next. There is no time limit. It's only a 5-round draft. I won't be running all 24 drafts. Somebody here should keep track of the winning percentages in order to determine the next round's draft order. Let me know if any issues come up. Good luck.
