Rule V Season 91 Need 3 Topic

SIGN UP FOR SEASON 91

SIGN UP FOR ONE OF THE BEST DRAFT LEAGUES in WIS History!

Originally created many moons ago by examinerebb and continued for years by sinfonian11, and tridentric, this league makes any franchise a contender, and a better group of owners can't be found on the site.

the rules are simple:

1. Each owner chooses a franchise. Franchise draft order is in inverse order of win percentage from the previous season for non-playoff teams, then inverse order of win percentage of non-World Series playoff teams, with the WS runner-up picking 23rd, and the WS champ choosing last. New owners will be assigned the draft position of any previous owners who are not returning, with the first to sign up receiving the highest slot, and so on. Division alignment will be determined randomly after team selection is complete.

2. Each owner chooses five players he/she wishes to protect from that franchise (1975-present) and submits that list via sitemail to me. Those players are the exclusive property of their respective owners.

3. After all lists are submitted, they will be posted and a three round modified Rule V draft will be held, with draft order being inverse order of each franchise's Rule V win percentage through all legs from last 25 versions (v66 thru v90) (the worst teams pick first). Many thanks to schwarze for compiling this data. Each owner selects one unprotected player from any active franchise but their own (player seasons for franchises that were not chosen are not eligible). That player is also theirs exclusively. No more than two players may be taken from any one franchise in any one round.

4. At the end of the first and second rounds, each owner will choose an additional player they wish to protect. You will end up protecting seven in all, while drafting three. These ten players must appear on your roster. The rest of the roster is filled by players from your franchise during the given time period (1975-present).

5. **Division Alignment will be based on historical league W-L% (from seasons 66-90), with the worst 4 teams selected being placed in the NL East and the best 4 teams selected being placed in the AL West.
