Round 2 Themes Topic

Looks complicated to me. If I make it, I might have a little problem with a live draft or a "snake draft." Maybe you are making it too complicated for some of us!

The 100M draft is one pick per day, in the forums.  It's easy enough to send a proxy to somebody if your time slot is at an inconvenient time.  Or you could possibly trade picks with somebody if you wanted an early or late time slot.

The other draft is typically off the clock.

90M: If my team has Player A and Player B, and I twist Player A to a team/year that also has Player B, can I qualify Player B as my "teammate" for Player A's twist?

110M: Can stadiums be drafted in any round or will there be a specified round (before or after the players?) for them?

90m...ok... I've never played in a theme that has a "twist." Could you please explain it so that even a child could understand what you mean. Thanks.

A twist is a version of the same player in a different year.

The usual way twists get used is in a theme that has you pick a single season team. Let's say you pick the 2005 Mets. Then you can use players who played for the Mets in 05, but you don't have to use the 05 season. So you can use Pedro's 2000 season, and Beltran's 2009 season, and so on.

In this theme, you'd then have to add another player from the 2000 Red Sox, and a player from the 2009 Mets, and so on for each of the 12 players that you twisted.

And a snake draft is the kind of draft that's standard in fantasy football. You reverse the draft order every round, so there isn't as much of an advantage to picking first. So the draft goes 1, 2, 3, ..., 23, 24, 24, 23, 22, ..., 3, 2, 1, 1, 2, 3, ...

Oops.... I forgot to take that out of the description.  Ballparks will not be drafted.  Instead, any owner can use any of the ballparks used by your franchise.  That means more than one person can use the same park.

ok...thanks for the input.

Question for 80M theme:  what about split seasons?  For instance, what if Joe Smith played one year but it was a split season between the Red Sox and Cubs.  If I'm
building a "used to play for Cubs" team, can I use the Red Sox version?

Yes, as long as the player played at least 1 game with your selected franchise, you can use any non-selected-franchise version of that player, even if it's the same year.

Questions for 100M theme:  will the ballparks be drafted before or after the player draft?  Are the ballparks limited to those in use from '62 - '86?
9/14/2015 11:10 AM
During the player draft.  And yes, only parks in use between 62-86 can be used.

I knew I shouldn't' expectations jinxed myself by asking questions. We have nosedived.
