Season 25 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. $48M 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 the interest of fairness, we will give everyone a couple of days to sign up and then hold a draft starting on Saturday, February 6, 2021. 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!

Draft is TOMORROW - last chance to sign up if you want to be in the lottery. After the draft remaining franchises will be available first come, first serve.

why not count me in

Hey cc - you don't have to do it for this version if you don't want and others would change how many they sign up for, but I would recommend that if owners like me enter two teams you should make sure every owner signed up (when you run the lottery) gets a team before I get a second. Meaning I shouldn't have like the 2nd and 4th selections.

Just a thought....

Thanks jcred - I'm gonna keep as is just because I'm lazy and can't do math... I think there are owners who wait to sign up until after the draft on purpose because they like the challenge of taking lesser teams. Kind of like my challenge of taking the Knicks...
