League Name: Contraction GM Challenge V2
Salary Cap: None

Description: The second season that we will use is 1988. We have 16 owners committed. The draft order for team selection is reverse order of win% from the previous season at game 120 (new owners pick last). Each owner will select one team from the 1988 season (8 AL and 8 NL teams must be selected).

Once the 16 teams are selected, there will be a 5-round player dispersion draft, where the draft order for each round is based on inverse real-life regular season record. A total of 80 players will be chosen. Only players from the teams not selected are eligible to be taken. AL teams can take NL players and vice-versa. So your 25-man roster will consist of 20 players from your selected team and 5 players from the dispersal draft.

$$$ Bonus: In order to make things more interesting, I will donate my theme league creator $$$ credit to the team that has the best differential between the sim regular season win% and the team's real-life win%.

Subsequent Years:The team that has the best record at the 120-game mark will get to choose the season that is used for the next iteration of this theme (after I survey how many owners are returning). The draft order for teams for the next iteration will be in inverse order of sim win% at the 120-game mark. In case of ties, I will use the sim expected win%. Any new owners will pick last.

Other Details
DH: No
WW: No
AAA: No
Trades: Only picks and/or drafted players before season
Clones: No
Injuries: Turned On
SLL: Not allowed
Ballpark: The ballpark that your team called home
Team Name: Use actual team name and win% (i.e., New York Yankees .636)
Division Alignment: 4 x 4 (8 AL, 8 NL) Based on East/West as much as possible. Balanced schedule, no interleague play.

Multi-team players: I only want one occurance of a player in the league, so for players with multiple teams, only the full-season "player card" will be eligible and the team that he played for last during the season will get ownership of that player. For example, 2009 Matt Holliday belongs to the St. Louis Cardinals.

oh the suspense . . .

He seems to disappear for days at a time these days. He's fallen several picks behind a couple of times in a draft I'm involved in.

Sorry for holding things up. Something came up at work and I was away unexpectantly. I'll let mpitt select and I apologize for the delay

Ron

1988 is the season that mpitt76 chose.

The team selection draft can begin now.
