New Rule on Your Nominated Player
This is a 16 team league. Each owner will nominate 1 player that has played 16 seasons* or more in their career. Each owner will draft a different season of each player nominated to be on their team. So all 16 teams will own the same 16 players, but each with a different version of that player. For this version, the player must have 16 seasons from 1901-2011 to be eligible.
* Note that if a player played 15 seasons, but played for 2 different teams in one season, that counts as 16 (you'll understand why after reading the remaining rules ).
A regular lineup will be used for nominations so we'll need C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF and 8 Pitchers (at least 4 SP). For players who played more than one position, there will be some leeway on which position you can nominate him at (i.e., A-Rod can be ss or 3b).
Upon signup, list your player and site-mail me which of his seasons you are going to use*. I will choose my player after at least 7 owners choose. Once all 16 players are chosen, I'll post the seasons selected and the draft order. We'll have a 15 round draft to select the other 15 seasons used for each player. Draft order for each round will be based on the cumulative salary going into that round (lowest salary drafts first).
* New Rule on Your Nominated Player - The season you select for your nominated player must be one of his three highest salaried seasons. This should somewhat reduce the Earl Whitehill "screw your neighbor" strategy that has become increasingly popular.
The remaining 9 roster spots must be filled with teammates of your drafted players. They must be from the same season. No Twisting. Players chosen in the draft are exclusive by season so they cannot be used as a teammate. If you draft a player season with 2+ teams, you choose which version of that season you want, and can only take teammates from that team. (This is how a player with 15 seasons, including one multi-team season can be allowed. Or similarly, a player with 14 seasons, w/ two multi-team seasons is allowed, etc.)
*** A popular modification was made in version 4 - the addition of a $120 million salary cap. Be very careful in your player selection during the draft. In the late stages of the draft, you may find yourself stuck having to roster a high-priced stiff that would put you over the cap, forcing you to downgrade one of your key teammates.
