The draft order for this league is based on the W/L totals from teams in Round Two.
In this league, it’s quite simple – there will be six franchises (three N.L. and three A.L.) to choose from. Once the draft begins, select the franchise you want to have and one of the 16 seasons that are shown next to it. I went through and found all of the seasons where each franchise made the playoffs and, depending on the team, had to whittle away some or had to add some to come up with the magic number of 16 seasons. Each franchise will have its own division. Each division will have four owners. You’ll have four seasons to use to build your roster. No Free Agents – just the four seasons you draft. The draft order will be 1-24, 24-1, 24-1, 1-24. Oh yeah, one more thing – you have to draft one season from each of the four time-groupings for your franchise. For example, if you choose the Cardinals, you must choose one season from the 1928/1930/1931/1934 grouping, one season from the 1942/1943/1944/1946 grouping, one season from the 1967/1968/1985/1987 grouping and one season from the 2000/2002/2004/2005 grouping. Each owner in the division will have one season from each of the four groupings. I’ve tried to come up with seasons that represent different eras of each franchise.
Also, when building your team, you must have a minimum of six players (three pitchers and three position players) from each of the four years of the franchise/years you drafted. That’s twenty-four players. Your twenty-fifth player may come from any of the four teams that you have to draw from and may be a thirteenth Pitcher or a thirteenth Position Player.
Other information that you need to know for Round Three:
*Clones: No – not in this round.
*Waiver Wire, Trades and A.A.A. – NO!
*Designated Hitter – YES.
*Injuries – Turned Off.
*CAP – No cap – just build the best roster you can.
*Stadium – Must be one of the stadiums that one of your teams called home during one of the four seasons your team is made up of.
Who Moves On?
Once Round THREE is complete, the six Division Winners from each league will move on to Round Four. That’s eighteen spots. The other spots will be awarded to the two owners from each league who own the best Won/Loss records that didn't win a division in their league. The tie-break will be (1) Head-to-Head; (2) the biggest run differential between earned runs allowed by the pitching staff and runs scored by the offense; and (3) Most Home Wins.
