I am kind of taking this as a bad sign for the long term health of the league.

Nope, we're good. Owner list updated.

We're going to use a weighted lottery like in the ATBA. 

24. X 6
23. X 5
22. X 4
21 .X 3
20 .X 2
19. X 1

I'll get the full rules posted sometime tomorrow. We can't start until (A) we fill up and (B) the 2013 defensive/salary adjustments are made, anyway. I'll start smailing on Monday.

It should be noted that the last one of these had to be converted to a double regressive at some point in the 80s. The draft pools get very thin. 

That said, I am not joining at this time, just warning you to keep that in mind!

I'd prefer a separate year double draft.  Skip backwards about ten years to '72 or '71.
Then your drafts would be two years and you can still regress at one year at a time
for the players. Rather than having to choose between the two years of the player.
So a separate regressive double draft would be as an example, the 1985 last year pool AND the 1973 last year pool.
Then your drafts would be very deep and the ABA players would be included to play against the '80s superstars.
I'm in and logain come on man!  Lets get a regressive going!

This is what we did before. Separated by like 25 years.. zizzo would know exactly

heres what zizzo did.....

So basically here's what the league will look like going forward:
87-88    &    66-67
86-87    &    65-66
85-86    &    64-65
84-85    &    63-64
83-84    &    62-63
82-83    &    61-62
81-82    &    60-61
80-81    &    59-60
79-80    &    58-59
78-79    &    57-58
77-78    &    56-57
76-77    &    55-56
75-76    &    54-55
74-75    &    53-54
73-74    &    52-53
72-73    &    51-52
71-72    &    11-12
70-71    &    10-11
69-70    &    09-10
68-69    &    08-09
67-68    &    07-08


that first double draft was amazing too...wilt,russell,gilmore,oscar,west...it totally mixed up the league...sadly we only lasted a few more seasons

i dont think we should even worry too much about when we have to turn it into a double regressive...we will be lucky to even get to that point
