So, if I draft rookie year of someone from 1867 and then we do the 1968 draft, do I own that guy?
Yes, every player in this progressive league will progress starting with their rookie season and progress through their sim career one season at a time. Your 1967 player will progress to their 1968 season the following season. If your starting PG's rookie season is 1957 then his next season will be 1958. Eventually it will all balance out to where every player will be progressing from the same season but the beginning of this league the players will be progressing from different seasons.

The league is probably filled anyways but I am a little vague on the core rule.  If someone drafts 59 rookie Wilt, for instance, with the first pick, they get to keep Wilt for his entire 8-9 yr career? If so, seems like a strong edge for first picker.  I assume subsequent drafts are to replace only those players you dump from your current roster?  If so, many owners will be drafting different numbers of players each year. Please unconfuse me.  Thanks.
Yes Wilt will start in his rookie season just like every other player in this league and progress one season at a time thru his sim career just like every other player. We will progress one season at a time after the 1st season so we will replenish from the rookies from 1968 along with all the players not drafted from the 1st draft who will progress into their 2nd sim season. Yes we will be drafting different numbers of players each year depending on how many players we drop or are on IR totaling 12 players for each team.

I have been working every day and I will be working at least 24 days in a row and it could be even more than that so I ask for your patience while I am working on the list of players who will be available for the draft in the private forum and then I will get all the owners into the private forum. I will get it done as soon as possible but it is a little bit of work and I want to be as thorough as possible since we are drafting alot of players from different seasons. I already have the PG's and SG's finished so it's already in the works.  I will also randomize the draft order and post it as soon as I can get around to it which is alot easier than the players list. We can start the draft off the clock after the draft order is posted to get it started. This should also give everyone some extra time to do their homework since we are using players alot of us aren't very familiar with. 

I was wanting to start the draft on the clock the Monday after the Super Bowl so that everyone can enjoy the next 2 weeks without any interference. If there are any objections to this or anything else I would apreciate it if you would let me know now. I will start a waitlist just in case anyone bows out at the last second. 

Thx everyone who joined this league. I am lookin forward to seeing this thing take off!

We actually have 25 in since robusk creigel, and all3 have joined but we have 3 owners willing to take on 2 teams so we may get 24 without having any 2 team owners which would be awesome. If 2 more join we will have 24 without anyone having 2 teams!

Thanks, snydpie!  I know this is a lot of work to get this going.  I'm thrilled that we're basically full.

Love the idea of letting the draft start off the clock ASAP.

Snydpie what'd you think drafting 2 seasons at a time.  First draft would be 65-66 & 66-67.  Doubles the draft depth and makes for quicker roster turn over.
and thus quicker turn around for losing teams.  Might keep things more interesting.  This seems close to a go. last 7owners may take some time but that's
a good number for now.
It's funny you mentioned drafting 2 seasons at a time cuz I was thinkin the same thing the other day and  I was going to mention it on here but we would need to settle on a season to start drafting one season at a time. I would say some time in the mid to late 70's. I like the idea of going to one season drafts after 10 years who by the way is becoming a pretty awesome band LOL starting in '75 but if this idea isn't what the rest of the league wants then it's a no go!

We need some input from the rest of the league and if they are good with this rule we will go with it. 
We're not going with the 2 season option?  If it matters, I'd vote we do.

I think the draw of the league is that there are so many options to make it a competive league from the beginning and to help with the 17000 minute rule.  Im for keeping as is.

Just asking because (to me) snydpie's post kind of makes it sound like it's "a go" unless people object, and there weren't any objections.  I'm sure he'll clarify when he gets a chance.

just the staggering amount of time it will take to play 45 seasons w/ 1 yr. drafts makes it a challenge.  Eventually we could do a 2 yr. draft
after all of the original players are IL.  Should be ample mins. available for a few seasons of play and fairly deep rosters.Will be interesting to
see if Wilt's team can win more than 1 championship

I decided to add 3 seasons to the 1st draft to make sure we have enough mins to get to the 80's so this league will progress one season at a time. We will have plenty of mins to make it to the 80's and then the league will start to balance out. Once we get to the 80's there will be plenty of players available in the draft so there is no need for a 2 seasons at a time draft.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will be entering the league in season 3 so It will be awesome to see them progress through their career at almost the same time so Wilt may not be as dominant as everyone is expecting. There are plenty of other great players who will have somethin to say about how much Wilt will dominate this league also.

Two seasons at a time drafts would create alot of talent which would make it interesting also but I believe this league will be a huge success progressing one season at a time. Alot of really good players would be a nonfactor if we used two seasons at a time. I would rather use my wild card player idea that no one responded to than to play in a progressive league overloaded with talent.
