Okay, here’s how the drafting of Free Agent players is going to go:
If your team’s winning percentage is 621 or higher, they get one Free Agent;
If your team’s winning percentage is between 589 and 620, they get two Free Agents;
If your team’s winning percentage is between 553 and 588, they get three Free Agents;
If your team’s winning percentage is 552 or below, they get four Free Agents.
The draft will be started by the team/owner with the lowest winning percentage in each division and wind it’s way up.
There is no reason for any of these short drafts to be held up by anyone for any reason (barring emergencies) so I’m instituting a 24-hour rule. Once the draft begins, any owner who takes longer than 24 hours to make a pick can be skipped. Since we’re doing these drafts in “thejuice6’s Theme League Draft Forum”, sending someone a proxy should be a piece of cake. Again, if you can’t make your pick on time, send someone a proxy.

1917-1918: New York Giants 597 (DEWELCH71)
