Calling it Diamond Clones because your final roster composition will be shaped like a diamond.

Round 1 - This player will be used 1 time
Round 2 - This player will be used 2 times
Round 3 - This player will be used 3 times
Round 4 - This player will be used 4 times
Round 5 - This player will be used 5 times
Round 6 - This player will be used 4 times
Round 7 - This player will be used 3 times
Round 8 - This player will be used 2 times
Round 9 - This player will be used 1 time

All players are exclusive. Once Babe Ruth gets taken (most likely in the first round) the owner gets to play one season of Ruth. In the unlikely event that he goes undrafted until Round 5, that owner must play 5 different seasons of him. Obviously, every cloned player will have to come from a distinct season.

The theory is that the super-premium players will be picked in the first couple of rounds and that should keep things balanced as we get into the middle rounds.

Only a 9-round draft so it should go pretty fast. There will be a clock to make sure at least one round gets done per day but it will not start right away. Draft will be run in the Theme League forum if and when we fill. More particulars:

24 team league
DRAFT ORDER EDITED:
Round 1: 1-24, Round 2: 24-1, Round 3: 24-1, Round 4: 1-24, Round 5: 24-1, Round 6: 1-24, Round 7: 24-1, Round 8: 1-24, Round 9: 24-1
Draft order will be determined as follows: After we fill, a HOF owner not in this league will provide a random order of owners. This list will be used for each owner to select their draft position in Round 1.
1885-2021 seasons eligible
Salary cap: none
No trades, no AAA, no Waiver Wire
Yes DH
Full, partial and combined season all usable
Ballpark must have been one used by one of your players in a rostered season
Injuries off
Alignment by draft order. Given the new rule to select our own draft position this adds yet another strategy element
