This unique progressive pits eras versus eras, teams versus teams as your build your own progressive team, advancing one year at a time. The "Build Your Own" part: Take any historical team, that is your core. We then have a league wide draft .
We are finishing up the second year and one owner has to drop out due to personal reasons. We are just starting to put our keepers up and will be drafting in two weeks. We do one draft before the season to fill everyone's team. Owners are drafting players who are not yet taken in their given year. There is only one instance of any given player.
Every team progresses one year at a team. There is a maximum of 7 player draft picks per team each year. Rankings for next draft is the prior years standing at game 162. Players have a unique life cycle as there are multiple teams from different eras. Say one of the owners has the 1970 Orioles and they decide to cut Brooks Robinson, he goes back into the draft pool. What ever team drafts him, he starts that year and has a new progression. Say if a team is the 1968 Cardinals, they can draft Brooks Robinson and he is now progressing starting in 1968.
