the official draft order will be placed below in the first comment. Whatever team you select will be taken off the list. When it is your turn, be sure to check the picks before you if I haven't had the chance to cross off previous selections at that time.

.775 - .700 – twist 1 player
.699 - .625 – twist 2 players
.624 - .550 – twist 3 players
.549 - .475 – twist 4 players
.474 - .400 – twist 5 players
.399 – .325 – twist 6 players
.324 – Below – twist 7 players

Simple Rules:

• 1 - The players on the roster can be twisted with any other year they were in the league regardless of the team they were on.
• 1.1 - Players that are on the baseball-reference.com roster but are not shown on WIS are eligible to be twisted.
• 2 - If there is a shortage of players on your roster, you must round out your franchise using players from the previous 3 years before the current WIS season. This could be different for every team. Some might have 3, come might have more or less.
• 2.1 - These players are ineligible to be twisted and must have a max AB of 300, or a WHIP of 1.30 or higher.

***Adding a new incentive award to the league - the team that gains the most points in winning percentage over the original team will get an extra twist in the following season! 8/21

thanks mwhestone, appreciate you getting this off the ground!

in the future i would recommend posting in the forums asking someone not in the league to generate the draft order, i'm sure you went with the first sequence you got and didn't do anything shady but by doing it publicly you will remove all possibility of any ethical issues.

That is a great idea! I will be sure to do that next season for 1905. Thank you greatly for the suggestion!

Im going to trust the dude who gave himself the 15th pick

I appreciate that. But he does make a good point. I don't want there to ever be any thought that I am stacking the deck in favor of anyone, including myself.

So in 1905 we will pick all new teams, right?

Yes, that is correct. And as the seasons go on and teams change or are added, I will adjust the season set up to match that format from that season.

When will the draft start ?

First pick belongs to littlereb so as soon s he sees the forum and makes his first pick, we will be off and running. There are a few people that haven't seen the sitemail I sent earlier.

Last I checked, there are 3 people that have not seen the notification of the draft. One of them holds the first pick. I anticipate they'll catch up soon enough

Sorry for the delay. I'll take the New York Giants.

Very good! Pugmania, you're up!!

What is the rule re: using Full vs. Combined, vs. Partial seasons?

Are you talking about the players you're twisting or the filler players?
