Subsequent Drafts:
There won't be a draft.
Starting after Season 1 and every off-season thereafter you will get a randomly chosen year either from 1885-1960 or 1961-2019. 1st year WIS eligible Players from that season will be your pool to draft new players from. Each successive season your randomly drawn year will alternate to 1885-1960 or 1961-2019 depending on which year you had the previous season. There is no limit to the number of players you can Cut but every new player you draft to replace your cuts must come from the season that was drawn for you and it must be their 1st WIS eligible season. Everyone will get a different season. I will keep a list of players in the league from each season for easy reference. You cannot draft players that are already in the league.

A couple of questions about the above paragraph from the original rules:

1) Is 1885 really going to be available for one owner to have exclusive rights to? WAY too much talent there to keep the league competitive if so.

2) Drafting players already in the league infers that a random season could be one that was already used in the original draft or a subsequent draw. Is that the case?

Thanks for the clarification

This is what I found in the original:

For future season draws 1885 will be a Free Agent season. 1 owner each year will be randomly chosen and that owner can draft 1 player from 1885 in exchange for Cutting their most expensive player going into the next season.

Also, I remember seeing that the following season draw can't be from the previous season so at least 1 season has to be skipped before it's used again. Still if any of these seasons are picked in season 3 you won't get much from them as they will all be picked clean. Hopefully 5-10 seasons down the line and the players will be back.

Thank you. I did not read the whole thread where this was discussed at length. The solution you quoted above did not make it as an adjustment into the first rules post.
