League ONE: American League (No D.H.):
The person with the first pick in each league will choose which franchise he wants to use a particular period/division. The draft will go on until all 12 spots are filled. After the initial teams are picked, each division will then draft in reverse order. What you will be drafting is one of the franchises that “wasn’t” chosen initially for your division. From the franchise you choose, you can select three players (could be one pitcher and two position players, two pitchers and one position player or three pitchers and no position players or three position players and no pitchers). You don’t need to name which three players you plan on using – just the franchise.
For example, in the 1901-1905 division, if Pittsburgh, New York, Cincinnati and Chicago are the four teams selected – and the owner who picked Cincinnati was the fourth owner in that division, then he gets first choice of which of the other four teams he wants to pick his free agent pitchers/position players from - either the Boston Beaneaters, the St. Louis Cardinals, the Philadelphia Phillies or the Brooklyn Superbas.
Another example is if you join the N.L. of the 2018-2019 Division and the four owners who pick spots in that division select the Nationals, Cubs, Brewers and Cardinals – then whoever picked fourth gets to select their free agent franchise from one of the 11 other N.L. teams that played during that time frame.
