16 Players, 16 Seasons, Version 26
$100M Salary Cap
Seasons: 1969 - 2020
NO BLACKLIST - All players used in previous 16x16 versions are eligible
Draft Order each round: Based on HIGHEST Cumulative Salary

This is a 16 team league. Each owner will nominate one player that has 16 or more WIS-eligible seasons* (from 1969-2020). You should also state which season of that player you want to roster. Once all 16 players are announced, a draft order will be determined for round 1 and each owner will draft a different season of each player nominated to be on their team. So all 16 teams will own the same 16 players, but each with a different version of that player. The other 9 rosters spots will be filled with actual teammates of these 16 players.

* Note that if a player played 15 years, but played for 2 different teams in one season, that counts as 16 (you'll understand why after reading the remaining rules ). To determine number of player seasons, choose Pos = ALL, Min Games = 0, Check "Include Secondary Positions" and set Season Type = Full/Combined. Also, set seasons 1920-2019. Both teams of a multi-team player can be drafted (but you must choose the partial or combined season). The partial and combined season from the same team cannot be drafted.

The 16 nominated players will consist of 9 hitters and 7 pitchers. For the 9 hitters, we'll need at least one C, one 1B, one 2B, one 3B, one SS and three OFs (that leaves one position with an extra player). For pitchers we will need at least 4 SP and 1 RP. For players who played more than one position, there will be some leeway on which position he qualifies at (i.e., Alex Rodriguez can be 3b or ss).

Upon signup, post your nominated player and the season you want in the forum. I will choose my player after at least five players have been selected. Once all 16 players are chosen, I'll post the seasons selected and the draft order. We'll have a 15 round draft to select the other 15 seasons used for each player. Draft order for each round will be based on the cumulative salary going into that round (HIGHEST salary drafts first).

Here's where it gets fun
The remaining 9 roster spots must be filled with teammates of your drafted players. They must be from the same season. No Twisting. Nominated players cannot be used as teammates. If you draft a player season with 2+ teams, you choose which version of that season you want, and can only take teammates from that team. (This is how a player who played 15 years, but had a multi-team season can be allowed. Or similarly, a player who played 14 years, w/ two multi-team seasons is allowed, etc.). There is no limit on number of teammates per drafted player. Many drafted players will not have any teammates rostered. Some will have two or more. In previous versions of this theme, your nominated player typically had a few good teammate options.

leeway... seems like a nice way to put it.

i think 2002 partial with the sox

Your instructions call for full/combined seasons. Under that scenario there are no partial seasons. Do you mean full/partial?
