The Mixer

16 Team Format
Seasons: All
Multi-Season League

All the players in the WIS database to start.
25 round draft. Random order for round 1 then serpentine.
Every season of every player is available. Yes to Clones. (Want 5 Babe Ruths? Go for it).

We play Season 1.

We will reward those that win. The 4 teams with the best records make the playoffs.
We have all been in leagues where 2nd or even 3rd place teams have better records than 1st place teams. Here, the best 4 make the playoffs.

Starting with Season 2 and every Season thereafter:
1. The 25 players from the World Series Winner will be Blacklisted.
2. The 25 Players from the World Series Loser will stay on that roster. That Owner will Keep that roster to try to win it all next season.
3. The 350 players from the other 14 teams will all be thrown into The Mixer.
4. 23 Players will then be randomly assigned to each of the 15 rosters, and everyone minus the World Series Loser, will be randomly assigned to a roster. There will be 5 players leftover that will go back into the WIS database.
5. At this point the team you get will be a mess. You'll straighten it out, however you want, by trading and/or drafting.

Trades will be open for 72 hours, (3 Days). No trading outside the 72 hour window.
You'll then post your Keepers and the draft gets sheduled. No limit to Cuts or Keepers. (Don't like the 23 players you got from the Mixer? Cut 'em all and draft new ones).
Cuts go back into the WIS database and are available for drafting again.
In the draft, everyone will get enough picks to refill their roster to 25 players. Draft order will be random for round 1 then serpentine.
We will use deadlines in this League. Please, only join if you can be on time and are on the site on a regular basis.
New Owners coming into the League get a random roster of 23 players just like everyone else.

Sign me up! I've wanted a progressive like this where I can be in from the beginning and it has all the best players at once. I'm in!

Sure why not!

I will play. Looks fun!

Thanks DJ

I'll play

Thanks sigblend
You put us over the hump and on the downhill slide

Couple of clarifying Qs;

1) Does the blacklist last forever, or do they return at some point???

2) So, we would be drafting a specific player/yr??? I could draft 1921 Ruth, and the next guy could draft 1922 Ruth???

1. Forever
2. Yes

If you are looking at this and won't join a 16 team league because you only like 24 team leagues I would be willing to change it to that. Rules would remain the same other than the amount of players involved. Just let me know when you signup that you are only IN if it ends up as a 24 team league.

We would then take the 8 teams with the best records into the playoffs regardless of divisional finish.

Interested. Question though

Does WS winner dart their 23 players first at end of the season and then regular draft for the other teams?

AND if we keep 20 (example) and everyone keeps 23. Do we draft 3 before everyone else or the extra picks would be at end in order of draft depending on round
so definitely would be 2 rounds regardless so then my extra players needed would be round 3 and so on?
