I'll try it

In please

I'll play.

I must admit, though, that I'd like the rules a bit better if, at least for lifelines #1 and #2, we were allowed to wait to declare using them rather than having to declare up front. Using the sample draw as an example, I'd feel a little bit better about keeping 2013 Jimmy Rollins if I knew that, if I don't get any other good candidates for lifeline #1, I can eventually twist him to 2008. But is his 2008 good enough to potentially waste lifeline #1 up front on it? Probably not. I don't see the harm in allowing that decision to be delayed.

Like I said, I'm in either way, but just stating my opinion.

Almost half way! Glad to have everyone so far!

Strongly agree!!!

This is about the level of insanity I usually enjoy. I'm in.

Looks like a stressful frustrating challenge. Count me in

Bump
If we fill this weekend i'll make preps for the draft

Also as a side note: If you twist something, it has to be twisted into something that exists.

For example: You draw 1995 Tom Glavine, you cannot twist the first name to Greg (there is no Greg Glavine) nor the last name to Maddux (there is no Tom Maddux). So Greg Maddux is not obtainable via Glavine.

If the player you draw has more than one entry, you can pick either the full or partial of the team you drew. 1998 Randy Johnson Astros, you can take either his Astros partial or the full season as long as it says Astros. There are separate entries for each partial.

I'll join

14!

I'll grab a spot Tulsa

Will each owner's selections be posted as they finalize?

Are players exclusive? Im not quite sure I understand the rules. I get 5 players from a pool of 25. So then you send me another 25 and i pick 5 from them? Put me down regardless seems fun

No, everyone's draft except mine is secret. I draft first, live on camera, and everyone will see my team, but no one except me will know your team, which of course doesn't matter since I have already picked! This way no one has any advantage/disadvantage by being slow or fast, and since I see everyone's team, I have no advantage since my team is locked in.

Players are not exclusive, however the odds of drawing the same players are low, and drawing the same list is for all intents and purposes impossible. There are 95,270 entries, and we will draw at most 18,000, so while there will be some overlap, the rosters will look completely different.
As for your 2nd question, that is pretty much correct. I send you a full roster of 25 players, you pick the 5 you want, along with any alterations to the list. Once I record your choices, I send your round 2 list, and so on and so forth.
So yeah, the lists aren't deliberately exclusive, but every round the pool resets,
