Prog Draft 1971 - 1 needed Topic

We will have 1 positions open when we draft (hopefully starting Friday, Feb 6). If you have not tried the WIS draft mod, this is an easy way to get experience with this feature, because it is easy to use but we will happily help you learn it!. Just join THM76503, or reply below, or message me!

THM76503 is the code for the 1971 draft. I am running these drafts a few days into the prior season, not waiting for the season to end. We are likely to have 1 slot (maybe 2) open for 1971. You can join at THM76503 and message me if it fills before you get in.

This league is a LOT of fun!

If you have not yet drafted using the WIS feature, this is a great chance to try it. I am happy to answer any questions as we draft, but everyone finds it eary to learn.

The draft will include all 1971 players, but once any version of a speciifc player is taken (combined or partial seasons), other versions are removed from the pool.

We completed the 1969 draft in under a week, and after 90 games every division is still competitive, and no one is more than 16 games out. Everyone is competitve in 1970 after 19 games. We love drafting so we aren't waiting for one season to end before moving along.

Using the WIS draft module, you will know your EXACT 10 minutue draft windows in advance. They are from 11am-9pm eastern. If you miss a slot, you can pick anytime - but every 10 minutes another player has the ability to slip ahead of you.

This league is progressive in this way - a few days into the 1971 season, I will do another draft for the 1972 players. No keepers from 1971 for that, but most players in one were in both.

You do not have to join the 1972 version, but WIS is giving me $50 of prize credit to distribute to those with the best records within the first 5 seasons. If you replace a prior player, you can inherit their win count to stay competitive.

WIS set it up assuming the draft begins on Fri Feb 6 (assuming we are full of course). It is available to register and most have already joined.

We will do the round 26 stadium draft here, but players need to select their stadium in BOTH this location (for exclusivity) and in the draft module (to prevent delays from fixing it afterward).

Round 26 draft order: late can pick anytime from remaining 1970 stadiums, post here before picking it.

You can just say the team name to draft the stadium.
You can draft early ONLY if everyone ahead of you has drafted.
You can send proxies to me if you will be busy at your draft time (this does not work for rounds 1-15).
You can pick any time after if you miss your draft window BUT every 10 minutes someone else can sneak ahead of you. Good to look after your post submits, just to be sure.
I will edit this post to reflect the picks you made below it.
