Alrighty then RF. I'm expecting another great league theme from you.
So far, I've been 100% satisfied.
Even when I don't understand your concept at first, you always take the time to make it perfectly clear,
By the time we get started.

I've entered my 2 cents or should I say 2 teams and I'm ready to rock and roll.

So if you win the World Series in Season 1 you're exempt from elimination forever, or only just exempt in Season 2?

BTW the founder's credit for a 16 team league is $8.63.

Yeah crazyjoe here is a list of owners that will be in Season 8.

Win ANY WORLD SERIES in Seasons 1 to 7 and Your LOCKED IN FOR SEASON 8
I will be founder until I get OUSTED.
Then, hopefully ( one of the: ) World Series winners will take over as founder.
" IF NOT " somebody will have to volunteer.
I'm entering ( 2 ) teams - ( 1 ) NL & ( 1 ) AL so, hopefully I will last a few seasons.

SEASON 8 will consist of: ( 12 Team League )

LOCKED IN for a spot are:
Seasons # 1 thru # 7 World Series Champs ( 7 teams )

and the FINAL 5 will be :
from Season 7
Season 7 World Series runner-up ( team # 8 )
Season 7 ( 4 ) BEST W/L records ( teams # 9 - # 10 - # 11 & # 12 )
That's TOP ( 4 ) W/L records. NOT ( 2 ) NL & ( 2 ) AL
TIE BREAKERS:
W/L record tie breaker is:
Best Season 7 Team ERA
then
Best Season 7 Team AVG.
then
Best Season 7 Team OB%
then
Lowest Season 7 IRS.

________________________________________________________________________

13 IN and 17 to go, I know if we can do it.

I MAY have to offer some Gift Certificates as prizes for the ( 8 ) Seasons of Playoff teams

Any one know what the Founders Fees are:
The Founders Fees will regulate what I can offer as PRIZE - Gift Certificate $
.....Team Owners...........Founders Fee
1 ( 30 Team League ) - $ 16.19

6 ( 18 Team League )

I am intrigued at the eliminations of teams from 30 to 12 for a Grand master champion.
The rewrite of your rules is much clearer than the first draft.
My Owner rating is 1515 for the team draft.
All we do for season 1 is pick a sub .500 team and use those players as is correct?
In season 2 we get to twist one of our players and draft one?
I can guarantee 3 seasons, after that we will see. If that's OK I'm in.
I entered THM 56425 ok?
8/6/2017 1:21 PM
NO CLONE teams????????

Does this mean that once an Indians(1969) team gets drafted NO other Indians team will be available?..... even if it is from 1927??
8/6/2017 1:54 PM
THIS IS YOUR SEASON 1 DRAFT PICK!
ANY one of these teams, with ( 25 ) of the players that were on the team that year
and for Season 1 you will use them EXACTLY -How they are on the team you pick.
There will be only ( 1 ) Franchise in the AL or NL per owner - Some teams played in BOTH leagues
and some teams had various names - Such as Miami Marlins and Florida Marlins each will be considered a different franchise
An AL franchise - MAY ALSO be used if franchise played in the NL -
Such as Philadelphia Athletics - AL & Philadelphia Phillies NL
NO CLONE teams

Exactly as it says.
( 1 ) Philadelphia Phillies Team
( 1 ) Philadelphia Athletics team
( 1 ) NYY team
Once a team and year has been taken by an owner.
NO other owners can take that same team as their Base sub .500 team.
( 1 ) Florida Marlins team
( 1 ) Miami Marlins team

YES!

Welcome barabajagal,
I'm sure you will enjoy the league and stay for the full 8 seasons.
Your 1515 rating. ( AS OF NOW!) all O.Ratings will be updated at League start. Places you at # 3 on the Team draft round.

Season 1 you will pick a Sub .500 team off the list of teams I have provided.
-----Once an owner picks a franchise that franchise is removed from the list.
------NO CLONE FRANCHISES.
_________________________
Season 2 all owners may TWIST one player off their roster, to "ANY" Season they want.
-------Then we will have a ( 1 ) round draft each season for a player available.
--------CUT a player from your roster and then draft " ANY " player from " ANY " Season from " ANY " Team that is available
-------NO CLONE PLAYERS
______________________
Thanks and enjoy RF

Two questions:
1) If you pick a team with fewer than 25 players in the database, you can get by with AAA in year 1. Assuming the number is low enough that you can't get to 25 in year 2, how do you fill out a roster?
2) For split seasons, can you take the combined season, or just the partial?
8/8/2017 10:28 AM
reddtrain , Great question.
1) If you pick a team with fewer than 25 players in the database, you can get by with AAA in year 1. Assuming the number is low enough that you can't get to 25 in year 2, how do you fill out a roster?

This is not the first time I have run a SUB .500 season team draft.
There are VERY FEW teams that do not have ( 25 ) players on the roster,
ESPECIALLY, when you use the Min. Games at ALL - and change 20 to 0 then check - Include secondary Positions
You usually get 4 to 5 more players that were NOT on the original download.
EXAMPLE: Download the 1935 Boston Braves and a player named Babe Ruth is NOT on the roster.
Change 20 to 0 and check Include secondary positions and there he is @ $ 463,920 - Always good for a TWIST or DRAFT

"IF" a team has at least ( 24 ) then we have the 60/20 Way below average AAA to fill the AB's and IP's for Season 1
THEN - "IF" you have ( 24 ) the Season 2 draft will give you ( 25 ) WITHOUT A CUT.
Then it's up to the owner if he wants to carry 1 or 2 $ 200 K scrubs,
Until he drafts players in the following seasons WITHOUT CUTS, Until he reaches ( 25 ) players.
THE OWNERS' DECISION.

NOTE! - I have found only ( 1 ) team EVER to have only ( 22 ) on a roster.
That was the 1919 Detroit Tigers. So, Ty Cobb , Harry Heilmann and Dutch Leonard and the DRAFT PICK for Season 2
had to squeak out wins for 2 more seasons to get from ( 23) to ( 25 ). They did it.
I can't remember who the DRAFT PICK was but, I know Cobb was the 1st twist.

2) For split seasons, can you take the combined season, or just the partial?

Whatever you like.
The player will keep that partial or combined for the remaining seasons
BUT, "IF" you decide to change from a combined to a partial or vice versa in a later season.
You will need to use one of your ( 7 ) available TWISTS OR ( 7 ) available DRAFT PICKS

P.S. reddtrain with this Owner Rating -11319
AS of Now - You would move to the # 2 SUB .500 Team Draft Pick
and if you enter ( 2 ) teams - 1 NL & 1 AL one of those - your choice would have the # 29 DRAFT PICK
# 2 & # 29 is what you would have. Double your chance to move on to Season 2

Check out the 1887 Pittsburgh Alleghenys. I'm not sure WHY you would subject yourself to this, but they only have 16 distinct players (13 hitters (one duplicate) and 4 pitchers) - and they are eligible to be drafted.

Either way, count me in for two teams. I can't imagine there's many more owners that will enter with worse ratings than I have, so hopefully my first choice team will survive until I can draft.

One other question: Can you twist players that appear on the roster for your team on Baseball-Reference, but don't appear on your roster on WIS?

And another: If someone takes the 1919 Red Sox, that eliminates Ruth from the roster of the 1935 Braves, right? If that happens, and the 1919 Red Sox get eliminated while the 1935 Braves survive, does Ruth become a twist option? Or is he only a draft option at that point?

NO. The only players you may use are the players you are able to download for the Season 1 roster.
WHY? Trying to figure out which players were on other teams and who picked them first. and the 2nd owner maybe having to change his team pick after other owners were all done, would be a NIGHTMARE!
Whatever players you are able to DOWNLOAD per WIS on your Season 1 roster is it.

YES! - NO CLONES.
The 1st owner to pick would DOWNLOAD his roster using the LDT - LIVE DRAFT TOOL
When an owner downloads a player / that player is ERASED from the SEARCH TOOL and is NO LONGER AVAILABLE

1919 Boston Red Sox - Babe Ruth 1919
Boston Red Sox eliminated in Season 1
Babe Ruth is back in the LDT for ALL owners to Draft in Season 2
