In 255M, do we have to announce season at the time we draft a player?

And will the 255M draft be limited to players who have been drafted in the 7 seasons of deal so far?

Why am I even bothering to read this, lol?

Yes (posting their salary will be helpful too)

For the $110M, isn't a very high percentage of players see some type of salary increase every update? Only the most obscure players are remaining static/falling (look at the huge decreasing availability of the $200K floor players as an example). The blacklist will likely be only the most obscure players (that almost nobody would want to put on their roster anyway). Or am I misunderstanding what the theme description says...

Good catch, that's a typo. The restriction is that they must have increased each time and by a minimum of 2% total. This currently leaves over 1000 hitters and about 400 pitchers.

For 90M, are all 300K players allowed, or di they have to be related to teams you choose?

Must be from one of the franchises you chose.

Question on the $80M:

I assume each chain must be unique in that none of the other players can appear on the roster of other players?

ex. almost no way to use the Yankee core 4 as they all appeared on the same roster (even if you did a chain like 96 Rivera => 97 Posada => 98 Pettite => 99 Jeter) assuming all your other players in the chain was ok. This makes checking rosters crazy hard and do we have to use BR to check if someone played like 1 game on the 96 Yankees?

Yep. It will be somewhat tedious to verify on my end as well, but there can be no overlap of players. Your example would be invalid since those players played together on multiple teams that you are using. The idea here is a true chain. One link to the next, through the history of the game.

You are not out of it by any means

Do you know roughly when the round 2 deadlines will be?

Good question. With the next pricing update scheduled to go live on Tuesday, October 10th, and all playoffs for Round 1 ending by October 14th (or 15th if we have any three-way ties for playoff spots), the 255M draft will be able to start shortly after. A four-person draft should take approximately a week, slightly more with the stadium round included, which puts us around Sunday, October 22nd.

I'd like to have all teams in by Sunday, November 26th (the end of Thanksgiving weekend in the States). Approximately 5 weeks from when the draft will end should be more than enough time. All owners should have three teams in at least two weeks before the final deadline, which is Sunday, November 12th.

I'll formalize this in a separate thread.

For the 80M league, are you using BR rosters or WIS rosters to determine if a player is eligible/ineligible

BR

Assuming 2017 teams will be eligible?

For all leagues except the 110M (and 255M, realistically, since none have been drafted in D.E.A.L. before)
