16 Players, 16 Seasons, Version 23
$130M Salary Cap
DH = Yes (Nine hitters / seven pitchers will be nominated)
Eligible Seasons - All (the All-Star rule will limit players to the All-Star Game era)
BLACKLIST - Players who played in playoffs, players drafted 2+ times or drafted in last three versions
ALL-STAR SEASON - You must use a season where your nominated player made the all-star team
.
This is a 16 team league. Each owner will nominate 1 player that has played 16 seasons* or more in their career. Once all 16 players are announced, a draft order will be determined and each owner will draft a different season of each player nominated to be on their team. So all 16 teams will own the same 16 players, but each with a different version of that player. The other 9 rosters spots will be filled with teammates of your 16 drafted players.
.
* Note that if a player played 15 years, but played for 2 different teams in one season, that counts as 16 (you'll understand why after reading the remaining rules ). To determine number of player seasons, choose Pos = ALL, Min Games = 0, Check "Include Secondary Positions" and set Season Type = Full/Combined. Both teams of a multi-team player can be drafted (but you must choose the partial or combined season). The partial and combined season from the same team cannot be drafted.
.
A revised lineup will be used for nominations so we'll need C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF, DH and 7 pitchers (at least 4 SP & 1 RP). The DH slot can be any position. For players who played more than one position, there will be some leeway on which position he qualifies at (i.e., Alex Rodriguez can be 3b or ss).
.
Upon signup, post your nominated player in the forum and site-mail me which of his seasons you are going to use. I will choose my player after at least five players have been selected. Once all 16 players are chosen, I'll post the seasons selected and the draft order. We'll have a 15 round draft to select the other 15 seasons used for each player. Draft order for each round will be based on the cumulative salary going into that round (lowest salary drafts first).
.
PLAYING TIME RULE: Not in use this version
.
Here's where it gets fun
The remaining 9 roster spots must be filled with teammates of your drafted/nominated players. They must be from the same season. No Twisting. Nominated players cannot be used as teammates. If you draft a player season with 2+ teams, you choose which version of that season you want, and can only take teammates from that team. (This is how a player who played 15 years, but had a multi-team season can be allowed. Or similarly, a player who played 14 years, w/ two multi-team seasons is allowed, etc.). There is no limit on number of teammates per drafted player. Many drafted players will not have any teammates rostered. Some will have two or more. Usually, your nominated player will have a few good teammate options.
