Rules
Once we get 24 owners, each team will site-mail me the name of one player they want on their roster. If NOBODYelse requests that player, that team gets them (whatever version/season they choose). Any player who is requested by 2 or more teams immediately gets blacklisted from all rosters and is off the board going forward. The teams that don’t get their first request will then submit a second name and we repeat this process until all teams have their first player. That will be round 1.
We then repeat that entire process for the remaining 24 rounds.
Players are exclusive, so if someone makes a successful request, that player is off the board for other teams.
Yes. . . . the blacklist could get quite large, and this might take a while, but it will be fun and should produce some very interesting rosters. Do you request a high-end player hoping others will “assume” they won’t get him and you sneak one by? Or do you look for someone that you think will get overlooked in a given round?
As commish, I will send my pick to one of the first few submitters each round BEFORE I open any requests.
Please make the subject of your site-mail “Request - X.Y” where X is the round 1-25 and Y is the request iteration within that round. That will help me keep them straight in my inbox.
If an owner submits a player who is on the blacklist or has already been selected, that request will be treated as if it is a matching request; that is, that owner will need to wait until the next iteration in that round to submit another request.
Each owner will then create their 3 teams using a different season for every one of the 25 players they drafted. To be clear, each of the 3 teams will have the same 25 exclusive players won through the draft using different seasons.
Since there is no salary limit on any of the 3 teams, how you distribute the better seasons for your players is up to you.
Tournament scoring system will be identical to the WISC system:
1 point for each regular season win
5 points for getting into the playoffs
1 point for every playoff win
5 points for every playoff series won
At the end of the tournament, I will pay for 2 prizes:
1) $30 to the overall winner of the tournament
2) $20 to the World Series winner who had the best regular season record (enhancing the distribution challenge).
Other specifics:
$255mm Salary Cap on all 3 teams
Yes DH, No WW, No AAA, No Trades, No Clones, No SLL, No <300k exception (must only use drafted players)
Injuries turned on.
Player seasons eligible to be used 1885-2019 allowed if they hit the database before the draft is over
Multi-Team players: All seasons allowed (full, combined or partial)
Ballpark: Must use a park that one of your rostered players played in for each league
Division alignment - Random
I will frequently reconfigure the title of this forum. The header will show what round we are in and how many picks are needed for results of that round to be posted. I plan to update that frequently as picks come in. That way, you all can see the progress regularly without having to click into the forum itself. Currently, we are on Round 1.1 and need 24 out of 24.
