I went from 16 to 1 this time. New team owners were slotted in the middle of the pack as if they at .500 records last season. Lowest performers had the most points, best performers had the lowest. Typical draft lottery set up.

Remember, you cannot draft the same team you had last season!

The dramatic music was a great touch.

It was either the NFL music, or the NBA. It needed music either way!

Awesome!

I love the video reveal!

Honestly, so do I. Takes only a few minutes to put together and adds a little fun to the process. I'm not even upset with getting the 11th pick. Hahaha!

That music brings back LOTS of memories!!
That's very fun!

That was great! And I got the 5th pick again. Let's see if I can do better this time!

@tgrun & Akira - thanks, you two! Glad you enjoyed it!

Can we use twist players who are on the BB-Ref roster but don't have a WIS season in 1907?

Yes, you absolutely can!

I have a question about this rule: " If there is a shortage of players on your roster, you may select a player from that franchise’s previous 3 seasons before the current WIS season. These players are ineligible to be twisted and must have a max AB of 400, or a WHIP of 1.30 or higher – there is no salary cap restriction on these players."

So does that mean if there are, for example, 23 eligible WIS players for my team I have to use them all and can only take 2 players who meet the shortage requirement? Or can I leave off a weaker eligible player and use someone else from the above group?

You must take what WIS gives you when you upload the team and the remaining two are to come from the previous 3 seasons. Now, keep in mind that you can go on to BBRef.com and pick players that may not meet the WIS requirements to be on the Minimum 20 games played, and twist that player, that would eliminate the need for the filler player, but it does count against your twist amounts.
