Update...

I will set it up Saturday, and Round 1 starts on Sunday.
Will accept new 1st or 2nd team bids until then.

By my count, even if pick1or2 and chewy3344 both take a 2nd team, we are still one short right?

You are correct, The number 19 had gotten deleted.

We still need someone else to take another 1st or 2nd team. I am willing to take a 2nd team, but even then we need one more.

If we can get one more today, we can draft on Monday (etc).

As soon as we are full, I can do the random ordering and make sure 2 team owners are on each side.

I will take a 2nd team. Let's get this draft started,

great news rmarksduke !!! It might be fun to put the 4 owners with 2 teams in ONE division and then split the other 4 owners' teams into completely different divisions. Just a thought. No matter how it goes, looking forward to a really fun draft. Love this concept even if my teams stink at least, it will be fun drafting.
LETS GO!!

So, round 1 starts TOMORROW (Tues), and you will pick TWO players (probably good ones) from your primary team.
Pick a new player daily from the next team down the list.
I will make a selection guide with teams for each day (double checks appreciated). It will be in the draft thread:
https://www.whatifsports.com/forums/Posts.aspx?topicID=547523

Trades would hard (no double snake in this draft system) because you have to pick each team and each round. Might not be possible, feel free to look.

BUT, you will at least know your last few teams in case you want to plan to get a good RP or bench asset.
10/6/2025 3:35 PM
Although it is still technically Monday, you can pick today if you know what you want in round 1. It is due by end of day (eastern time) on Tuesday.

Use the other thread: https://www.whatifsports.com/forums/Posts.aspx?topicID=547523

Round 1 = you get two players from your main franchise. (due by Tues)
Round 2 and later = one player from the next franchise. (due by Wed, etc)
?
You can submit your stadium with round 24, but it needs to be one used by your franchise since 1969. Not much to pick from!

I don't care if people pick early (so long as all prior picks for that franchise are in), but you absolutely need to name the round and the franchise with each pick to avoid confusion. So if you WANT to do your round 1 pick tonight, feel free. Not due until Tuesday.

Example: "r2 padres Clay Kirby"

Please site mail or post here if you have any questions.
