4. Pick a state with a Pick 3 Lotto. This will determine draft order.
5. Draft starts after filling league.
6. 3 hour T.L. for each pick beginning in Round II (9am-midnight EDT) On weekends clock will expand to 6 hours, but does not stop.
7. Divisions are 1/4/7/10 in East and so on.
8. Remaining 13 players are Autodrafted.
[b:4cbbfdeb7e]Theme/Draft Rules: [/b:4cbbfdeb7e]
1) Each Owner picks 1 Hitter AND 1 Pitcher in the first two rounds. Obviously if you take a hitter in Round 1, you would take a Pitcher in Round 2.
2) Each Owner owns the rights to the team from which his first pick is made for the first TWO rounds of the draft. For example: Santana is picked first. No succeeding Owner may take a Met player until after the first TWO rounds are completed. At the onset of Round 3 all players are fair game.
3) Your Stadium must be from the home park of one of your first two picks. If (this is important) you do not pick your stadium with your first pick, you MUST use the stadium from the team of your second pick. For example: Owner 1 with the Santana pick doesn't declare Citi Field as his park. He cannot pick Citi in Round 2. The only exception would be if he chose another Met player in Round 2. Then his park would obviously be Citi Field.
4) As previously stated, ALL players are eligible to be drafted AFTER Round II.
5) There will be ONE additional Round after the 12 Round Live Draft called the [i:4cbbfdeb7e]Give & Take[/i:4cbbfdeb7e] or the [i:4cbbfdeb7e]Screw Your Neighbor Round[/i:4cbbfdeb7e] (both are acceptable ) "SYN" for short.
6) Pick 3 Lotto will be done again on a night TBD just before the completion of Round XII. This SYN Round is a completely new order from the original draft.
7) No trading draft spots after the draft has begun.
8) Important: First Two players picked and the SYN Round pick cannot be dropped at anytime, nor can they be traded.
[color=red:4cbbfdeb7e]Screw Your Neighbor Round Rules: [/color:4cbbfdeb7e]
* Each owner gets to pick ANY player drafted by another Owner that was picked after Round II. Once an owner loses a player, he cannot lose any more players. Therefore each owner loses a player, AND gains a player.
* The player(s) picked in the Screw Your Neighbor round CAN NOT be re-stolen during this round
* Sign-Ups are open ONLY to former Owners of one of my theme leagues until Fri. April 9th at Noon. After that if it is not filled it will be open to all. If you haven't played in one of my themes and are interested in this put your name down as an alternate.
[i:4cbbfdeb7e]*******************Lastly and most important. I'm going to run a tight ship here during the draft. Time Limits will be honored, but continually holding up the draft will not be tolerated. Don't sign up if you cannot keep the draft moving at a fair pace. Your cooperation here will be greatly appeciated by all 12 Owners.[/i:4cbbfdeb7e]
