Hi,

We have 2 openings for an AL Only Keeper League. It is a 12 team league.

Check us out here in the ILC:

Here are the league rules.

12 team AL only Keeper League (Use the current set of cards).

1. 26 round draft you can draft your AL Stadium in any round.

2. Only players carded to an AL team can be drafted and kept.

3. Draft on the boards and use a 30 min. clock. Pick times will run from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. EST (times will be posted and you will know what times you will draft each day). This will take us about 12 days to draft (I have used this method for plenty of leagues in the past and it works great). We will not have a clock for drafting during the weekends although picks can be made just don’t skip anyone on the weekends. No Clock for the first round/day please be ready to draft during your time and remember to send a proxy to someone if you can’t. When the clock is on a player can be skipped. We will use a randomizer for the order of our first draft.
4. $200 mil. cap; all roster transactions will use the 10% Free Agent penalty. We will use the frenzy to pick up/adjust your roster after the draft.

5. Only one season for each card set.

6. No prospect draft.

7. The initial draft is serpentine. After the first draft they will be based on records with an NBA draft lottery for the first round.

8. 1) The first 3 draft positions of the draft (except for our initial draft) will be determined by weighted NBA type draft lottery of the eight teams with the worst records (i.e. non playoff teams). All other draft choices and all other rounds are chosen in reverse order of finish.
2) The lottery works like this, We will have a list of five states, WI, AZ, CT, NJ, and CA, in this order.
3) The annual spring free agent will be determined by the lottery numbers on the first day AFTER the previous season's Strat postseason ends that the lottery occurs in those states.
4) We will take the pick 3 of the first state (WI), using only the last two numbers and use the chart below to determine who receives the first choice. We'll use AZ to choose the second choice, and CT to choose the third. If any of the first 3 states are duplicates (say WI and AZ numbers both choose the team with the 8th best record, then we use the last two states (NJ and CA). If after 5 states, we still have not chose 3 choices, then we go in reverse order after the choices that have been chosen.

Record of Team-last two numbers of pick 3 #

worst team 01-25 (25%)
11th best team 26-45 (20%)
10th best team 46-63 (18%)
9th best team 64-78 (15%)
8th best team 79-88 (10%)
7th best team 89-94 (6%)
6th best team 95-98 (4%)
5th best team 99-00 (2%)


example: On the day of the draft the numbers are WI-1(94), AZ-7(08), CT-3(19), NJ-8(66), The first choice goes to the team with the 7th best record, because of WI 94, the second choice goes to the team with the worst record because of AZ - 08, the 3rd choice would also have gone to the worst team, but the same team can not have 2 draft choices, so we got to the tiebreaker state, NJ, and the 66 means the 3rd choice goes to the team with the 9th best record. the 5th state is not needed.
The 4th pick goes to the team with the second worst record, and from this point on we go in reverse order of W-L record among teams who did not draw a high choice.

9. Draft picks are tradeable. As well as your players the Commish has final say on all trades.

10. All ties between teams will be broken by the previous seasons head to head win/loss records. If this does not break the tie, then we will use run differential, record within the division if from the same division, record against playoff teams, and finally a randomizer. (Go back to head to head once a tie has been broken if more than 2 teams).

11. [color=red:6baf64b8df]Cut 12 players each year[/color:6baf64b8df]/be able to only keep 15 players. If you somehow wind up short players through trades there will be a supplemental round to even things out.

12. [color=red:6baf64b8df]May keep 27 guys on your team [/color:6baf64b8df]and not more than that (if you have injuries you will play short that many players, or pick up a player from the FA pool. Remember if you drop a player someone else might pick them from the FA pool so be careful on your drops/adds).

13. To sign up and be part of the league you must send me your email address that way we will be able to say in touch better. Mine is sportspage2_2000@yahoo.com

14. Use only AL Stadiums. Stadiums can be changed through trade or drafted, after a season has been played an owner may draft a new stadium. [color=red:6baf64b8df]Just declare that you are going to drop your stadium if you want to change to an empty stadium for the next year. [/color:6baf64b8df]

15. Use unleashed/additional players if [color=red:6baf64b8df]Strat[/color:6baf64b8df] makes them available.

16. Divisional assignments will change each season. They will be based on records East 1,4,7, & 10 Central 2, 5, 8, & 11 West 3, 6, 9, & 12. This same seeding will be used to determine the divisions for the first season of play based on the draft order.

17. All teams must meet SOM roster requirements at all times. Except for the rule that you must carry 11 pitchers and 14 hitters ([color=red:6baf64b8df]you can carry any combo of pitchers and hitters just as long as it meets Strat requirements and doesn’t go over the 27 man limit)[/color:6baf64b8df]. In the event of an unbalanced trade the owner of the team whose roster exceeds the 27 man limit must return to the limit before any games have been played (penalty would be having to sit your highest salary of an uninjured hitter for the next series after the penalty is discovered).

18. All rule changes must pass by a super majority – 9 owners or more.

19. When we have to get a replacement owner(s) they will come in with full voting rights as soon as I accept them into the league. If we have more than one owner drop a lottery/randomizer will be run to determine which replacement owner gets which team.

20. All other [color=red:6baf64b8df]Strat/SOM[/color:6baf64b8df] rules apply.

I have not done a keeper league, but I’m interested in being a fill in, but need clarification of the draft. Are we keeping 15 current roster players and drafting only 12? If that’s the case, why 26 rounds? or must you keep 15 current players on the roster or can you drop as many as you like?? say drop 20 and keep 7 draft 20 new players?? Would like to know the answers before signing the contract to take over Dale K's team, as Dale's K team hitting is suspect to say the least and needs alot of work. :shock: Coach
State: NJ

Hi coachteel,

We keep 15 players off the current rosters. That 26 rounds you were reading I am guessing was for our first draft. We drafted 25 players and a stadium. After that we switched to having 27 players on your roster.

You don't have to keep 15 players, but if you keep less than that you have to make up those picks in a supplemental draft after everyone has made their picks so a player that might not look so good on a current roster tends to look a little better when you have to start picking players that low down in the draft to fill out your roster.

Let me know what you think or if you have any more questions.

Having done some homework, rebuilding the Ice Penquins will be a daunting task. Three remaining pitchers don't exist in the 2011 set unless in 2011u and one pitcher Putz has a NL card. On the hitting side, three remaining players don't exist in the 2011 set unless in 2011u, while three more have moved to the national league (Laird, Pena, & Rivera). So, that takes up 10 drafting slots ( my assumption is we have to drop players that moved to the national league in the 2011 set) , plus in the 2011 set many of the remaining Ice Penquin roster players had horrrific stats. I know why Frank M likes evan's team which has Ellsbury, Gordon, Napoli, & Kotchman having career years in the 2011 set. I will waive my rights for a lotto on Evan's team hoping Frank M will return the favor some day. Therefore, count me in, I will sign a contract to take over the Ice Penquins against my better judgement. I guess I enjoy a challenge. How soon will the draft start? and will it be an AUTO DRAFT 200 mil u? If so, you will provide a list of returning roster players from the other teams for us, so we won't draft them. I will be gone at the end of the month, but can do proxies. Coach

Hi coachteel,

I will send you an email of the listed keepers so far. Just you and FrankM will have to post your keepers and we can get started drafting in fairly short order.
