[b:b77cb66d5f]Card Set:[/b:b77cb66d5f] 2009 (Yankee's last Championship)

[b:b77cb66d5f]Rules:[/b:b77cb66d5f] All managers MUST DRAFT and KEEP FIVE (5) players from the Yankees, Indians, and Mets on their rosters at all times. Why the Indians and Mets? Well, in the last 50 years, the Yankees have shared the most players in the AL with the Indians (491), and in the NL with the Mets (396).

That makes a draft pool of 95 players. With 5 players from each team, it will leave room for each manager to have 9 - 12 players from other teams to round out the roster.

You [b:b77cb66d5f]WILL [/b:b77cb66d5f]be able to cut or trade any of your initial 15 picks. But you must keep a [b:b77cb66d5f]5-5-5 balance[/b:b77cb66d5f] on your roster for each team. Trades must immediately satisfy the 5-5-5 balance. So if you trade an Indian and a Met, you need to get back an Indian and a Met.

[b:b77cb66d5f]Draft:[/b:b77cb66d5f]
[u:b77cb66d5f]Option 1[/u:b77cb66d5f]: We will have a 5 round draft (serpentine, random number generated) on the message board. In each round a manager's pick consists of 3 selections (1 from each team). The remaining selections will be handled via auto-draft and waivers.

[u:b77cb66d5f]Option 2[/u:b77cb66d5f]: All autodraft.

[b:b77cb66d5f]Salary Cap:[/b:b77cb66d5f] $80mil
[b:b77cb66d5f]Waiver Penalty:[/b:b77cb66d5f] 20%
[b:b77cb66d5f]DH:[/b:b77cb66d5f] Yes
