First of all, congrats to Palanion! :D
I talked to Doug yesterday, but the draft site didn't come up in detail, other that he is planning to add ATGIII sometime, just not a priority for him at the moment. Mostly talked about golf, Ireland, and crazy neo-cons. :) And of course the fact that he was able to quit STRAT cold turkey. "You'd be amazed how much time I have to waste my time doing other things!"
I'll give him another call to ask him about the site and perhaps an ETA.

Sounds good to me either here or with Penn's site. I'm tuned in and awaiting the last few teams.

Started the following thread on Individual League Chat to begin the drafting... see there for summary of rules, draft order, and so on.

Okay doing a little catching up with this one. Do I understand that this is an $80 Mil No DH serpentine draft with round 1 being teams only? Does this mean that we can only use the players from our drafted team/players and no free agents later. THis is restricted to only the new teams added for ATG3 correct. I just have to say that with the current teams and SN specifically announcing that this was about players not teams that a serpentine draft under this format is ridiculously unfair for the teams at the end of the 1st round. We have to come up with a more equitable solution than this. At least the individual draft should be nonserpentine with all new players available after the end of a 6 round draft.

mforfun...
After scrubbing thru "teams" for who I would pick, I agree that serpentine for player rounds may not be most equitable.
Thus, I propose that EACH of the 6 player rounds would be 12, 11, 10,..., 2,1 so that the managers who got the worst pick of the teams would at least get advantage for the 6 player rounds.. any objections, speak up, but i do think this is fair and equitable.. given the sharp dropoff that whole teams have over the first 12 picks.
Round 1 teams... order is 1,2,3,4
Round 2 new players... order is 12,11,10,...
Round 3 new players... order is 12,11,10,...
-----
Round 6 new players... order is 12,11,10,...
Round 7 new players... order is 12,11,10,...
As to the other parts of the question...
- Yes, 80M, No DH
- the only limitation on players is THEY MUST BE ON ONE OF THE NEW 23 ATG-3 TEAMS... even if a player was in ATG-2, if they are included ON ONE OF the 23 new teams, they are eligible.. e.g. Averill, etc.
- you have total rights for the full season to every player on the team you select, when they are in the waiver pool, only the manager who has that team can pick up players 9and of course they can trade them)
- you live draft 6 players
- even after the 6 player rounds, anyone can pick up any other undrafted NEW TO ATG-3 player via draft-card, post-draft frenzy, or add-drop... so if you still don't have a solid team after the full team pick + 6 players, there's still opportunity to pick up other players who are both undrafted and on teams that were not drafted
- trades are fully allowed, whether they are from your selected team or individual player selections
Any other questions from anyone, please post.
