AL and NL league-Draft tonight!! Thanks for your patience!

[JONCHUCKERY]

A few things I want to make sure I have straight...

1. All remaining players we auto draft must still follow the draft rules we did on the site
2. Once auto draft is done we can trade players amonst opposing leagues as long as they have at least one year in that league
3. Does this mean we may place waiver claims on players with 1 or more seasons or does waivers follow draft rules?
4. Once FA hits are all 1 year more players available to their respective leagues?

i still do not understand why we are changing the rules. Understand the trading bit, but I like the rules the way they are personally. TO me, it totally confuses the great concept if you change it now....

Live draft is over. Lets start loading. Did somebody in the east already create the league?

[quote:20a426f7d0="LMBombers"]Lets see if we can all get loaded on Monday. If that doesn't happen I won't be around at waiver time or for days after waivers run leaving me with nothing. I know you guys probably think "cry me a river LM" :cry:

I hate to make the league wait another week just for me so I'll do my part.[/quote:20a426f7d0]
Please load for LMB or he may blow up your house ([b:20a426f7d0]L[/b:20a426f7d0]ockheed [b:20a426f7d0]M[/b:20a426f7d0]artin [b:20a426f7d0]B[/b:20a426f7d0]ombers). LMB give me your password and I'll make your waivers claims for you :)

There has not been a change to the rules.

Period.

Let me try to use different words to see if everyone follows:

If you are a AL owner, the ONLY way you can acquire a player with 4 years in the NL league and one year in the AL is via a trade.

You cannot draft that player.
You cannot select that player on waivers or as a free agent at ANY point during the season.

The only players available to you via draft, waivers and free agency is the Excel file that was sent to each of you. You will see a column titled "league"-it will read AL, Both, or NL. That is your guide.

If a player has all 5 years with one league, he can only be traded to owners in the same league.

If a players has 4 years in one league and one in the other, you can trade for that player. Again, read the original posting-the rules are stated there.

I originally posted this idea in early June and received very minimal interest. I consulted with some who expressed an interest and those who did not and one suggestion was to loosen the trading restriction. In an attempt to get this league off the ground, I made that change.

Guys, let's not let this get in the way-the number of trades is extremely minimal in most leagues and I suspect this one will be similar.

Let's try to load the league so LMBombers can participate in the waiver process.

10-4. As long as it only applies to trading I am good....Lock and load...

Question...

Is everyone putting their draft picks at the top of their ranking list or at the bottom since the players are exclusive?

[LMBombers]

bottom of the AD card.
