New ATG 80's managers -AD Tonight!!

[Hakmusic]

:D :D Tonight's numbers :D :D


I don't think we should try to rush through the draft, we won't be starting till next monday anyway, I think its OK to take a moment to learn the teams.

After my #1 pick they become a little muddled.everybody will have some holes to fill.
be prepared and good luck with all them teams wjanssen...whew.

Just a couple reminders:

This is a DH league! I've put together two teams so far and in both cases forgot all about the DH. Pete Fox is currently my DH.

New players only. New versions of old players, i.e. Mantle, Collins, Fox, are all included.

Players not carded on a team are not on that team, i.e. Dewey Evans is not on the '78 Red Sox because he stayed on the '86 team.

Take your time, especially in the team draft and first couple rounds of the individual draft, then we will try to have the last couple of round move quicker.

You may trade anyone, but you can only FA pickup players from the undrafted teams. If I trade the rights to a player on my drafted team, the other manager keeps those rights, even if the player is in the FA pool.

Clarification: all your individual drafted players must be on your roster to be your property. i.e. you must autodraft them and they must stay on your roster, if you release one, he is free game like any other player on an undrafted team. The players on your drafted team, however, are yours and do not need to be on your AD or on your roster.

we will play 5, 10, 20 drop penalty (it is an advanced option), weighted waivers.

Finally, when decidiing on your team to pick, remember it is an $80 million league, fitting players in is tough.

any other thoughts, rules, or ideas?

Hak since we're not in a hurry why not up the draft picks : a team 1st choice and then 5 more or 6 to make it 6 or 7 rounds, 8 even , do I hear 9 ? . :D

Thoughts?? My thought was take our time on the first couple of rounds, no clock, discuss, etc. then finish up and get in in time for a next monday start. But I'm open for discussion.

One concern was that without Penn's site a longer draft could really drag on. This is OK with me as long as we are all on board with it from the start, and there isn't a split between the lets get it done people and the lets be mellow people.

Personally, I think the draft is the fun part of ATG, I don't mind an ATG draft going on for two weeks (or more) with trading and other banter during the draft. but I am aware that others don't feel the same way.

Since the rules say 3 rounds of individuals, we'll leave it as such unless there is a concensus to change it to a longer draft.

If it goes beyond three rounds though, it should change to a serpentine draft after the third round. I.e. the 4th round of the individual draft would be 1-12, and the 5th round would be 12-1, etc.

Sykes and Free Radicls, since you are tied, I propose we use the Friday midday pick 3 from your states to break the tie.

I forgot to specify. DOH! When the numbers started coming in, I took a quick look at some other leagues that didn't specify, and the default appears to be high to low. so that is why I was listing it that way. I think that is the proper way to go. Even though low-to-high would bring me Mantle. :cry:
