Poison Pill 2 Rules and Regulations

Postby the icemen » Tue Jan 10, 2006 8:28 am

[b:79260228ce]We had a great first season[/b The league will start in Feb sometime but we are going through a very slow live draft so everyone is not burdened to much trying to keep up with a live draft. 2 picks per day is the prevailing thought.

[b]Here are the rules and guidelines[/b:79260228ce]
Each team will have to choose a poison pill (themed limitation put onto the team) based on the state lottery drawing system. My thoughts are if you have the highest lottery number you choose if you want to pick your poison first or draft order first. If you pick your poison 1st then you will draft last. I am hoping to have 24 poison pills to choose from with all after tweaking similar in severity. The live draft will bring about a sense of interest to many but some find the time committment to be too much so we are going to have just 2 picks per day maximum...1 pick minimum. This way the only committment is to check in at least once and if it is not your turn...just leave a proxy pick...if you check back in you can select only 1 more time or leave another proxy or wait. The league hopefully will start in early to mid february. the draft will hopefully be on penns draft site...someone may want to ask him if it is ok. furhter instructions will be made if you are not familiar with draft sites etc... it really is quite simple...you will have to choose your poison and play with those limitations all year. All 12 teams will have some sort of poison. Division order will be a random draw as well. Unique stadiums and division allignment can be another lottery draw as well. We will need further discussion about the pills to make sure they are all similar in severity...we shouldn't spend too much time on it however since we are picking our own poisons....we just need to make sure there are no glaring differences...we all will think one is better than the other based on our managing styles. We should consider whether the draft should be serpentine or 1-12 1-12 1-12 because the lottery winner is choosing the first poison or draft order. Serpentine really is fair in itself in that you have the 12th pick and 13th to offset not getting number 1. Make sense? Any other ?'s

I will create a draft thread for choice of poison or picks.
Can someone gain permission to use the live draftsite?

Iceman, I just signed up. This league sounds like fun. You might want to edit the sign up post because it reads like only members from the first league are encouraged to sign up. It might be inhibiting new players from singing up too.

Okay, Icemen, you called me out on the "League Organization" post. How does the Poison Pill league work? What's the particular poison pill going to be in this league?
