COMBO THEME LEAGUE

1969 season - $80M, yes DH, unique stadiums

1. Each manager will have a base team and a supplemental team, and will have exclusive rights to their base team throughout the season, and to their supplemental team though the draft. Once waivers start undrafted supplemental players are eligible to be taken.

2. After the draft all undrafted supplemental team players are eligible to all other teams for the entire season. Base team players are off-limits to all other teams for the entire season.

3. You must choose your stadium from either your base team or your supplemental team.

4. Effective game one through the playoffs you can have no more than THREE supplemental players from other teams. You cannot add anyone else's base team players anytime during the season.

5. Integrity, honesty, and fair play are a must.

6. The first team listed is the base team and the second team is the supplemental team.

1. RickSmith Tigers and Royals.

Rick, This is a rerun of a league that just finished and that Detroit/KC team won 99 games and had the best record in the league by 10 games.

Lets try something different like lotto for a draft order and everybody can pick each of their teams seperately in a snake draft.

You are right Detroit - KC is a great team, so to be fair I will switch to another team. This is a great set up for a league, I would eventually like to try all 12 teams.

Any interest in setting this up on a lottery basis in which the owners get to pick their teams via serpentine?

Now there is a DH. I don't like the serpentine draft of teams. Because somoene might get Baltimore and the Reds. Another person could get the Royals and Padres. This way your not starting out even. In the original way you are.
