As discussed in our league mail, each owner will select one of the 12 teams from 1969 that were not selected in the original Dirty Dozen League via a draft. The franchise selection/draft order will be inverse order of finish, according to W/L record, run differential being the tiebreaker.
After the franchise draft, the first step will again be to select 12 players from that franchise that you will reserve. This will be done by "closed ballot" (i.e. e-mailed or PM'd to me - I will e-mail/PM my list to another owner to keep me honest). After each owner has selected his 12 franchise players, we will add up the salaries for them, then hold a 10 round serpentine draft for players 13-22 (we will draft here on this thread). The final three roster spots will be via the draft card.
The free agent player draft order will be in reverse order of the total salaries of the 12 players reserved (lowest 12-man initial payroll gets top pick, highest gets 12th pick). So there is obviously some strategy in who you pick. Any non-reserved players are available for the ten round draft (whether from one of the 12 selected franchises or not).
League will be as follows:
• 80M League, advanced
• No DH
• Waivers
Your franchise's home stadium must be used.
Each owner must keep a minimum of 12 players from your franchise on your team during the course of the season - can add and drop, subject to the usual penalty, as long as you have 12 from your team at the beginning of each night's games
Please sign-up below - the current 12 Dirty Dozen owners have exclusive access to the sign-up until the playoffs are complete in the first league. If we cannot fill we will open it up to new owners as well.
Thanks and let's have another fun season! :)
