I am currently participating in an offense-oriented league in ATG VI and it's been a lot of fun knowing you are not out of it if down 10-2 after 3 innings. Lots of 30+ run games. I wanted to see if there was interest in doing something similar with the 1969 set.

Rules:

1. 80M Cap (with cheap pitchers will be equivalent to a high cap league as far as hitters)
2. DH Yes
3. [b:a1577d9273]No pitchers greater than 2M salary[/b:a1577d9273]. Sonny Siebert is the highest priced pitcher available. Teams must carry 5 and only 5 pitchers capable of starting - all the rest are pure relievers (this is to assure all 12 teams get 5 of the exactly 60 available SP's below 2M in this set).
4. Draft will be randomized order and serpentine - on SOMDRAFT.COM - 24 rounds (23 players and a stadium - final two roster spots filled via autodraft).
5. Teams can carry any strat-legal roster (i.e can beef up to 28 players, or cut down to 24 after autodraft), as long as league rules are met.
6. Divisions will be East: Picks 1,4,7,10, Central: 2,5,8,11 and West: 3,6,9,12
7. Unique stadiums will also be by draft, to be taken any time, with the following 12 parks available:


Cleveland Stadium
Crosley Field
Dodger Stadium
Fenway Park
Fulton County Stadium
Jarry Park
Metropolitan Stadium
Shibe Park
Sicks Stadium
Tiger Stadium
Wrigley Field
Yankee Stadium

Can McCovey, Reggie, Hondo or someone else hit 100 HR's? Can any team get an ERA below 7 or 8? Will Buzz Aldrin get to take a step on the moon in July? For the answers to these and other questions, sign-up below!

What determines the draft order?? Pick 3 States?? Randomizer?? Rock, scissors, paper??

Though Rock, Paper Scissors is tempting, we will stick with a randomizer - done by third party via the ATG thread. I have used these in many leagues and they seem to work well.

Is trading allowed? Can draft picks be traded?

Why not? Subject to a fairness judgment. And as long as the other league rules are met.

I'm interested in this league but until Dec 31 I'll only be a hindrance. If the league hasn't filled by then, I'm in.
