[b:05b0af23e1][u:05b0af23e1]Tim Redding Theme League Rules: [/b:05b0af23e1][/u:05b0af23e1]

1. This will be a normal Autodraft
2. $80M/advanced/DH/weighted waivers/10% drop penalty

Now for the fun! This will be a hitting league. If you love pitching, turn your head, run away and get the heck out of dodge!

1. Nobody can own any SP over $1M. If you own a SP/RP over $1M he must be used in relief only. The penalty for an SP/RP over $1M starting will be benching your highest salaried hitter for 1 series (3 games). This doesn't apply if there's an injury forcing someone else to start.

2. The max number of SP's under $1M is Five.

3. Everyone will play in 1 of 4 stadiums, with no duplicate stadium within a Division. When you sign-up you place yourself in a Division and list your park. These are the 4 stadiums to be used:

Coors
Ameriquest
Citizen's Bank
US Cellular

4. Other than all your starters being less than $1M, everyone else can play.

5. How you fill out your draft card will be crucial. Some things I can think of are:

a. Do you try and pick the best SP's under a Mil
b. Do you try and get the best relievers
c. Do you go for the sluggers

This will be fun to say the least, especially those who love Hitting.

Now, the name of the league is the Tim Redding Theme League. I'm sure you've been asking yourself why did he name the league that? Has Jeep lost it? The answer is no, although debatable.

Here's why:

After Dewon Brazelton, Tim Redding may be the worst pitcher in the deck. The 2nd highest WHIP and the highest ERA. So he gets the honor of naming rights. Besides Jeep already has Dewon Brazelton immortalized.

---Here's what everyone must do to comply with the theme:

* Everyone, all 12 Owners must put Redding on their draft card at the 25th and last spot. So someone will get Redding, won't they? Obviously yes.

* The owner who gets him must keep him and use him for the entire season, never dropping him.

* The owner who gets him as a reward gets to claim any player not drafted after the AD and before waivers. IOW, that owner essentially has a #1 waiver pick, as no owners may put a claim on the player the Redding owner declares. So Redding actually becomes a reward for the Manager who gets him.

Sound Like Fun? Join up below...everyone is welcomed to join. However this is not a "make a few moves and leave it" type of league. Active Managers please. Our goal is to be up & running by Friday June 23rd with a June 26th start date.

Guys,

I'm heading out of town Wednesday morning around 8:00 EST and will be gone until Thursday evening. Hopefully the Central will fill this evening and I can enter before I leave....if not, I will do so Thursday night.

If you want to replace me, I will understand.
