YIKES (AGAIN)!!! SHIFTING SANDS -- Dose #2

[FoggyOne]

I will derive an order for posting themes tomorrow.

[The Biomechanical Man]

The bad news is that I will miss the Shifting Sands "fun."

The good news is that I will probably have more time now for the family, during the holiday season.

[FoggyOne]

Draft order will be done by pick 3--Highest first BUT, since we have time, first draft will go to the best theme as voted by the league (you can't vote for your own theme or enter into any voting arrangement):

1) UncleNY
2) Spicki
3) DocTax
4) Giddyup
5) Meat
6) Munich
7) Big Mahon
8. Memphis
9) ModMark
10) FoggyWock
11) Ranger
12) MRBBW

[FoggyOne]

Round 15 of the draft will be to "stick" any team NOT in your division with a stadium where no stadiums may be otherwise selected during the draft.

Fellas, I'm gonna be away from a computer for a couple of days, so I won't be able to post my theme until Monday at the earliest. Hope this isn't too big of a problem.

Cheers,

I'm not sure if it's been decided, but I'm in favor of all new themes. I think Foggy's in agreement. But whichever way it goes, good luck to all:

1. By uncle ny - CATCH AND RELEASE
The league will use graduated penalties for drops/adds. The SOM system works as follows:

games 1-41: 5%, games 42-80: 10%, games 81+: 20%

In this league, there will be three mandatory drop/adds as follows:

After games, 39, 78, and 117, each team will be required to drop its most highly compensated pitcher, most highly compensated outfielder, and most highly compensated infielder (excluding catcher) and replace them. The drops/adds will be done in the order of standings based on record, with the top team going first. Ties will be decided based on run differential. Each team will have two hours to do this with the clock running 9-9, Eastern time, so that each team will be able to complete its changes before the change in penalty kicks in. Any team that misses its turn will be required to add its next most highly compensated pitcher and infielder so that he/she will be required to drop 5, not 3, and will do so in the 12th spot regardless of whether the penalty has changed.

Please feel free to post any questions and I will answer them so that there are no ambiguities existing regarding CATCH AND RELEASE when the league starts.
