LAST CHANCE GOLD RUSH 200 million dollar live draft/ procedures



League will use the ATG II Historical Version of SOM Game. 200mm CAP, No D/H, Frenzy(if several managers will miss the frenzy we could opt for a waiver, at this point it is a frenzy)

We will slow draft rounds beginning as soon as draft order is settled, I will be using the pick 3 lottery from the evening of July 6, as soon as we can post the results, the slow draft may begin. I would like to see at least one round or twelve picks made per day during the slo drafting period. Coaches anticipate checking the thread once or twice a day. If your pick is approaching and you know you will be unavailable, please leave your proxy pick with me or one of the other trustworthy coaches. We want the line to keep moving. I understand this is summer, all it takes is for everyone to plan ahead and communicate and this will be a great ride.

League Draft will consist of a slow draft starting Friday July 7th(would like minimum six, max eight rounds) until July 14th(Night of Quick Draft). Stadiums will be picked anytime during the first four rounds in conjunction with a player pick, Quick Draft of six rounds and auto draft the remaining players to fill the roster. ALL TEAMS will enter the league Saturday July 15, with a frenzy that evening followed by a week period before opening day. This will give everyone a chance to trade, barter, steal, cajole, pry players from one team to another. Opening day will be July 24.

QUICK Draft may be extended if everyone is having fun and commited to knock out a few extra rounds. If after the three hour blitz limit we will poll the coaches to see if they want to do an extra round or two. I must get 100% consensus or we will stop.

There will be no clock (see below) until 7:30 p.m. Eastern Friday, 7/14/06 . No round will be started after 10:30 PM. Eastern unless by agreement of all managers. A three hour clock may be instituted for the second part of the slow draft if we are really lagging behind in completed rounds (looking for Six Round Minimum).

Clock time for the Quick-Pick Draft will be (5) Five Minutes per Selection, If Selection not made we will move on to next selection. Makeup Pick can be made at anytime, but if same player is selected, that player will go to the manager on the clock; no other decision will be made. Please make pick in the allotted time

Again All Teams will join the league on Saturday July 15th before Midnight Eastern, No exceptions as the Objective of this league will be a Friday Live Draft and Saturday nite frenzy and one week trading period.

Your Availability will be required on Friday evening, 7/14 at 7:30 eastern time for the Quick Draft and Frenzy.

League Opening Day will be Monday July 24

I would like to start slow drafting Sunday 7/07/06

When checking –in please make State Lottery Pick

Stadiums will be UNIQUE and picked during the first four rounds in conjunction with a player pick, No Duplicate Stadiums

State Lottery Picks will be used to determine Draft Position. Highest (999) to Lowest,(000) ZERO being Low

Divisions Assignments by Draft Positions

EAST: 12 11 10 9

CENTRAL: 8 7 6 5

WEST: 4 3 2 1

Trades of players and picks are allowed; Make sure all trades are posted clearly for all managers to read. Please keep value exchanges equitable and reasonable so as to prevent squabbles and decisions having to be made on allowing the trade.

I know every possible situations is not covered in the rules but any decisions that have to be made will be made as fairly as possible

Lastly everyone is to have fun and may this be one of the best seasons in the ATG Game
