Here are the rules we used....

K, Twist first..

The first round, will have 13 teams available to draft 1990 A's to 77 Dodgers

The 2nd round, will have 13 teams available to draft 77 Phillies to 59 Cubs

The 3rd round will have 13 teams available to draft 59 White Sox to 34 Cards

And the last round will have 12 teams available to draft 29 Cubs to the 03 Pilgrims

There will be a different draft order for EVERY round (Pending everyones approval of Nathan's idea)

now, the basics....

80 MILLION CAP NO DH

Stadium comes from one of your drafted teams
3 undrafted teams are available immediately

And last but not least, the last 3 managers to draft in ROUND 4 ONLY have a choice between the 3 previous unchosen teams, or the ones that are left for them in the last round (so manager drafting #10 will have 6 teams to choose from, manager #11 will have 5 teams to choose from, manager #12 will have 4 teams to choose from

So, pick a state when you join.

Rules that will be different
1. Serpitine draft that will mean pick just one state.
2. 80 million cap think that might even it up a little for all
3. Frenzy on the 3 remaining teams right away.
4. No DH

I really like the idea of this 4-team draft! I have a couple of concerns with the rules. Granted these may not be etched in stone at this time. One is the $100,000,000 cap with the use of the DH. Most of us are probably more comfortable with the $80 million cap. I, for one have never been in a league that used a DH!

Also, I think the draft would be more fair for everybody if we did NOT have a new draft every round. I feel that the 2nd round should be the direct opposite of the first. In other words, whoever gets the first pick in the 1st round would get the last pick in the 2nd. We could either keep this order throughout the draft OR we could have another lottery for the 3rd round, then do the reverse order again the the 4th round. Just a thought. What do you guys think??

Commish:

please hear my thoughts on the serpentine draft order. they are below.

CHOPS:

Here are my thoughts about the draft order. fine to use pick-3 results (highest to lowest) on a given night using 12 states to generate a draft order from 1 to 12. After that i would use the following draft order.

ERA 1: (most recent 13 teams)
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12

ERA 2:
12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

ERA 3:
7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6

ERA 4: (earliest 12 teams)
6,5,4,3,2,1,12,11,10,9,8,7 (team 9,8,7 can also choose one of the 3 reject teams from the other ERAs)

I feel this is the fairest way. all 12 teams get a top 3 pick in one of the rounds (as well as a bottom 3 pick)

Here is another option on the draft order. There might be a little more work involved, but would involve more stategy and maybe more fun: Who ever has the #1 pick doesn't have to necessarily pick first. He could have any pick he wants 1-12. Lets say for example he wants to have the 4th pick, then the 2nd guy would pick any choice other than the 4th. So-on and so-on until all 12 managers have made a selection. After the first round, the rest of the draft would be the "New and improved Nate Rud method of drafting".
Just a thought guys. What do you think?

Rules like the Wraith wrote out a few post back except for the Nate new and improved draft order. The divisions made are the first four in the east the next four the central the last four the west so you Luverne people be careful when you enter your team. We will use Wednesdays pick 3 if 2 pick 3 in 1 day use the early numbers High number pick 1 in first round and first team in the east and so on.
Any more questions there are peolpe in this league a lot smarter than me so leave a note and someone else feel free to answer. chops

Fox, thanks for sumerizing all that in one post. I wanted too, but was too lazy/busy with sick 22 month old. Seems, like Melissa (the wifey) gave our son some monir food poisoning (slightly bad beef). She too is a lil sick. I dont eat sloppy joes, what she made, so I had PB&J instead. Anyway, trying to keep him hydrated, and cool at the same time as trying to keep him up a lil yet, so as I can do those things.....

He's getting a lil cranky.

but, on a side note!! Ever see those carbonated water products? Just flavored water, and if ya look long enough, you can find ones that are sodium free, and sugar free, and caffiene free. All it basically is, is just flavored, carbonated water. Well, our son calls it SODA, and if we have Pepsi, or Coke, he now can have his SODA too, and we dont hafta fret over sugar or anything like that. Plus, its just bubbly water. Helping big time tonight keeping the lil guy hydrated

Yes, if we trade we would both stay in the new order throughout the draft. So if you traded with me you would have the 1st pick in round 1, last pick in round 2, the 7th pick in the 3rd round and the 6th pick in the 4th round. I am willing to trade if you want.

rod,

quit your moaning and groaning and make your pick. i am anxiously awaiting the revealing of your draft strategy.

if you don't pick this morning, i'm not coming back to buy that second set of readers for home. so there!

i suppose chops could say you're out of time and just skip you.. (the vikings are good at that one).

rocket rod,

trying to make you pick a team before 3 pm when chops gets off work and officially tells Lais to go ahead is like ...a...well, it's going to be difficult i can tell already.

anyhow, lais picks next and he works til 6pm so it's going to be a quiet day anyhow. better get back to saving lives.

Rod = NO Yount Gas at $3 plus the world will end before this league does or maybe before Rod makes his pick even if his isnt first anymore he is that slow

OK New rule on trades of the two teams involved 1 must send the Commish a bottle of crown royal the other a case of Heinikin beer and nobody can tell my doctor or is this to much of a power mad comish choice??

Hey Mr Chopper, when its my turn to pick, I'll do so within minutes. Just like when I do fantasy football drafts, I usually pick faster than anyone else! If you think I'm slow, don't you remember the way Nate plays card!! Oh, by the way, I still want to trade with you. If you DO trade with me, I'll sell you a great X-mas gift for 50% off! OK, i would do that anyway. I don't want to be accused of bribing the commish!

About all I can suggest is that everybody leave a proxy or number that someone can call you at when it is your time to draft. I will be home at 3:45 cst friday for all weekend and can be reached for message proxy or leave number tocall you back when time at 507-283-4838.
Hope that makes sense for this early this morning.

I haven't heard from Whamo for a few days, so he could be anywhere. He may not even know this league has filled yet??

I messaged him about noon yesterday and several times since, but no answer yet.

I messaged his friend Colonel Rick Nikols and asked him to call Whamo on the phone and let me know what the scoop is with him.

Whamo does have a heart condition, so conceivably he could be in the hospital or something. I just don't know.

Me (or anybody) drafting for him just won't work. After our team draft, each person directly has to sign up for the league and spend the credit. If we proceed without Whamo we could have teams, but only 11 players and thus no league.

I see no alternative but to wait for him, or find a permanent replacement.

nathan

ok, we're set to go again. all we need is Whamo.

i did message his old high school friend who was in a league with us once too, and i gave him my cell phone number to call back with a whamo report.

when i receive such a report, i'll pass it on.

respectfully submitted by the commish's executive assistant,
nathan

Should we put some kind of time limit on waiting for Whamo? At some point we might have to open his spot for another manager.

Rod

the comish and his HIGH paid ass. have decided to give whamo until6:00 cst tonight to get his pick in then if any of you has another friend he would like to get in go get em or we will try the advertise thing again.
yes feel free to leave insults about the comish on here I'm sure he will have no way to get back at you.

chops

What is our rule on trades? Trading of entire teams, draft picks (which looks like it is ok based on the trade already), and individual players? :?:

what's it take to get to the second page? this scrolling is giving me wrist cramp.

kevin, i think you can only trade draft spots (1 thru 12). i believe the only players that can ever be on your roster have to be from one of your 4 drafted teams OR from one of the 3 undrafted teams.

whamo, 4 hours and counting. how do you send out a strato APB?

nathan

It was stated in the rules previously that there is no trading of players.
