GOLD RUSH VII 200 million dollar live draft, no dh / procedures
League will use the ATG III Historical Version of SOM Game. 200mm CAP, No D/H, Frenzy
We will be using MajorDeegan's draft site (via som.draft or diamonddope.com) beginning as soon as draft order is settled, I will be using the midday pick 3 lottery from May 30th, as soon as we can post the results, the slow draft may begin. At this point for the first two rounds we will not have a clock. I am encouraging you guys to use the draft site. You can manually make picks or leave proxies. The engine could go fast, every five minutes it will make proxy picks, if a guy who is up to draft and does not have a proxy pick setup, then he can manually pick. If I leave the clock off, it is to allow you guys to carefully think through two very important picks. There after a three hour clock will be put into effect. Warning. If everyone does in fact use proxy picks, this engine could crank out a bunch of rounds per day, like 6-8 rounds in a day. We do have to keep up, check online three times per day so you can make adjustments.
Stadiums will be picked anytime after the fOURTH ROUND has started and this pick needs to be made on the individual chat forum. I will set up a draft order, identical to the fourth round. I would like everyone to check this thread once the fourth round has started and make your stadium pick there. The draft engine cannot make a player pick and a stadium pick simultaneously. ALL TEAMS will enter the league Friday evening the June 8th. A waiver will follow. This will give everyone a chance to trade, barter, steal, cajole, pry players from one team to another. Opening day will be Monday June 11.
There will be a THREE HOUR clock during the slo draft, no clock from midnight til 6am. Coaches MAY leave proxy picks with me to keep things moving. My cellphone number is 630-202-9593
Your Availability will be required on Friday June 8th to enter the league.
League Opening Day will be Monday June 11.
I would like to start Wednesday May 30, with NO CLOCK after checking lottery results. Clock will start at beginning of third round, three hour clock
