Just thought I'd re-post Rob's rules for the tourney so that everyone would know what we're in for!
[color=blue:d079942573]1st Round will be 4 - 12 team leagues (A, B, C, D) - beginning with the A League and using the Ratings system (Overall) Each invitee(Who accepts) will have their overall rating next to their name the day the 48th spot is filled.
The highest rated player will be in league A the 2nd highest in league B the 3rd in league C and the 4th in League D - The 5th in League A etc. until all 4 Leagues are assigned.
It doesn't matter what division, so each league can be filled at your leisure... The Ratings have absolutely nothing to do with any personal preference, but are just intended to distribute experience as evenly as possible without offending anybody, creating at least a semblance of balance across the 4 leagues. (For example, we wouldn't want the top 12 rated in 1 league and the bottom 12 in another in the 1st round.) 1st Round League Placement is not open to dispute.
The 2nd round will take the 6 best records(Using the usual tiebreakers if necessary)from League A and B to form the 1st 12 team League in the 2nd round. The 2nd 12 team league will be comprised of the 6 best records from Leagues C and D.
The 3rd Round(Finals Round) will be comprised of the 6 best records from each league in round 2.
The winner of Round 3 is the 07' LOTO CHAMPION.
The simple Rules:
All 3 Rounds are Simple Autodrafts...But with simple Ballpark and Cap Rule Differences. All 3 Rounds will use the DH, all 3 Rounds will have weighted waivers. [/color:d079942573]
[color=red:d079942573]1st Round: 80M CAP, DH, Weighted Waivers, ANY Ballpark you want to play in. So Multiple BP's are acceptable. 10% Caphit on Add/Drop.[/color:d079942573]
[color=blue:d079942573]2nd Round: 60M CAP, DH, Weighted Waivers, Lottery for Ballparks, Unique Stadiums.(No 2 of the same ballpark allowed.) Progressive Caphit 5%/10%/20% on Add/Drop.
3rd Round: 80M CAP, DH, Weighted Waivers, Unique Stadiums - In order of win pct. (Best to Last - So it pays to play hard and win more games in RD 2...Progressive Caphit (Like in BT 80's) 5%/10%/20%.
1 Last Rule: No Player may use the same Ballpark more than 1 Time. Anyone in the Finals League will have had to use 3 different Ballparks.[/color:d079942573]
