LA-Z-BOY’S LEAGUE XXIV FORMAT
We will use these revised LA-Z-BOY Rules with the slow draft lasting from ten to an eleven day period in total. (Slow Draft may be shorten to accommodate Quick Draft) The slow drafting time with No Clock is to accomodate the varied work schedules we have so that the possiblity of having to use a clock will be very remote. I'll shorten the slow draft before using a Clock.
League will use the ATG IV Historical Version of SOM Game, Advanced, 100MM CAP, No D/H, Frenzy, 5/10/20 drop rule
[color=blue:0f1adec546]We will use the Lottery Draw of Tuesday 07/29/08
We can slow draft rounds beginning 07/30/08 or as soon as draft order is settled before our agreed upon QUICK DRAFT Friday of 08/01/08
We will use Wednesday 07/30/08 Lottery draw to determine Division and Stadium Selection order.
Your Availability will be required on Friday evening, 08/01/08 for the Quick Draft and Frenzy. (About a 5 Hour Committment)
League Opening Day will be Monday 08/04/08
League Draft will consist of a slow draft starting on Wednesday 07/30/08 (would like minimum four, max eight rounds) and last until 7:30 PM Eastern Friday 08/01/08 (Night of Quick Draft)
Stadiums will be UNIQUE and Round 9"A" position will be the Stadium selection round (First Round of the Quick Draft or last round of slow draft), with stadium draft order and division assignment determined by a second lottery draw pick with the same state picks, Wednesday 07/30/08. Our regular Quick Draft of six rounds will follow with draft resuming with Round Nine Player Draft, and auto draft the remaining 11 or 13 players to fill the roster.
ALL TEAMS will enter the league Friday immediately after Quick Draft 08/01/08.[/color:0f1adec546]
There will be no clock (see below) until 7:30 p.m. Eastern Friday, 08/01/08 , No Quick Draft round will be started after 10:30 PM. Eastern unless by agreement of all managers. A three hour clock may be instituted during the second half of the slow draft if we are really lagging behind to complete a serpentine (Two Round Block)(looking for Four Round Minimum). We haven’t had to use a clock thus far and as long as we look likely to draft four rounds during the slow draft we will not have a clock because of everyone's varying work schedules.
Clock time for the Quick-Pick Draft will be (5) Five Minutes per Selection, If Selection is 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
When checking–in please make State Lottery Pick if not already made.
State Lottery Picks will be used to determine Draft Position. Highest (999) to Lowest,(000) ZERO being Low. In case of tie the tied state's mid-day or previous day lottery number will be used and so on until the tie is broken, same day picks will always be used.
Division Assignments by Draft Positions (Round Nine "A" -- Stadium and Division Draft Position)
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 (See new rule below) and decisions having to be made on allowing the trade. If there is a two for one trade, there will be a pool of players for the manager trading two to use so everyone will protect the same amount of players drafted with the same amount of cash value.
***********************************************************
[color=blue:0f1adec546]Trading Rule:
Let make an effort to keep trades at a one for one or within 33% for both sides NO Trades at more than a plus one ratio 3 for 2, 2 for1, 5 for 4, etc.
Any other unbalanced trade the values are to be within 10% of each other (This is to discourage 4 for 2, 5 for3, etc) .
Use this Grid to determine the value of your spot and try and keep values equal. Players will be assigned to fill open roster spots resulting from unbalanced trades.

Whatever round you draft a player that will be his value as far as the grid is concerned[/color:0f1adec546]
************************************************************
[color=red:0f1adec546]All drafted players are to be put on the BOTTOM OF YOUR DRAFT LIST.[/color:0f1adec546]
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 we have another fun filled season of LA-Z-BOY Baseball.
Pick Three Lottery States Tie reverts back to the state lottery mid-day draw or if no Mid-day draw then previous nights lottery draw.
