[b:11698347f3]The Original Team Based Keeper League

[i:11698347f3]2001-2002-2003-2004-2005-2006- 2007 TBK League with a Twist:[/i:11698347f3][/b:11698347f3]

1 - 5 Round Draft, drafting 1/2 Teams (either Pitching or Hitting).

1a - MUST draft either 3 Hitting & 2 Pitching squads, or 2 Hitting & 3 Pitching squads.

2 - You keep the SAME 1/2 Teams for all future Seasons

2a - Your personnel WILL change from year to year as players played on different teams on different seasons

Ex: Cliff Floyd = Red Sox 2002, Met 2003-2004

3 - You retain RIGHTS to ALL players on your 5 combined squads (2.5 teams) for the full season. Player movement is ONLY by TRADING, save for add/drops of players whose rights you own.

4 - Players belong to the team they finished the season with/team name on their TSN Card.

Ex: Cliff Floyd played on 3 teams in 2002, but belongs to Red Sox as that is the team he finished the season with.

5 - Players traded are solely for that season. Owners regain the rights to the player for future years, so long as the player remains on a 1/2 team they control.

6 - Barring majority preference otherwise, the 5th Round will be in reverse order to Rounds 1 & 3.

6a - Also, barring majority preference otherwise, you can select your ballpark from any of the 5 half squads you draft.

Ex: You draft Boston H, Yankee H, Philly P, San Francisco P & Toronto H. You can play in Fenway, Yankee, Veterans, Pac Bell or SkyDome.

7 - There will be no clock during the weekends. Due to the skilled nature of the draft (remember you're drafting a team for 3 seperate seasons) the clock will be 24 hours long. Should you miss a turn, your next turns clock length will be decreased by half (to 12, 6, 3) - unless you select before next turn.

8 - All Seasons will use DH

9 - Pick III Lottery is High to Low

10 - Season I Divisions are based on Draft order (1/4/7/10, 2/5/8/11, 3/6/9/12) while subsequent seasons divisions are based on record from previous season (best 4, middle 4, worst 4).

Hey AT - just checking in. Not quite sure of the roster pick post...I assume it's inheriting the full 5 1/2 squad of a departed manager? I'll wait til you give the go-ahead, in case on of them checks in today.

[ArrylT]

You're clear to go keyzick ... and that is correct you inherit all 5 of the 1/2 squads listed for the group you select. :)

[ArrylT]

Just an FYI that we will NOT start loading until next week ... however owners are free to start trade talks & putting together teams whenever they are ready.

Alternates replacing owners should have made their group selection by the Weekend hopefully.

[visick]

Probables for my squad. (but could be had if the price is right...)

1B- Youk
2B- Phillips
SS- A. Gonz
3b- Lowell
LF- ManRam
CF- Undecided (Hopper/Crisp)
RF- Griffey
DH- Ortiz

Anyone got a CF?

Pitching:
SP's-

Carmona
Sabathia
Betancourt
Perez
Morales
Corpas

Open to trade discussions for a CF.
