We'll use tonight lottery.
I'll set up the league tomorrow morning.
No clock until the end of the 1st round, so we are sure everyone knows we're live and get on the site.

The idea is that you have 1 player from each of the 25 Franchises. Player would be from his card not from the SOM classification (ie Koufax is LA not BKL post)

$140 mil cap with a DH - 12 teams
Min/Max number of players on a roster is 25
Trades allowed and so are drop adds during the season - but roster must be in compliance (only 1 player from each franchise) by game time.

We'll do a 26 round draft, unique stadiums, with a 3 hour clock from 9AM to midnight eastern time 7 days a week and we'll use the draft site within Diamond Dope.

So if your interested please sign up with your pick 3 lottery number. We'll go high to low the night it fills if its before 7PM eastern.

Woo hoo, Texas forever, baby! :D

Hmm, any guesses who my first pick will be? 8-)

By "unique" stadiums, does that mean everyone picks a different stadium? If so, can you do so in any round?

Is your first pick Mario Mendoza? :)

Yep, unique means a stadium can only be chosen once. As for what round we pick a stadium in, that's the RJOH's call.
