[b:db74bf4206]League rules: [/b:db74bf4206]

1. Players may only be drafted using the primary position on the drafted card (in the live draft). For example, Ruth 1921 has a primary position of LF, so the 1921 card can only be drafted for the LF position, not for RF, 1B or CF. Once the league begins, a player may be played at any eligible position on the card being used, and managers may swap cards for players with multiple cards (see **below).
2. In the case of players with multiple cards, managers must indicate the year of the card drafted.
3. During the live draft, managers may trade draft positions during a round, but no players may be traded until after waivers.
4. A ballpark draft round will be inserted following round 6, independent of the position draft, in reverse order of the original draft order (manager who drafted first in the 1st round will draft last in the ballpark draft).
5. Manager drafting order established by randomizer.
6. Order of draft for player positions (1-12) by separate randomizer.
7. Time limit between picks - 3 hours.
8. Draft clock is off from midnight–9 a.m. (eastern) Monday–Friday, and all day Saturday and Sunday.
9. Divisional alignment by randomizer once live draft is complete.

Additional league rules:
1. Any live-drafted player must remain on a team roster for the entire season.
2. Following waivers, cards for the same player may be exchanged.
3. Players may play at any eligible position for the card used, [b:db74bf4206]except those players picked in the DH round, who must play the DH position for the entire season.[/b:db74bf4206]

If at any time someone thinks of a better way to track draft progress each round as the sequence changes please let me know.

Thanks to everybody for giving this a try.

PLEASE HOLD.....

See chat thread for discussion of DH situation.

Please see the chat thread for an explanation of the reasons for the following rule changes:

1. In the 3rd round for the ‘Any P’ position, the position will now be Any SP-only or SP/RP. RP-only pitchers are excluded for the 'fairness' reasons stated above, and will be selected in round 12.

2. Players selected in the DH round must be used at the DH position for the duration of the season.

Regarding the DH round draft:

Draft rounds 1-5 will proceed with the entire round being completed before the next round begins.

The first pick (BobBoone) in the DH round will be made with all remaining players available. The DH round will then pause. Then, each manager with a #1 pick in rounds 7-11, positions LF, 1B, RF, SS and 3B, will make their pick for that round, out order. Following the 1st picks in each of the later rounds, the DH round will resume with all hitters available for the remainder of the round. The remainder of the draft will be processed normally.
