[i:62f92c58fb][b:62f92c58fb]REPOST OF RULES[/b:62f92c58fb][/i:62f92c58fb][b:62f92c58fb]

GIVE & TAKE THEME LEAGUE[/b:62f92c58fb]

[b:62f92c58fb]Give & Take Theme League General Rules: [/b:62f92c58fb]

1. 12 Round Serpentine Draft done on the boards.
2. 1 Additional Round called the Give & Take or the Screw Your Neighbor (SYN) Round. (discussed in detail below)
3. Advanced League/DH/Weighted Waivers/$80M/Progressive Drops/12 teams/'10 Season
4. Randomization will determine draft order.
5. Draft starts after filling league or when set time for former players is up
6. 3 hour T.L. for each pick beginning in Round II (9am-midnight EDT) On weekends clock will expand to 6 hours, but does not stop.
7. Divisions are 1/4/7/10 in East and so on.
8. Remaining 13 players are Autodrafted. Autodrafted players are at the bottom of your draft cards.

[b:62f92c58fb]Theme/Draft Rules:[/b:62f92c58fb]

1) Each Owner picks 1 Hitter AND 1 Pitcher in the first two rounds. Obviously if you take a hitter in Round 1, you would take a Pitcher in Round 2.

2) Each Owner owns the rights to the team from which his first pick is made for the first TWO rounds of the draft. For example: Santana is picked first. No succeeding Owner may take a Met player until after the first TWO rounds are completed. At the onset of Round 3 all players are fair game.

3) Your Stadium must be from the home park of one of your first two picks. If (this is important) you do not pick your stadium with your first pick, you MUST use the stadium from the team of your second pick. For example: Owner 1 with the Santana pick doesn't declare Citi Field as his park. He cannot pick Citi in Round 2. The only exception would be if he chose another Met player in Round 2. Then his park would obviously be Citi Field.

[color=blue:62f92c58fb]Important:[/color:62f92c58fb] Owners do not own rights to teams of which players are picked in Round II. For example: No one picked a Rays player in Round I and Longoria was picked during Round II. Another owner could pick a Rays player during this round. Please ask if this rule is confusing you.

4) As previously stated, ALL players are eligible to be drafted AFTER Round II.

5) There will be ONE additional Round after the 12 Round Live Draft called the Give & Take or the Screw Your Neighbor Round (both are acceptable ) "SYN" for short.

6) Randomization will be done again on a day TBD just before the completion of Round XII. This SYN Round is a completely new order from the original draft.

7) No trading draft spots after the draft has begun.

[color=blue:62f92c58fb]8) Important:[/color:62f92c58fb] First Two players picked and the SYN Round pick [i:62f92c58fb]cannot[/i:62f92c58fb] be dropped at anytime, nor can they be traded. All other players may be dropped, but all draft picks must be put on your draft card.

[b:62f92c58fb]Screw Your Neighbor Round Rules: [/b:62f92c58fb]

* Each owner gets to pick ANY player drafted by another Owner that was picked [b:62f92c58fb]after[/b:62f92c58fb] Round II. Once an owner loses a player, he cannot lose any more players. Therefore each owner loses a player, AND gains a player.

* The player(s) picked in the Screw Your Neighbor round CAN NOT be re-stolen during this round

Please hold all discussion here and use the draft site for draft picks only. Thank You.

In Round I post your player pick followed by stadium pick if you're picking your park in Round I. Keep in mind the park rules so that you don't get to Round II and miss the park you had intended on using.

ok...

I'm an idiot...I forgot about the stadium rule...and if the Commish and the league allow I would like retroactively make Yankee Stadium my park

I'll second that. I am also an idiot. I am good if the Commish rules thumbs down and I'll take Arizona's ballpark if a mulligan is granted.

Gee you guys. I posted above before we even started:

[i:96fd45732c]In Round I post your player pick followed by stadium pick if you're picking your park in Round I. Keep in mind the park rules so that you don't get to Round II and miss the park you had intended on using.[/i:96fd45732c]

I'll let you do it this time since few picks have been made and no one could pick players from those parks, but evryone please be careful and follow the rules.
