Novie,

I like the theme a lot. One concern I have that I wanted to point out is that in order to make sure that you use a 5 man rotation you must manually set your rotation and cannot use a set rotation. This is because HAL will always go to the top of your list when the SP is rested. For example if you drafted the following 5 SPs:

1) Maddux SP*
2) Alexander SP*
3) Koufax SP*
4) Cicotte SP*
5) Chesbro SP *

with a set rotation HAL will always go back to Maddux on 3 days rest and Chesbro would never be used. Since you can only set a manual rotation for 21 games at a time EVERYONE must set their rotation at least once a week. This is the only potential compliance I see especially if someone goes away and doesn't have internet access for a week or whose team starts tanking and does not pay as much attention.

We have a good group of guys so shouldn't be a real problem but thought I would point it out now so everyone sets their rotation properly.

ive been in a theme league with similar 5-man rotation setup, probably with some of these same suspects, and it worked fine. yes, you must set up your 5-man for EVERY game, but it works as long as everyone's conscientous and does it a week at a time, especially if you're gonna be gone. have to set up some sort of penalty for any lapses so someone doesn't get an unfair advantage, but last time, NO ONE messed up.

I created the draft. 12 rounds, DH, no stadium. Movie and I are admits. Mr. Regulator, you are on the clock.

Damn druid spell checker!

Rofl!!!!!

On the positive side, this episode forced me to learn how to make additions to my spell check dictionary.

Also, for those of you who have never set up a league on DD, it's a piece of cake. This was my first one, and really I just kept going from screen to screen until I was done. First you set up the league parameters (all from drop-downs), then you pick users out of a drop-down list, finally, you assign the draft order. It couldn't be easier.

Thanks, Adrian!
