Position Draft:
1. Basic Rules:
140M, DH, Waivers, 5/10/20 Drop, Unique Stadiums
Divisions will be East 1-4, Central 5-8, West 9-12

2. Pre-Draft Rounds –
a. Randomizer will be run to determine draft slot. See order below. Bold number in each round is the first pick in that round as well as your slot for each round. The order of the randomizer will be placed into the order you signed up. For example...the first number in the randomizer results will be assigned to me (Modmark) since I signed up first. If the first number comes up 5, for example, I would then be assigned the first pick in RD 2, CF, and would then draft in the 5 spot in every round.
b. Each manager, in his designated #1 slot, selects a player at their position designated round. In this round, EACH manager will basically be making his pick for the round that he is first in. This helps guarantee that EVERYONE's number one pick is a high quality player.
c. In Second Pre-Draft Round using inverse order… each manager will select 2 Unique Stadiums. They must use one of them in the league.

3. Live Draft Rounds - each round will proceed with selections made of ANY eligible player (based on card) for that position. You may use a player at any position as long as the Position he was drafted at is also on that card.
a. Examples: If Musial is drafted in the RF Round, his 1946 card would not be eligible for that manager to use at any time prior to the start of the season. If Stargell were drafted in the 1B Round, his 1971 card would not be eligible for that manager at any time prior to the start of the season.
b. If player is traded or dropped prior to the start of the season, all his cards become eligible to the new manager. If a player is dropped AFTER the season starts he can be picked up by any manager and his cards are eligible.

4. Auto Draft – The remaining players will be AD. You MUST include all Live drafted players, with eligible cards, on your AD card.

Randomizer run done by Moriarity (thanks!) yielded this setup:
1. Modmark = 3
2. Warrenbob = 7
3. Ratioman = 6
4. Roosky = 8
5. sschu = 9
6. emart = 2
7. LoopsandRolls = 12
8. Mighty Moose = 4
9. J.C. Hansen = 5
10. River Field View = 11
11. mrharryc = 10
12.Jamesgang77 = 1

Draft sequence will be as follows:
Rd 1: RF: 11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
Rd 2: CF: 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2,3,4
Rd 3: 2B: 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2
Rd 4: SS: 7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6
Rd 5: LF: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
Rd 6: SP: 4,3,2,1,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5
Rd 7: C: 9,10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
Rd 8: RP or RP/SP: 6,5,4,3,2,1,12,11,10,9,8,7
Rd 9: 3B: 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,12,11
Rd 10: Any P:12, 11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
Rd 11: 1B: 2,1,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3
Rd 12: Any H: 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1, 12,11,10,9

[u:31d52c61df]Divisions:[/u:31d52c61df]
EAST = Jamesgang, Emart, Modmark, Mighty Moose
CENTRAL = JCHansen, Ratioman, Warrenbob, Roosky
WEST = Sschu, Mrharryc, Riverfieldview, Loops&rolls

PRE DRAFT ROUND ONE:

1. RF = River Field View -
2. CF = JC Hansen -
3. 2b = Modmark -
4. SS = Warrenbob -
5. LF = Jamesgang -
6. SP = Mighty Moose -
7. C = Sschu -
8. SP/RP = Ratioman -
9. 3b = Mrharryc -
10. Any P = Loops & Rolls -
11. 1b = Emart -
12. Any Hitter = Roosky -

NOTE: You can make your pick before it gets to you, as long as the person you take doesn't conflict with someone ahead of you. So, Mighty Moose is good to take his SP right now, but Loops & Rolls will have to wait until Mighty Moose & Ratioman have made their picks, before he goes. Roosky, obviously, has to wait until all position player picks have been made before he goes.

PRE DRAFT ROUND ONE:

1. RF = River Field View - Babe Ruth
2. CF = JC Hansen -
3. 2b = Modmark -
4. SS = Warrenbob -
5. LF = Jamesgang -
6. SP = Mighty Moose -
7. C = Sschu -
8. SP/RP = Ratioman -
9. 3b = Mrharryc -
10. Any P = Loops & Rolls -
11. 1b = Emart -
12. Any Hitter = Roosky -

Mark, my LF only plays LF, to save time can i just name him now?

Yes, as long as he doesn't conflict with a pick ahead of you, go ahead.

What is the ruling on the players that we know are being added this week?

PRE DRAFT ROUND ONE:

1. RF = River Field View - Babe Ruth
2. CF = JC Hansen -
3. 2b = Modmark -
4. SS = Warrenbob -
5. LF = Jamesgang - Barry Bonds
6. SP = Mighty Moose -
7. C = Sschu -
8. SP/RP = Ratioman -
9. 3b = Mrharryc -
10. Any P = Loops & Rolls -
11. 1b = Emart -
12. Any Hitter = Roosky -

Yeah, I had forgot about those guys, to be honest. We can do our pre-draft rds 1 & 2, and then wait, if you guys want, for those cards to come out. Or, if there is a card you know is coming out, and you want to make that your RD 1 pre draft pick, that would be ok with me. It would be nice to include them; but are we SURE they are coming out this week?

PRE DRAFT ROUND ONE:

1. RF = River Field View - Babe Ruth

Bernie seemed pretty certain they were this week. Your plan sounds good to me modmark.
