This will be the 13th version as we have had two tens and no twelve :)

LA-Z-BOY’S LEAGUE XIII FORMAT

I have gone back to the original LA-Z-BOYS Rules and streamlined the drafting back to an eight day period in total. (This time six day period)

League will use the ATG II Historical Version of SOM Game. 100MM CAP, No D/H, Frenzy

We will slow draft rounds beginning as soon as draft order is settled before our agreed upon QUICK DRAFT Friday of June 2nd/ Backup June 9th.

League Draft will consist of a slow draft starting Friday 5/27/06 ??? (would like minimum six, max eight rounds) until June 2nd/or 9th (Night of Quick Draft). This may be difficult this time around as we have less days to slow draft, four maybe more realistic. :shock: Stadiums will be picked anytime during the first four rounds in conjunction with a player pick, Quick Draft of six rounds and auto draft the remaining players to fill the roster. ALL TEAMS will enter the league Friday immediately after Quick Draft June 2th / or 9th. Opening Day will be June 5th or the 12th.

QUICK Draft may be extended but only if their is sufficent time to make sure frenzy is Friday Night.

There will be no clock (see below) until 7:30 p.m. Eastern Friday, 6/2/06 or 6/9/06, No round will be started after 10:30 PM. Eastern unless by agreement of all managers. A three hour clock may be instituted for the second part of the slow draft if we are really lagging behind in completed rounds (looking for Six Round Minimum).

Clock time for the Quick-Pick Draft will be (5) Five Minutes per Selection, If Selection not made we will move on to next selection. Makeup Pick can be made at anytime, but if same player is selected, that player will go to the manager on the clock; no other decision will be made. Please make pick in the allotted time

Again All Teams will join the league on Friday 6/27 or 6/9/06 before Midnight Eastern, No exceptions as the Objective of this league will be a Friday Live Draft and Friday Night Frenzy.

Your Availability will be required on Friday evening, 6/2 or 6/9/06 for the Quick Draft and Frenzy.

League Opening Day will be Monday 6/5 or 6/12/06

I would like to start slow drafting Sunday 5/27/06 ???

When checking –in please make State Lottery Pick

Stadiums will be UNIQUE and picked during the first four rounds in conjunction with a player pick, No Duplicate Stadiums

State Lottery Picks will be used to determine Draft Position. Highest (999) to Lowest,(000) ZERO being Low

Divisions Assignments by Draft Positions

EAST: 12 11 10 9

CENTRAL: 8 7 6 5

WEST: 4 3 2 1

Trades of players and picks are allowed; Make sure all trades are posted clearly for all managers to read. Please keep value exchanges equitable and reasonable so as to prevent squabbles and decisions having to be made on allowing the trade.

I know every possible situations is not covered in the rules but any decisions that have to be made will be made as fairly as possible

Lastly everyone is to have fun and may this be one of the best seasons in the ATG Game

I double checked all the numbers.

Draft thread is setup, Minnie is up for a pick and we're off and running. 8)

Pick 11, the strat gods could have done a little better.... :roll: :evil:

Looks like I'm right in the middle again, nothing unusual there. Could be worse, could be better, anyone want to trade their 1-3 pick??

I guess I'll be picking through the leftovers at #12. Save some for me.

Dugger, Ernie is sitting there for ya. Had to take the Commerce Comet. Charlie aren't you in the hunt for a playoff berth???? Marilyn Monroe screwed up my season, she had Joe so messed up, he has missed almost 40 games with various ailments.

Thanks and that's who I picked
