LA-Z-BOY’S LEAGUE XVI FORMAT

We will use the original LA-Z-BOY Rules with streamlined drafting back to an eight- nine day period in total. (May be shorten to accommodate Quick Draft)

League will use the ATG III Historical Version of SOM Game, Advanced, 100MM CAP, No D/H, Frenzy, 5/10/20 drop rule

We will use the Lottery Draw of Wednesday 12/27/06

We can slow draft rounds beginning 12/28/06 or as soon as draft order is settled before our agreed upon QUICK DRAFT Friday of 1/5/07

Your Availability will be required on Friday evening, 1/5/07 for the Quick Draft and Frenzy.

League Opening Day will be Monday 1/8/07

League Draft will consist of a slow draft starting on Thursday 12/28/06 (would like minimum six, max eight rounds) and last until 7:30 PM Eastern Friday 1/5/07 (Night of Quick Draft).
Stadiums will be UNIQUE and picked anytime during the first four rounds in conjunction with a player pick, Quick Draft of six rounds, and auto draft the remaining 11 or 13 players to fill the roster.
ALL TEAMS will enter the league Friday immediately after Quick Draft 1/5/07. Opening Day will be 1/8/07.

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

There will be no clock (see below) until 7:30 p.m. Eastern Friday, 1/5/07, No Quick Draft 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 half of the slow draft if we are really lagging behind in completed rounds (looking for Six Round Minimum). We haven’t had to use a clock thus far.

Clock time for the Quick-Pick Draft will be (5) Five Minutes per Selection, If Selection is 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

When checking–in please make State Lottery Pick if not already made.

State Lottery Picks will be used to determine Draft Position. Highest (999) to Lowest,(000) ZERO being Low. In case of tie the tied state's mid-day or previous day lottery number will be used and so on until the tie is broken, same day picks will always be used.

Division Assignments by Draft Positions (Round One Draft Position)

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. If there is a two for one trade, there will be a pool of players for the manager trading two to use so everyone will protect the same amount of players drafted.

All drafted players are to be put on the BOTTOM OF YOUR DRAFT LIST.

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 we have another fun filled season of LA-Z-BOY Baseball.

Pick Three Lottery States Tie reverts back to the state lottery mid-day draw or if no Mid-day draw then previous nights lottery draw.

Tentative Plans for Next LA-Z-BOY Season

I have four options for drafting our next season which end Friday 12/22

1. Slow Draft 12/14, Quick Draft 12/22
Best option to avoid family holiday gatherings, although this is a busy period as well for business gatherings.

2. Slow Draft 12/21, Quick Draft 12/29
Probably not the best option, with all the family gatherings, and travel during this time.

3. Slow Draft 12/28, Quick Draft 1/5/2007
Second Best because we are past Christmas and have New Years fall during this time frame, lots of weary party animals to take advantage of during the draft. lol………lol……….

4. Slow Draft 1/4 Quick Draft 1/12/2007
A good alternative but it does leave a large gap in time between seasons

My first option is to have everyone return, it’s a great group and we have fun seasons.
Check your calendars guys and let me know what works best. I can make any work for myself right now.
