OK Lotto it up tonight. we should go over the rules.
*RULES*
Salary: $200M cap
Logisitics: standard waivers/advanced
Draft: 12-round draft (snake each round)
Draft order: Random number generator or Pick 3 lotto, whichever can be worked out first as we get going.
Clock: 24 hours per pick
Stadiums: Auto-draft stadiums (pick whichever stadium you want when the '07 game comes out)
Division Assignments: East (picks 1,4,7,10); Central (2,5,8,11); West (3,6,9,12)
Trading: Even trades will be allowed during the draft. One player may be traded for one player. One draft pick may substitute for one player as well (example: Jeter and Round 9 pick for Cano and Alou). No trades will be allowed following the conclusion of the draft. Additionally, if the ratings disk comes out before we conclude our draft, all trading will cease immediately.
Roster: Final roster must fit TSN requirements
Penalties for mistakes: (1)You will be required to sub a .50M player during the auto draft for any player you select live that is not given a strat card. You will not be required to retain that player following the auto draft. (2) If you auto draft another owner's player by mistake, you will be required to trade that player to the owner for a player of his choice before waivers run. If you do not trade a "stolen" player to his rightful owner before waivers, you will still be required to trade that player to the proper owner following waivers. Additionally, you will be required to dump another player of at least $3M value and pick up a $.50M player that must be carried for the duration of the season. (3) If you forget to include a live-drafted player on your draft list during the auto draft, you must announce your mistake immediately to the rest of the league. Then, you will be required to use your first waiver claim on that player, even if you did not want him any more. If you do not claim said player during waivers, he becomes open game to other owners after waivers run. Additionally, you will be required to dump a player of at least $3M value and pick up a $.50M player that must be carried for the duration of the season.
Auto-Draft Check-In: When the 2007 Strat game is released on TSN, everyone will have one week to check in with the rest of the league. If you do not make yourself known during that time, a replacement owner will be given the opportunity to take ownership of your players and enter the league.
Recommendation: As you're prepping for the draft, find a strat friend that you feel comfortable giving proxies to. Then, if you're away from a computer for a period of time, that person can draft for you. Otherwise, you'll fall behind and/or make the draft move very slowly.
When you enter, include the state you want to use for the Pick 3 draft lottery.
