AM-NAT FINAL DRAFT (what will the next wrinkle be?)

[bigdinkent]

Is it safe for me to print the 'final' rules out? Going once, going twice...

Seriously though, Honestiag, great job in putting this all together and keeping the rules in line with the theme! LMBombers, thanks for putting the team spreadsheet together - it's a big help.

team spreadsheet? sounds good..........

i believe you can set up the league to avoid waivers, can't you?

[honestiago1]

I'm thinking about modifying the rules concerning catchers who placed for three teams. If a catcher played for three teams, and two of them were in the same division, and his arm is a +1 or worse, plus his name starts with a C, B, or F, he can be traded straight up, without consideration of his martital status or indifferent pb rating for a) mayonaisse, b) the VLA, or c) a non-pimped out ride.

j/k. RULES ARE DONE! :D

Jablowmi and anyone else, I compiled a list of all 80s players by team which can be used for the AD. Players who have 3 or more cards for one team are assigned that team and players who have 2 cards for one team and 2 cards for another team are given to the first team listed (earliest card). This list is only good for the AD (see the league rules). After that you can just use the team button on the free agent page to see all players who have at least one possible card for each team. If anyone would like me to email you with this list in Excel then PM me your email address and I'll send it out to you.

PM sent - thanks in advance

purchase a team if they haven't already done so until after the draft. Unless I'm mistaken, when you buy a team you have to name them and then once named you can't change the name.

Of course I could be wrong.

Looking forward to this fellas ... my first theme league, should be fun.

Going to try and allocate some time tonight to rereading through all the rules again. This is only my 4th 80's team and 10th team overall. Won 100 games and a title with my 1st team ever in ATG, and it's been a mixed bag of results since then.

Im assuming team draft will start tonight after the lottos? After that, we make our teams using the autodraft and our 2 squads?

[honestiago1]

I think you're right. Don't buy a team until we've determined your two franchises, your ball park, mascot, and division. I will ask someone in the EAST to actually create the league using their first team, then everyone will join in, as instructed in LM's post (East, then Central, then West).

Welcome, fellow ATG refugee. I played ATG once, but I am hooked on the 80s. The uncertainty of the mystery card does wonders for your ulcers. :shock:

I've been rooting around at lotteryusa.com. Some results not in yet (I assume we do not use the "midday 3" picks). This is completely unofficial, of course, but it looks to me like, right now, I am dead last (didn't I ask for 12, 13? Wouldn't THAT be a hoot).

[honestiago1]

I was looking at pick 3 for the 8th. TX hasn't come in. Lots of others have, though.
