MARCH FINAL TOTM 20 Feb 2007 15:32

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTM ( MARCH) BATTLE OF THE ERA's

Based on Lottery Draw ( High to Low)

THE EXCEPTION PREVIOUSILY STATED THAT I GET ERA 2 IS NULL & VOID & I WILL DRAFT AS ALL OTHERs DO,

4 Managers in each ERA draft against each other. No players allowed from outside their era. My proposal would be to have 3 separate DRAFTS.

Drafting by Team will be used and we will use these rules:

1.Managers within each ERA pick Teams on a Serpentine basis.
2. The draft will be serpentine (1-12, 12-1) and will be 5 rounds for ERA 1
and 6 rounds for ERAs 2 & 3 with the last round used to select players from undrafted teams...

3. You must select a team for each round (protected teams)
4. This will be 200M, No DH advanced, 5/10/20 and waivers.
5. Must maintain a roster of 25 players from your ERA for entire season
6. Bench Rules will be as described in the Player draft section below.
7. TRADES ALLOWED from within your ERA only.
8 .Stadium must be selected from your protected teams

9. Players not on a Roster but on a Protected Team will remain the exclusive rights of the manager owning those Protected Teams. FA's will be eligible to be picked up by any team with the ERA of that team.

Other Highlights for Player Draft

$200M Cap
Limit of 25 players on roster
No DH
Trades within ERA and FA's can be picked up within era.
Ballparks within era from 1 of chosen Teams

1 Pitcher over $5M allowed in Bullpen
2 Hitters on Bench over $5M on Bench

TEAMS will be drafted based on Lottery.

ERA 1 is done drafting.

[CATom]

maybe one of us should set up the league?

200mil / NO DH / 5-10-20 / waivers ?????

what do you think ?????

Tom.

[STEPHENANDERSON 2]

Are we the East. Do not think it matters.... but since we are done, I think one of us should.

[CATom]

i believe ERA 1 is the EAST, ERA 2 is the CENTRAL and ERA 3 is the WEST.

Tom.

let us know when you have it set up :lol:

[msheaf1]

I created the league "March TOTM" password = march

[msheaf1]

http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/baseball/stratomatic/atg3/about/player_sets.html has the teams and stadiums.

[STEPHENANDERSON 2]

Rule #9.

Do I read that to say that all free agents of ERA 1 are available to me and Msheaf and Park and Tom....... any of them. Or, just my 6 teams. I seem to waiver back and forth on reading this??

[rschwartz51]

The intention of this rule was applicable when in ERA 1 there was the expected draft of players from the remaining teams.

With the drafting of 1/2 teams my thought would be that there wouldn't be any FA's.
