Here are the general rules: [b:c7067ebe65]I will go with a more [/b:c7067ebe65][b:c7067ebe65]detailed rule set later [/b:c7067ebe65]but for now this could be a real fun, challenging and interesting league. And, I would act as commish, with one other volunteer to help, if needed.
[b:c7067ebe65]IMPORTANT:[/b:c7067ebe65] This league should go for many years, so if you are not positive you want to do this for a long time, do not sign up. And, if you are a rookie, please get someone in the strat world to vouch for you.
It will be a long-term keeper and would look like this.
1. A [b:c7067ebe65]48 player draft[/b:c7067ebe65] with a stadium (49 picks) (stadium to be changed, if desired, every two years) Draft to be held on draft site
2. No supplemental in-season draft.
3. A two-round non-carded player draft to be held in between the two "seasons". See below.
3. We will play two seasons each year:
Season one will be a [b:c7067ebe65]200 Mil league and season two will be a 60 mil[/b:c7067ebe65] [b:c7067ebe65]league[/b:c7067ebe65]. This would make the draft interesting, yes?
4. Each year, after the first year, teams will declare their 40 man rosters. So, this means each team will have to release 10 players into the free agent pool. A player does not have to have aa card to be on teh forty man roster.
5. At the beginning of each year there will be a 8 player non-serpentine draft based on worst to best (regular season) records of the previous years (two-season record)
6. [b:c7067ebe65]Bonus for winning the 200 Mil an 60 Mil leagues[/b:c7067ebe65]: The winner of each league will have an extra pick in the non-carded draft. So, let's say you win the 200 Mil the first year and you pick 9th in the non-carded draft. You then, at that spot, get two picks. In other words, you get three non-carded players instead of two. Same with the 60 mil league, except since that league is after the first non-carded player draft you would get your extra player the following year.
I can fill in the details, as I said earlier, but for now let's mark out 12 available spots and see what happens. If you have a saved spot, please grab it right away. We will save spots for four days (Thursday May1st- 5pm EST) for those that expressed interest first. Then open the Forever League up to others
