Repost of the Rules:

[b:31faa16298]'12 Angry Men' Theme League[/b:31faa16298]

Preface: 'The 12 Angry Men' Theme League, another wild Jeep theme is so named after the 1957 movie starring Henry Fonda and a host of other acclaimed actors. The league, therefore is designed to make '12 Angry Managers' as opposed to jurors.

* This league will consist of 4 Rounds of Live Drafting on the boards. It shouldn't take too long, but if you sign-up you'll need to be available for the live draft. Vets preferred.

[b:31faa16298]Rules: [/b:31faa16298]

ROUND I:
Park picked for you

ROUND II:
Top 12 Hitter picked for you

ROUND III:
Top 12 Pitcher picked for you

ROUND IV:
Division picked for you

How Rounds Work:

RD I:
After getting a draft order from a Pick 3 Lotto the Manager who comes after you in the draft will pick your park for you.

For example:
#2 Manager picks #1 Manager's park, #3 picks #2 and so forth down to where #1 picks #12 Manager's park. Note: This round starts with #2 not #1.

RD II:
Same premise as above (starts with #2 again) where a Manager picks a Top 12 hitter (by salary) for the other Manager. This is a different draft order than Rd. I and the order determined by Pick 4 Lotto.

RD III:
A Top 12 pitcher is now picked for each Manager in serpentine order from Rd. II. For example: #1 goes first and picks pitcher for #12, then #12 picks for #11 and so forth up to #2 picking #1 Manager's pitcher.

RD IV:
Division is now picked for each Manager. The order for this round will be re-calculated by least dollar amount of the 2 players picked in Rd's II & III. For example, the total salaries of the 2 players owned by each Manager is added up and least amount will be #1 and highest amount #12. Order of picking is #1 picks #2 and so forth to #12 picks #1. (Note: this is a slight deviation from the above draft order(s).)

[b:31faa16298]Other Rules to make for an 'Angry Manager': [/b:31faa16298]

1. Every Manager must start a '4' range (or worse) IF and a '4' range (or worse) OF at all times during the season. Only exception is when those starters are injured, the sub doesn't have to be a '4'. Note: Catcher [u:31faa16298]doesn't [/u:31faa16298]count as an IF.

2. Every Manager must start at one position in the batting order (DH incl.)a player of under $1mil in salary. A platoon is ok, as long as an under $1mil guy is in each line-up. If there's an injury to the (under 1mil) player the (other) platoon player would then start. If there's no platoon the under $1mil rule is waived during the injury period.

3. Any violation of the above rules, for instance a non-4 guy starting when the regular 4 guy isn't hurt, or an over 1mil player starting when the under 1 mil guy isn't hurt, whether accidental or not will result in a penalty of sitting your highest salaried hitter for the next series against the opponent the violation happened to. If you're thru with that opponent for the season, then the penalty would take place in the next series.

* When signing up list your state for the Pick 3 and Pick 4 that we'll use. Remember, you must be available for this 4-round live draft. Lotto is LOW to HIGH.

[b:31faa16298]Intangibles: [/b:31faa16298]--- The players picked for you in the draft can NOT be dropped during the season.

--- Draft Time Limit is 3 hours 9am to Midnight EDT.

--- As Commish I reserve the right to make a ruling on something that comes up not specified in the rules. I of course would rule as fair as possible. I only state this because this is the first go around with this theme.

This is where we'll do all our discussions, chat, etc. Rules are reposted above.

See draft thread for draft picks and use the Draft Thread for drafting only. Thanks. 8-)

Doc Tax is up. 8-)

[Jeepdriver]

I don't see any reason why Round II can't start as well as Round I. So Alphonso can start in addition to Doc Tax.

Good Luck everybody!

Jeep-

What about the team names? Are we using the cast from the movie?
I think I will set my team up as we go along.

No biggie really, I will pick a stud for Key now anyways.

I like it!

[keyzick]

Thanks for the player posting...but the pitchers are supposed to be SPs, correct? ie, no Putz, Saito, or Betancourt. Would need the next 3 highest SPs.

Thanks

[alphonso]

Thanks Key.....

I guess I shoulda buttered you up a little and maybe you would have given me Chipper.... :wink:

I didn't want Pena or Helton, but I couldn't dodge them both.

Let's see what park he gets stuck in.

Nice theme Jeep, I'm already a little angry... :evil:
