[b:8667534b3a]'12 Angry Men' Theme League [/b:8667534b3a]

[u:8667534b3a]Preface:[/u:8667534b3a] '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:8667534b3a]Rules: [/b:8667534b3a]

ROUND I:
Park picked for you

ROUND II:
Top 12 Hitter picked for you

ROUND III:
Top 12 (SP)Pitcher picked for you

ROUND IV:
Division picked for you

[b:8667534b3a]How Rounds Work: [/b:8667534b3a]

[color=darkblue:8667534b3a]RD I: [/color:8667534b3a]
After getting a draft order from a [b:8667534b3a]Pick 3 [/b:8667534b3a]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.

[color=darkblue:8667534b3a]RD II: [/color:8667534b3a]
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 [b:8667534b3a]Pick 4 [/b:8667534b3a]Lotto.

Sidenote: Round I and II can and will be done simultaneously.

[color=darkblue:8667534b3a]RD III: [/color:8667534b3a]
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.

[color=darkblue:8667534b3a]RD IV: [/color:8667534b3a]
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:8667534b3a]Other Rules to make for an 'Angry Manager': [/b:8667534b3a]

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:8667534b3a]doesn't[/u:8667534b3a] 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. So please make sure your state has both a Pick 3 and Pick 4. Remember, you [i:8667534b3a]must be available [/i:8667534b3a]for this 4-round live draft. Lotto is LOW to HIGH.

[b:8667534b3a]Cast & Juror numbers from movie:[/b:8667534b3a]
1. Martin Balsam
2. John Fiedler
3. Lee J. Cobb
4. E.G. Marshall
5. Jack Klugman
6. Ed Binns
7. Jack Warden
8. Henry Fonda
9. Joseph Sweeney
10. Ed Begley
11. George Voskovec
12. Robert Webber

So, when draft order is determined (using Rd I order) each Manager will be assigned the above actor based on juror number. I want everyone's team name to correspond in some way with his assigned Actor. Last year for example, my team name was the Jack Klugman's.


[b:8667534b3a]Intangibles: [/b:8667534b3a]

(A) The players picked for you in the draft can NOT be dropped during the season.

(B) No trading of players or parks picked in live draft, nor can you trade draft spots.

(C) Draft Time Limit is 3 hours 9am to Midnight EDT. If this goes into the weekend we will determine a clock at that time. End draft positions have 4 hours, but there's only one end spot in this draft anyway.

OK, Sign-up below remembering vets are preferred. If I don't know you, you can stiill play if you have a Vet referral. Sorry, but this is a complicated draft and seasoned players are requested.

I think with a composite record of 109-143 in 3 of your other theme leagues that that makes me a prime candidate for this league since I am already a very angry man Jeep :evil: :evil: :wink:

Hawk, I'm ROTF cause I was coming on here to ask if anyone was angry yet, and I see I am correct! Again, LOL :lol:

[KEVINEHLE]

Hey Jeep, I'm angry about last season's 72-90 debacle in this league....but I'm going to pass on this league because I've finally hit my exhaustion level. I've joined every league that has come my way, and now I'm over-taxed, over-burdened with multiple leagues. :shock:

Unlike Hawk, I think I'm a little over .500 in Jeep's leagues. That is quite an accomplishment...as my history of Jeep leagues has been bleak! :oops:

You guys have fun.
