Summer of 69 - ROUND 3 - DRAFT IN PROGRESS - GO, GO, GO!

[quote:842f2b4fd4="AllStarInc"]It's 25 players plus one stadium.[/quote:842f2b4fd4]





I am assuming that once the league starts we can use a 24 man roster?

Yup - 24 is legal

Hey fellas-
I am heading up north to wet a line for a few days later on this afternoon, gone through Sunday. I was hoping we'd finish today, but don't think we will without proxies across the board.

I will have access most evenings (slow, tethered to a cell phone) but will try to keep up.

Bill (AllStarInc) - will you please set-up the league as a private league($200M, No DH, frenzy) and join then send the password to the rest of the east and then central and west as they fill? If not maybe sneeze can?

Thanks much and good luck all!
Dan

I thought we MUST draft 25 players and be under the $60 million cap. I've made picks based on that assumption. Are you saying we can draft to any amount and then cut down to 24 players and under the salary cap?

I noticed that Gfdwarf and ricksmith are both going to be over the cap and I was curious why they were drafting players over the $500,000 level. Someone clear this up for me please.

You have to live draft 25 players that get you under the salary cap. After the AD you can drop/add players all you want including dropping down to 24 players.

[AllStarInc]

I'm in the same boat...I accidently went over, but I must have just miscalculated. I'm going to be over by 0.2m.

I don't know how I did it because I thought I had it figured out to be under by about .6.

But I did think you were allowed to go slightly over due to the 24 vs. 25 thing. Most leagues say, as long as your under the cap at game day.

If necessary I can go back and toss somebody to get under....just let me know.

[AllStarInc]

Dan,

You want frenzy...right?

[AllStarInc]

Does anybody have an issue with Gfdwarf (Dan) being over, Ricksmith, or me being over.

I'm not sure what Dan or Rick will be over. Mine is just .2 and I'll be cutting a .5 guy to get under after the draft. I'm sure that's what those guys are doing too.

If anybody has a major issue with it, let us know. I'm sure there's something that can be done.

[LMBombers]

If you are over the cap in the live draft that means that you can't put all of your players on your AD card and are NOT guaranteed to get whoever you don't put on your card. You lose all rights to any player that you can't get on your AD card.

You really should drop a player now and repick a lower priced player before the live draft ends. A drop will need an approval by another person on the draft site before you can repick.

The draft site won't let you go over the cap if the cap number is entered into the draft when it is created. My guess is that whoever created the draft left it at 80M. If they had changed it to 60M then we would not be in this predicament.

[AllStarInc]

Bombers....Dan had said to set the league up as a 200m league. That will allow those who went over in the draft to be able to submit their teams and then make the proper adjustments.

I've tried to change a player on the draft site but it won't let me drop without admin approval.

I'm sure this was all caused by the proxy process and wasn't intentional. I don't think anybody really intentionally decided to go way over the number.

With the ability to drop a player after the initial draft setting, it's a moot point anyway.

If somebody is REALLY concerned about a player who was taken in the 24th or 25th round that put one of these teams over, then I really think it's an overreaction.

I don't want to speak for everybody, but I think it's better to just finish the draft and load the teams.

The teams who are over will have to make their adjustments at that time and any of those 24th and 25th pick players who are really coveted can be acquired after they're dropped by the offending teams.

With Dan being unavailable I'd rather not delay things more than they already have been delayed via the 26 round draft process.

But that's just my opinion and I am not "King and Ruler" of this league. So let me know what you think?
