HAL's JOKES ON YOU! LEAGUE CHAT and RULES

[Simon31]

think we should give this a try! Just to be clear then, every manager would hit the "AUTODRAFT " button just ONCE! You can rank your players in any order you choose and use any ballpark. After waivers runs, you can drop or add any players at any time without restrictions. Let's make it $100 mil, advanced, 5/10/20 on the drops. I think it should be DH just to add another pickle in the mix.

For the peace of mind of all the managers who want to do this, it will be password protected. In order to avoid getting any questionable managers that nobody knows, I'll approve entry if I know you, or somebody else in the league can vouch for you. That seems to me to be the best, safest, way to do it. This may take a day or two to set up so if you don't get a password right away, it doesn't mean you aren't welcome or that your not a trustworthy manager.

I've never done that before so here's what to expect. You want to hit the "QUICKDRAFT" tab. Then it will give you 3 options:
1) DH or NO DH.............choose DH
2) What % do you want to spend on hitting vs pitching? (I'll leave that up to each manager to decide that!)
3) How evenly should money be spent across your starting lineup? (Again, I'll leave that up to each manger to decide)

Then hit "QUICKDRAFT" again!

Then you get to RANK your players.

Next, you DO get to choose your ballpark.

Then it's on to Join the League!

[Simon31]

Can anybody vouch for junkfood johnny or mrharryc? They've already expressed interest. Send me a PM please!

[Simon31]

I have never used any of these pitchers with the exception of 1 minor reliever. HAL didn't want me to have a catcher or a shortstop either! This is really wild! I should have thought of this sooner! :lol:

[modmark46]

Wow, that was kind of fun. I got a pretty decent top 10 list, but after that, 15 guys that I NEVER use. Hardest part was picking a park, as I have NO idea what kind of team I will end up with. :shock:

[modmark46]

OK, I'm in. East if full. :)

[YountFan]

Junkfood johnny and mrharryc have been vouched for and sent the password. Down to 2 spots!

[andycummings65]

just put team in Central. ughhhhhh

[Frank Bailey]

We should have awards for the owners who keep the most and fewest players from their draft list. 8-)

[Simon31]

Just waiting for a response from errormagnate since he was one of the first to say he'd want in. That should fill the league. Miduar would be next in line to round us out. Either way, looks like the draft will run sometime today! 8-)
