European Stand-Off Theme Lg (2nd Annual) FULL

[Jeepdriver]

This should be a fun theme league that will hopefully reignite some fading interest in the '10 set. We'll have a simple 2 round live draft on the boards followed by a frenzy. No waivers here. Frenzy time will probably be 11pm East Coast time on a date TBD. Hopefully we'll fill quick and have the frenzy this week.

[b:925539e50c]European Stand-Off Theme League Rules: [/b:925539e50c]

* A 2 Round Live Draft in serpentine order as follows:

Round 1 will consist of picking a European Country. When picked, the Manager will own the "rights" to all the players that correspond to that Country. When I say correspond I mean whatever "letter" that Country starts with that Manager will hold rights to all players whose last name begins with that letter. For example, Manager 1 picks Belgium, so he owns the rights to all players whose last name begins with "B." Countries starting with the same letter can only be picked once; for example, if Belgium has been picked Belarus can't be picked later.

Round 2 will consist of picking any player from letters not corresponding to someone's Country. You cannot pick a player that starts with the same letter as the 12 Countries picked in Round 1. The serpentine format should give those on the end an advantage they may not have had in Round 1.

[b:925539e50c] Filling Out Your Draft Card: [/b:925539e50c]

1 - On your draft card you can only put players whose last name begins with your Country OR players whose last name begins with a letter not from one of the 12 picked Countries.

2 - Players in which you own the rights to should be put at the bottom of your draft card.

3 - Once the frenzy starts all players are fair game. Let me repeat that: ALL players are fair game once the frenzy starts. If someone decides to drop the player picked in Round 2 they can be picked up as well. Country designations do not apply once the frenzy starts.

[b:925539e50c] Additional Tidbits: [/b:925539e50c]

1 - Your team name should reflect your Country.

2 - Your Manager name should be someone associated with your Country, whether famous or infamous.

3 - Vets preferred. Please don't sign up if you don't have availability.

4 - Randomizer will be done when league fills. Your number assignment will be the number you are when signing up.

5 - Please be available for the live draft if signing up. A two-hour time limit will be imposed thru Friday. If we're still drafting during the weekend a 6 hour T.L. will be imposed. 9am to midnight EDT

I guess I can try it again. My Macedonia Yugos weren't too bad last season. Not one of Jeep's best seasons....so I assume he is out for revenge by bringing this theme back. :wink:

Jeepdriver,

To keep some "theme integrity", can we impose some kind of minimum on the number of players you have to retain from your "country"?

[Jeepdriver]

I don't think I'll impose a minimum due to some letters aren't as deep as others. Also, since all players are free game when the frenzy hits, it's not a strict theme per se anyway.

Yes Kev, revenge is in order, this theme produced one of my worst '09 teams.
