New 1969 Theme League - Now Drafting

[Paul_Long71]

my only question/suggestion is that you make it so that stadiums can be picked at any time in the first 4 rounds (up to the owner if/when he elects to pick a stadium) instead of mandating it be in the 3rd round. That way the guy that has the first overall pick (and the first pick in the 3rd round) doesn't get too much of an advantage.....also adds a little strategy to the stadium picking.

:D :D :D

I will ask for a randomizer to be run on the ATG boards.

1-12 where the order you signed up in is your #. The first # in the randomizer gets the first pick and will match your sign-up #.

Gents,

I'm sorry that I could join you in this league - looks like a great theme to me! Here is a randomizer from a completely neutral 3rd Party:


Research Randomizer Results
2, 7, 6, 3, 8, 9, 5, 12, 11, 4, 1, 10

Good Luck to All!

I'm sticking with the original rule. With an 80 mil cap, draft order doesn't make a big difference. In any case, I figured that an early pick in round 4 was more valuable than a stadium pick in round 3. Keep in mind that Hall of Famers (and Rose) can't be cut. Plus, I'm not going to change the rules after the draft order has been established.

[Paul_Long71]

no problem........ I don't know how to set it up on Diamond Dope, but as soon as it's up.....we're ready to Go!

[franky35]

I am setting up the draft. We need usernames for Poppa Rock and AllStar and I have pm'ed them. So, we can't get the draft started til we have them signed up to Diamond Dope.

Also, I've started the draft on Diamond Dope. Can anybody see it? How do I change draft order? Right now, I've got 10 owners in, but I can't see the draft order.

[KEVINEHLE]

Just checking in and letting guys know I'm still around. I see the draft on Diamond Dope. Looking forward to the draft. The only issue is that I will be on the road Friday thru Sunday night. It's tough to add proxies on my phone but I am able to make manual picks. I'll do the best I can.

The wife and I are running the Chicago half marathon along Lake Shore Drive on Sunday, 9-11. Should be interesting! 22,500 runners all in red-white-blue to commemorate the lost souls ten years ago.

Hey, good luck, Kevin! Hope you and your wife have fun - this is a memorable event. I am sure your kids are proud too!

I am here too, should be an interesting draft. Thanks Franky for finally filling a theme league in the '69 game. It was slim pickings for awhile. Maybe this fall and winter things will pick up?

Thanks,
Dan
