L.Pope/Real Team Franchise League Season 3 (formerly FFEL)

[Ducapa]

Anybody starting up a new theme league? I like the OFET league idea w/o a cap and trades/F.A. allowed. Anybody interested in starting another one like that or similar type league?

I will most likely be doing a second OFET league, but not for at least a month or more. I know it's a popular theme.

Franchise Theme League-Season 3.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the heels of a very fun/successful ( I won, woohoo) season 1 & 2 of the former L.Pope/Phillies Franchise Theme league last year, I would like to continue with a similar season 3.0 as I was not able to make it into season 2 (Real Team Franchise League). All season 1,2 owners have first dibs, but others can sign up as needed.


Season 3.0 Rules:

12 teams
100 M cap, 10% drop penalty.
DH
Unleashed
Draft 1.5 Franchises, 4 free agent players, 1 stadium
Frenzy Waivers
Trades Encouraged
Free Agent pickups allowed from undrafted franchises (full or half).
Stadium from 1.5 drafted franchises, or unique stadiums from undrafted franchises.

Basic theme is each owner will draft 1.5 franchises allowing them to have permanent ownership of those 1.5 franchise's players, excepting trades. Owners must have at least 9 players total (not each) from their 1.5 drafted franchises on their active roster, trades/drops are ok as long as total is at least 9.

After the franchise draft a five round live draft (diamondope or chat thread) will be held, owners will take any player from the non-drafted franchises and one stadium in the 7th round. After the draft a scheduled frenzy will be conducted, all undrafted players from the undrafted franchises will be free agents eligible to be picked up by any owner.
Drafts:
1.5 Franchise Draft: 2 rounds, randomizer determines order,
serpentine

Free Agent Players Draft: 4 rounds, order will be
reverse of salary of 1.5 drafted franchises.
No serpentine, owners will select any players from the 6 undrafted full franchises and 12 undrafted half franchises, trading draft picks for other picks or players is not allowed. Trading commences in pre-season.

Stadium Draft: 1 round, order is reverse of round 6. All teams can use one of their 1.5 drafted franchises' stadium, or pick a unique stadium from any of the 6 undrafted (full) franchises.

After the draft and frenzy each roster should have:

1.5 Drafted Franchises-at least 9 total (example- 5 from SF, 4 from KC), max unlimited
Undrafted Franchises- up to 19

If you drop a drafted franchises' player they will remain yours exclusively (you are sending them to the minors, not releasing them). Traded franchises' players or free agents are not eligible to be dropped and rights retained by their new owner. Undrafted franchises' players are Free Agents at all times.
