[b:2d336c495f]REPOST OF RULES[/b:2d336c495f]

Former Owners of Give & Take have priority. This is a strict policy. If you haven't played before you can be an alternate only. New: I'm doing it on DD this year to try and save me hours of "paperwork" I have to do when we do it on the boards. Former Owners have until Thu. at Noon EDT to sign-up.

[b:2d336c495f]Theme/Draft Rules: [/b:2d336c495f]

1) Each Owner picks 1 Hitter AND 1 Pitcher in the first two rounds. Obviously if you take a hitter in Round 1, you would take a Pitcher in Round 2.

2) Each Owner owns the rights to the team from which his first pick is made for the first TWO rounds of the draft. For example: Ike Davis is picked first. No succeeding Owner may take a Met player until after the first TWO rounds are completed. At the onset of Round 3 all players are fair game.

3) Your Stadium must be from the home park of one of your first two picks. If (this is important) you do not pick your stadium with your first pick, you MUST use the stadium from the team of your second pick. For example: Owner 1 with the Davis pick doesn't declare Citi Field as his park. He cannot pick Citi in Round 2. The only exception would be if he chose another Met player in Round 2. Then his park would obviously be Citi Field. NEW: Stadium must be declared on the boards immediately after your pick. If you fail to declare your Stadium within 30 minutes after your pick you will forfeit your opportunity for that park. Please avoid problems by really adhearing to this rule.

[color=blue:2d336c495f]Important:[/color:2d336c495f] Owners do not own rights to teams of which players are picked in Round II. For example: No one picked a Rays player in Round I and Longoria was picked during Round II. Another owner could pick a Rays player during this round. Please ask for clarification if this rule is confusing you.

4) As previously stated, ALL players are eligible to be drafted AFTER Round II.

5) There will be ONE additional Round after the 12 Round Live Draft called the Give & Take or the Screw Your Neighbor Round (both are acceptable ) "SYN" for short. This round as stated will be on the boards. Please be ready to do this round when it happens.

6) Randomization will be done again on a day TBD just before the completion of Round XII. This SYN Round is a completely new order from the original draft.

[color=blue:2d336c495f]7) Important:[/color:2d336c495f] First Two players picked and the SYN Round pick cannot be dropped at anytime, nor can they be traded. All other players may be dropped later, but all draft picks must be put on your draft card.

[b:2d336c495f]Screw Your Neighbor Round Rules: [/b:2d336c495f]

* Each owner gets to pick ANY player drafted by another Owner that was picked after Round II. Once an owner loses a player, he cannot lose any more players. Therefore each owner loses a player, AND gains a player.

* The player(s) picked in the Screw Your Neighbor round CAN NOT be re-stolen during this round.v

[b:92e5b8a931]There will be a separate thread for Park Picks[/b:92e5b8a931]

[Jeepdriver]

Draft is created. Everyone reread the rules to refresh themselves. Be especially careful in your stadium pick and note there's a thread for stadium picks in conjuction with your reg. pick on DD.

[b:be7db46f76]Please pick your park or say "no park yet" (in the appropriate thread)when you make your first pick on DD.[/b:be7db46f76]

Dan has already not done that. Those that fail to do so do not come back and try to make up for your mistake later.
