[b:234b518143]Theme Rules[/b:234b518143]

12 players will be live drafted, the remaining 13 will be autodrafted. Each of the 12 rounds will be in the following format: A different position for each owners pick each round. Here are the 12 positions:

8 position players (C,1B,2B,3B,SS,LF,CF,RF)
1 DH (explanation to come)
1 SP
1 RP
1 Wildcard (explanation to come)

Therefore all 12 positions will be accounted for during each round. Here's a "mock " round:

Owner1: 2B Utley
2: SS Rollins
3: RF Ethier
4: CF Rasmus
5: SP Greinke
6: 1B Pujols
7: DH Ortiz
8: 3B Beltre
9: WC Lee
10:LF Holliday
11:RP Kimbrel
12: C Montero

As you can see each succeeding owner picks a different position and all 12 rounds are conducted in this fashion.

*DH: Can be any position player with a 3 range or worse. No 1 or 2 ranges with the DH pick (no 1 or 2's at any position)

*Wildcard (hence the name of the league) Can be used 1 time per owner and only once per round. Once you use your WC pick that's it/and once an owner uses a WC pick for a particular round, no more WC's that round. Therefore, 1 WC per round and 1 WC for each owner during the draft. The WC player can be any hitter OR pitcher.

* A player can be used at any position he qualifies at. For example: Cargo may be used at LF if CF had already been picked that round. It also can be a strategic way to block out a position for the remainder of that round.

[b:234b518143]Other Important Rules:[/b:234b518143]

1) Trading - Allowed.

2) 12 Drafted players must come in at a max of $73.5K in order to draft a valid team. All drafted players must be put on draft card. Penalty for this even if unintentional is losing that player and he becomes a Free Agent.

[b:234b518143]Important:[/b:234b518143]

A. You [b:234b518143]WILL[/b:234b518143] be forced into picking certain positions late in each round especially the wildcard as one HAS to be used every round.

B. It [b:234b518143]MAY[/b:234b518143] happen that a manager gets forced into picking the same position more than once.

C. You may initiate the same position more than once. For example: Just because an owner selected a SP in Round I doesn't mean he can't select a SP in subsequent Rounds.

[b:234b518143]Stadium Selection:[/b:234b518143]

To be selected at any time during the draft in any round along with your draft pick. When you're ready for Stadium selection you post it along with your regular player pick for that round. Stadiums are unique.

[b:234b518143]Divisions:[/b:234b518143]

The first Four to select a park will comprise The East. Next four The Central and last Four The West. This enables someone to challenge or even possibly duck an opponent.

[b:234b518143]Time Limits:[/b:234b518143]

3 hours 9am to Midnight EDT M-F. Expands to 6 hours at 9am Sat. thru Midnight Sunday. No T.L. during Round I. Since Mother's Day is this Sunday no TL 'this coming' weekend.

No clock in Round 1.
