Another way to pass the time - Drafting

[ROBERTLATORRE]

I'd gladly host a play by email league if anyone is interested.

1977 Two Franchise League. Serpentine Draft on TSN boards or by Email. Each Manager will select 1 NL team and 1 AL team and build a single team combining the two rosters.

Mon 5 PM EST (deadline) - ALL manager spreadsheets are due to me, I will set up all of the teams and the initial manager settings and send out manager reports from the game that night. You can review those to make sure that I entered your manager setting correctly.

I might be interested

Dale

[Paul_Long71]

that's different. I would be interested in that. PM me. I don't own the CD-Rom game, so I'd need the team rosters pre-draft....thanks

[ggrover15]

i would do that also.

[ROBERTLATORRE]

Going to work on this today now that Father's day is in the past.

We can run with as few as 4 managers, HAL can take other pairings or we can run with only 4 teams.

Anyone else interested?

I will be sending out roster sheets predraft so you can see the player pool and team rosters.

[Chuckgnh1]

Looking at the competition - well, someone's gotta be "the patsy", huh? But it sounds great. A very good era for players!

Chuck

[tcochran]

Sounds interesting. Count me in.

[ROBERTLATORRE]

Please PM me your email addresses, and we'll start the process.

We should also discuss some league rules, what are you thoughts on:

How many games will I run per night? 7, but I can run more if we all agree.
Roster Size? 25
Injuries on or off? ON
Ballpark Effects? YES
Weather Effects? NO
Fill up to 12 pairs of teams with HAL or only have teams with living breathing managers? Use HAL to round out the league to 12 teams
DH? NO
Each Manager chooses 1 AL and 1 NL Team? YES

There are many more but I'll set up similar to the TSN settings as much as I can.

Also, I'll have a "Managers" speadsheet for each team that you can submit daily, with lineups, strategy, etc.

[sidfernandez]

I'd be happy to play if you still have room. I PM'd my email address. Thanks.

[RICHARDMILTER]

I am interested if there is room, and I own the CD-ROM and the 1977 season.
