Reposting of the Rules:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[b:84ad2eafac]WildCard Theme League V Rules[/b:84ad2eafac]:

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 Giles
2: SS Rollins
3: LF Floyd
4: CF Sizemore
5: SP Johnson
6: 1B Pujols
7: DH Ortiz
8: 3B Chavez
9: WC Santana
10:RF Vlad.
11:RP Wagner
12: C Varitek

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.

*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: Cabrera may be used in LF if 3B has already been picked that round. It also can be a strategic way to block out a position for the remainder of that round.

Other Important Rules:

1) Trading - Allowed. Must be 1 on 1 or 2 on 2, etc. No uneven trades, and trading draft positions is also allowed. All trades must be fair & equitable.

2) $80mil Advanced League with Regular waivers and a DH. 20% Drop Penalty. Normal SOM rules after autodraft.

3) Need someone to do a random draft indicator for draft positions (I haven't done this yet)

4) NOT a serpentine format. Everyone gets a shot at first pick with the following format. Here it is:

ROUND1: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
ROUND2: 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
ROUND3: 4 5 6 1 2 3 10 11 12 7 8 9
ROUND4: 9 8 7 12 11 10 3 2 1 6 5 4
ROUND5: 5 6 1 2 3 4 9 10 11 12 7 8
ROUND6: 8 7 12 11 10 9 4 3 2 1 6 5
ROUND7: 2 3 4 5 6 1 12 7 8 9 10 11
ROUND8: 11 10 9 8 7 12 1 6 5 4 3 2
ROUND9: 3 4 5 6 1 2 11 12 7 8 9 10
ROUND10:10 9 8 7 12 11 2 1 6 5 4 3
ROUND11: 6 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 10 11 12 7
ROUND12: 7 12 11 10 9 8 5 4 3 2 1 6

Important:

A. You WILL be forced into picking certain positions late in each round especially the wildcard as one HAS to be used every round.

B. It MAY 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.

Stadium Selection:

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

Divisions:

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.

Beach may start the draft at anytime, yea :D

Sometimes (not necessarily always) we'll be able to begin a new Round before the previous Round is over. You'll be able to see how that will work as we go forward with the draft.

That, along with the fact it's not a serpentine draft, we'll ALWAYS list the [b:5c78d354cd]Current Round[/b:5c78d354cd] along with the [b:5c78d354cd]Next Round[/b:5c78d354cd] during the draft.

Thanks in advance to everyone for copying and pasting correctly.

And GL everyone!!

Also, remember how we pick parks and divisions so you won't be at a disadvantage or anything.

I'm sure it's not a trendy pick but I'll take a little O and a little D, please: Andruw Jones starts it off. I'll see what y'all have left at the end of Round 2 when my next selection rolls around... :?

Hawkeye is up. :D

[Jeepdriver]

And away we go :D

Good job Beach on remembering the "positions remaining" :D

Jeeper,

After being at the TV compound today, I can tell you now that it's the OPPOSITE of what I told you originally.

My cell phone WORKS inside the truck, but since I am in the middle of po-dunk Oklahoma and in an "Extended Area," the phone can't connect to the internet server, so I CAN'T check e-mail. :evil:

So, you need to CALL me not e-mail me.

Then, I'll just ask you who has been taken and probably call you back shortly after that.

Sorry to be such a burden. :cry:

[Jeepdriver]

No problem Sandy

Hawk is up for Pick#2
