Repost of Rules:

[b:fb659ae652]Give & Take Theme League General Rules:[/b:fb659ae652]

1. 12 Round Serpentine Draft done on the boards.
2. 1 Additional Round called the Give & Take or the Screw Your Neighbor Round (discussed in detail below)
3. Advanced League/DH/Weighted Waivers/$80M/20% Drop Penalty
4. Random number generator determines draft order.
5. Draft starts immediately after we fill the league.
6. 3 hour T.L. for each pick beginning in Round II incl. weekends. (9am-midnight EDT)

[b:fb659ae652]Theme/Draft Rules:[/b:fb659ae652]

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: Santana is picked first. No succeeding Owner may take a Minn. 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 Santana pick doesn't declare The Metrodome as his park. He cannot pick the Metrodome in Round 2. The only exception would be if he chose another Minn. player in Round 2. Then his park would obviously be the Metrodome.

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 )

Random number generator will be done again on a night TBD just before the completion of Round XII. This G&T (or Screw Your Neighbor) Round is a completely new order from the original draft.

[b:fb659ae652]Screw Your Neighbor Round Rules: [/b:fb659ae652]

* 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.

* 12 drafted players total, the remaining 13 are via the AD.

Looking to trade draft spots if anyone is interested and/or it is allowed ... would prefer closer to a corner like 1/2/11/12. I think I'm drafting 7th.

[ArrylT]

[cirills]

What will you offer me for MY corner AT???

[Jeepdriver]

It's ok to trade draft spots.

Keep in mind in Round I you're picking a player, from which you have exclusive rights to that team thru Round II. Picking a park in Round I is optional, but remember if you don't pick your park in Round I you can not go back and pick that park in Round II unless you pick another player from that team. This is to keep someone from obtaining a distinct advantage over another manager. So please keep this in mind now before we start so no one comes back to me crying that they didn't know this.

Otherwise everything is pretty self-explanatory, but don't hesitate to ask me anything. No question is too silly if you don't understand something. :)

All that said, barring a trade, [b:96057976dc]SANDY [/b:96057976dc]is up!! :lol: 8)

sandy: I'm looking for someone to swap entire draft spots with - ie I pick at 1/12, 2/11, 11/2 or 12/1 every round.

[cirills]

Got it boss man.

Hard to trade here anyways, sine future picks could end up getting "stolen". :P

[ArrylT]

Too true - just thought I'd give it a shout. I like picking on the corner in this kind of league but I am sure I'll do fine at the 7 spot. :)
