Three Season Keeper League Clone Draft and Chat Thread

[uncle ny]

Here are the rules that were used. They worked out great:

2006 ('05 season), 2007 ('06 season) and 2008 ('07 season):

1 - 5 Round Draft, drafting 1/2 Teams (either Pitching or Hitting).

1a - MUST draft either 3 Hitting & 2 Pitching squads, or 2 Hitting & 3 Pitching squads.

2 - You keep the SAME 1/2 Teams for all three Seasons*

2a - Your personnel WILL change from year to year as players played on different teams on different seasons

Ex: Carlos Delgado, a Met in '06 but a Marlin in '05.

3 - You retain RIGHTS to ALL players on your 5 combined squads (2.5 teams) for the full season. Player movement is ONLY by TRADING, save for add/drops of players whose rights you own.

4 - Players belong to the team they finished the season with/team name on their TSN Card.

Ex: Cliff Floyd played on 3 teams in 2002, but belongs to Red Sox as that is the team he finished the season with.

5 - Players traded are solely for that season. Owners regain the rights to the player for future years, so long as the player remains on a 1/2 team they control.

6 - Barring majority preference otherwise, the 5th Round will be in reverse order to Rounds 1 & 3.

6a - Also, barring majority preference otherwise, you can select your ballpark from any of the 5 half squads you draft.

Ex: You draft Boston H, Yankee H, Philly P, San Francisco P & Toronto H. You can play in Fenway, Yankee, Veterans, Pac Bell or SkyDome.

7 - There will be no clock during the weekends. Due to the skilled nature of the draft (remember you're drafting a team for 3 seperate seasons) the clock will be 24 hours long. Should you miss a turn, your next turns clock length will be decreased by half (to 12, 6, 3) - unless you select before next turn.

8 - All Seasons will use DH

9 - Pick III Lottery is High to Low. If two pick 3's use the late one.

10 - Season I Divisions are based on Draft order (1/4/7/10, 2/5/8/11, 3/6/9/12) while subsequent seasons divisions are based on record from previous season (best 4, middle 4, worst 4).

11 - All leagues are $80 mil

Remember, it goes 1-12, 12-1, 1-12, 21-1, 12-1

Since this is a three year league, let's try to go w/o a formal clock. But at the same time, let's all try to be generally available so we can get thru this part of the draft in 2-3 days.

Wow I am getting anxious for my pick, i went through and ranked each part team and am roaring to go, now nobody take my #1!!!1

[Jack377]

Me too, only I've got like 5 picks to go...

Is there any naming requirement for the team? I would like to start a TSN draft card to manage my money and player selection.

I didn't notice anything in the rules other than the stadium requirement.

I guess there's not, though, now that I think about it...it would be a little difficult to cram 5 team names into one name, huh?
