Restatement of Rules

200M cap, DH allowed

Double Franchise Portion

Each manager would select two (2) franchise teams in a snake draft - with a randomizer identifying the order of the draft. So if you get the 1st selection and take the Yankees, then you have to wait until the 24th pick and take one of the remaining franchises - perhaps the Arizona team. This means the manager who selects #12 also gets to select 13th.

Plus 2 Portion

Each team will then select two (2) "free agent" players from the franchises not selected. The order of this portion will be 12 to 1, then 1 to 12. So if you were the 1st pick in the franchise portion, you would have the 12th and 13th selections in the "Plus 2" portion.

The rules would be:

a. A player belongs to the franchise with highest card value for that player. For example, The SF Giants would "own" Barry Bonds, and he could not be selected by the Pirates.

b. Except for the Plus 2 selections, players could only use a card they had for the particular franchise.

c. A player cannot be selected in the Plus 2 portion if they have a higher value card for one of the franchise teams chosen. For example, Roberto Alomar's Toronto card cannot be selected as a Plus 2 (assuming Toronto wasn't taken as a franchise) if Cleveland was selected as a franchise.

d. Any player, with multiple team cards, that is not chosen by the franchise he has the highest value card for would be available to another franchise he has a card for - after the waiver draft. The thought on "after the waiver draft" is to allow for corrections of any erroneous selections.

For example, if the Cardinals franchise passes on using Joe Torre, he can be picked up after the waiver draft by the Braves franchise, but could only use his Braves card.

e. The Negro League cannot be selected as a franchise; however, the Negro League players are available as Plus 2 selections - subject to the same rules.

f. You must use a ballpark that was used by one of your two (2) selected franchises.

A player that has cards for more than one franchise belongs to the highest salary franchise, through the end of the waiver draft. For example, Pedro Martinez "belongs" to Montreal. Please respect the rules and do not try to draft and keep players who have a higher value card with another manager's franchise.

If a player selection mistake is made and somehow a player is not dropped by the franchise making the error until after the waiver draft, the "owning" franchise should "claim" that player by sending an email to all before waivers.

Is this draft order correct? Based on the randomizer I should be picking 9th. My sign up number is 10. What am I missing?

it isn't correct and reggie r should be on the clock

It was a tougher choice than you might imagine, because of the plus 2 factor - but before paralysis from analysis set in, I decided to go with the old standby.

This was the result from the randomizer request:

Here you go:


Set #1:

9, 6, 8, 12, 1, 11, 7, 3, 10, 4, 2, 5

I guess there is a discrepancy between how to "interpret" those results. I followed the same methodology as when I ran a prior Double Franchise League - one in which a number of the current managers were involved in. Basically, the first sign-up (me) got the #9 pick and so on.

I do understand that the sequencing could be read a different way, and maybe I should have identified what order it would be interpreted.

That being said, I'm not sure what to do here. Do we just:

1. follow the order provided,
2. request a new randomizer and start again after deciding how to interpret the results, or
3. follow the other interpretation (i.e., you look where your sign-up number is ranked and get that selection)

I'm open to this - do we need to vote? If the logic is "per the Commissioner ruling", I say we stay with this order.

ok, let's keep going.
