Widow-Nomad 2 Franchise Players + 2 Bonus Keeper Campaign League
If this sounds like fun…..don’t procrastinate in joining….. Widowmaker and I started a 4 season Franchise League similar to this one a couple of weeks back and it filled in LESS THAN 24 HOURS!!!
If this sounds interesting and you're thinking of joining, then please read the F.A.Q. before posting questions, hopefully most if not all of your questions are included in the F.A.Q. below.
1 – 12 team league with varying caps over 4 seasons…ALL leagues would be RANDOM DIVISIONS.
Season 1 - $110M – DH
Season 2 - $120M – DH
Season 1 - $130M – DH
Season 2 - $140M - DH
2 – We’re looking for owners that are committed to playing ALL 4 seasons.
3 – There will be an initial 2 round snake draft held in the Private League Chat Rooms (anticipated to take no more than 48 hours.
4 – Drafting positions for the first round for the initial one time only FRANCHISE draft will be determined through a randomizer. The order for the 2nd round will be in reverse order (SNAKE).
5 – Owners should be able to check the chat room multiple times each day during the 2 day 2 round snake draft to ensure it completes on time and avoiding that the draft getting stuck for more than an hour or so during normal waking hours, the goal is if we can begin the initial 2 round snake draft by Monday (if we fill today) or Tuesday if we by the league by tomorrow, then we could fill out our draft cards and sit by Wed or Thu at the latest in order to draft later this week.
6 – In round 1 each owner will draft a player (hitter or pitcher) from ANY era. The owner will announce the year that they will choose to use the FRANCHISE player – which CANNONT change during any of the 4 seasons. The FRANCHISE PLAYER may not be traded and/or dropped and/or switched to a different salary during any of the 4 seasons of the Campaign…The owner will also draft a STADIUM from the same Franchise, although if the franchise moved at any time such as the Braves and Giants, then the owner may draft a stadium from another city as long as it was part of the historical franchise. The owner will name the year of the stadium to be used for the entire 4 season Campaign during which time it CANNOT change.
7 – In round 2 each owner will draft a 2nd player from the same franchise, although he may or may not be from the era as the player and/or stadium taken in the first player. The owner will also name the year of the player chosen to be used through ALL 4 seasons of the campaign. If the 1st player taken is a hitter then the 2nd player taken MUST be a pitcher and vice versa, if the 1st player taken is a pitcher then the 2nd player taken MUST be a hitter.
8 – It should be noted 2 or more owners may draft players from the same franchise, although stadiums would need to be different. For example, the 4th owner could draft 1955 Duke Snider + Dodger ‘05, then the 8th owner could draft 1953 Roy Campanella + Dodger ’78. In the second round owners #4 and #8 would need to draft Dodger pitchers, although they could be from the same or different eras as the players taken in the first round.
9 – These 2 players + stadium cannot change teams or salaries during ANY of the 4 seasons of the campaign.
10 – When the 1st draft card is prepared for season #1 – owners are recommended to list their FRANCHISE players at #24 and #25 and select the correct stadium and year…ALL owners should take great care to ensure that they do place ANY of the other 22 FRANCHISE players on their draft card…any owner that does so will be boiled in oil and sold into bondage in addition to being mocked and ridiculed by the other owners relentlessly.
11 – It is foreseen that the follow on seasons will commence approximately 6 weeks after the current season begins (after game 126). Each owner will be asked to submit a keeper list on the Sunday or Monday following the 126th game of the season. Each owner would name 2 keepers in addition to their 2 FRANCHISE players. Once all keepers for all 12 teams are announced and a KEEPER list will be posted for all owners to review. Owners would then be asked to prepare draft cards, listing their 2 FRANCHISE players + 2 keepers listed at #22, #23, #24 and #25 on their draft cards. Seating would then take place over the next few days in which we would ask all owners to join the private league NLT 11pm on that Thursday evening.
12 – It should be noted that the 2 additional keepers that are available AFTER the season 1 draft, can be traded and/or dropped at any point and that they can change from season to season, unlike the FROZEN FRANCHISE players during seasons 2, 3 and 4.
13 – All NeL players belong to the NeL franchise. If an owner or owners choose to draft NeL players as their FRANCHISE players, you can draft ANY stadium listed as an NeL stadium…it should be noted that if you do so, you should be careful, since your pitching options could be limiting.
