Posted: Sat Nov 08, 2014 4:51 pmFor managers who are experienced in theme league please . . .
Alphabet Soup
$80 mil. 5-10-20. Advanced. DH.
0. We randomize 1-12 for draft order on the Individual Chat Board, once we are full here. At that time, we'll begin a draft. No clock this weekend, if we fill, but starting Monday Morning at 9 a.m. eastern, a 3-hour draft window will go into effect until 11:00 p.m. EST.
1a. First Round: Going 1-12, we choose ONE letter of the alphabet corresponding to the entire pool of ATG8 hitters. The only hitters from which we can choose are those whose last names start with THAT LETTER we have chosen.
1b. Drafting of Hitter letter pools continues up from 12-1 until we complete the choices. Each manager would wind up with TWO letters for his hitters, and the LOCATION in the managers' team names should be two words that reflect these two letters (B and I choices would yield a location like "Bimini Isle" for example)
(To get to 24 letters in the pool, I've combined "I" and "Q." There are no "X" players)
Here is the count of Hitters cards by the letter of their last name:
A 85
B 253
C 220
D 138
E 39
F 85
G 155

2a. Round TWO of the draft is for Pitchers. The same procedure BUT, the manager who selected LAST in the hitters draft, will now select FIRST. The manager who picked FIRST will now select LAST. So, draft order is 1-12, 12-1 for hitters, then 12-1,1-12 for pitchers.
2b. Again, we will continue until each manager has TWO letters for his pitchers (along with the TWO letters for his hitters.) Once more, as with the hitters, Each manager would wind up with TWO letters for his pitchers, and the TEAM NAME should be composed of two words that reflect these two letters (G and M choices would yield a teamname like "Green Monsters" for example)
Here is the pitcher card count distribution for each letter:
A 44
B 190
