New Live 2-Team Live Franchise draft. No Yanks/Ruth

Live 2-franchise (No Yanks/Ruth) DH draft- Mon. 8/1 9:00

rules below:

Pick one of the 12 franchises from side A: 1)Braves 2)Redsox 3)Cubs 4)Reds 5)Indians 6)Tigers 7)Dodgers 8)A's 9)Phillies 10)Pirates 11)Giants 12)Cardinals

Pick a 2nd Franchise from side B: 13)Orioles 14)Angels 15)Whitesox 16)Astros 17)Royals 18)Expos/BlueJays 19)Brewers 20)Twins 21)Mets 22)Padres 23)Mariners 24)Rangers

NO franchises can be duplicated. The Yankees, including BABE RUTH (I know he played for RedSox and Braves) and NeL players can not be picked! You can draft any player that played for your franchises. Example: Roger Maris has only a Yankee card but since he played for the Yanks, Indians, A's, and Cards those franchises can pick him up. You can have a Yankee player that played for your franchise except-Babe Ruth. NeL players can not be drafted unless they played for your franchise. I believe Paige, W. Brown and Trouppe are the only guys to play for a franchise. If you draft a player that didn't play for you franchise you must drop him before waivers. If your not sure you can ask. Several managers will know.

Now here is the fun part. All left over players will be available for the waiver draft and FA including Babe Ruth. Could be interesting if you have the first pick in waiver draft-do you go Ruth, Gibson, Mantle? Depends on your current team. Choose any ballpark . Please label your team name with the teams you picked. PLEASE read the rules and if you have any questions let me know. Want to make it a fun league with a little twist. And a little bit challenging since you have to draft certain players first.

Read the directions and hope to see you join. Thanks

I don't have a way to message some of you that joined so I hope you read this.

Monday night rules:

1) Can not draft NeL players. (except-those that played for your franchise-Paige,Trouppe, Brown)

2) Can not draft Yankee players. (except those that played for your franchise-so no Mantle, Gehrig, Etc.)

3) Can not draft Ruth.

4) We are playing with the rules that you can pick any player that played for your franchise at one time. Not playing only the cards. Example- Maris has only Yankee card but is eligible to play for Indians, A's, and Cards

5) If a player played for more than one team then whichever eligible franchise drafts him first gets him. So if Indians, Cards, and A's want Maris-whoever picks him first gets him.

6) This is very important!!!- If you draft a player that never played for your team. So if my team (dodgers-twins) takes George Brett- then i will have to either drop him (and no one can pick him up but Royals team or trade him to the Royals team (for junk-no taking Bonds then trading him for J. Foxx.) You will basically lose a draft pick.

7) You have to know franchise histories- (1901 Brewer-1902 St. Louis Browns-1954 Orioles) 1901 Brewers didn't become the present day Brewers. If you are not sure you can ask me during the draft or before and I or someone else will tell you.

8) After the draft- All remaining players are eligible at waivers and FA. Even if they never played for your franchises.

9) If you don't draft a player that only played for your team. (If I don't take Campy) then that player is eligible for any team at waivers and FA. So make sure you get the guys you want during the draft. The only time this won't come in play is if someone takes one of your players that they shouldn't. See #6. Hoping it doesn't happen.

10) Think that is about ever thing-Hope everyone has a great time and see you Monday night. Please ask me if you have any questions.

Thanks-Luker1971
