I will be forming a new league here shortly. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up to plan.
7 round live draft. Draft order to be determined by randomizer.
Manager CANNOT live draft more than one player at any of the carded players primary positions. For example, a Manager cant draft Ripken and Ozzie Smith OR anaother example, Mattingly and Mcgwire. Basically NO hording during the short live draft
Manager CAN only draft two SPers, but doesnt have to draft any!
Only one RP though, again, doesnt have to draft one!
Regular 80 mil .
These 7 players are to be considered your "franchise" players, and cannot be dropped, traded is fine, as long as its for another managers franchise player.
A stadium draft will occur at the same time as our player draft. Again, with a seperate randomizer to determine draft order for stadiums. Yes, someone may get lucky and pick first twice, but chances are that wont happen, and I dont like the reverse order of the player draft thing, cause picking 12th, is not so bad actually when picking players. IMO, picking 5th-8th is the worst when it comes to player drafts.
After the first season every manager has his 7 franchise players, plus(!) we can "protect" 3 more players. The rest of your players are considered released. Protected players can have the same primary position as any of your 7 franchise players.
There will be a short 3 round draft after every season is complete with playoffs. Draft order for the teams that dont make the playoffs, will be by record, worst to best, and the 4 playoff teams by finish, champ picks last, final loser picks 11th, and the two teams that lose in the first round, will be by head to head record for the 9th and 10th spot.
The draft between seasons, can actually be more than 3 rounds though! This is the fun part, if a manager elects to draft a protected player (not franchise, they are untouchable) from another manager, the manager that loses that protected player, will get another draft choice at the end of the 3rd round. This extended draft order, will be determined by the cost of the total protected players lost. If you lose 2 players that add upto 8 million, and someone else loses 3 players at a total of 5 million, the manager with the highest cap loss, picks first)
If a manager loses all 3 protected players, that manager gets 3 picks at the end of the draft, 2 players, two picks, 1 player, 1 pick.
After 3 seasons, we will start over, with the manager with the worst combined record in all 3 seasons getting the first pick, the manager with the best combined record gets the 12th etc etc etc.. ties broken by randomizer so if two teams tie for 4th worst record, and the 6th worst record, two randomizers will be drawn to break the ties.
Like your players, but they didnt work in your stadium? Elect to drop your stadium and draft a new one during the 3 round draft between seasons! You just wont get to pick as many players as the rest of us!
