I posted soliciting ideas for this a while back but now that the mega draft is coming down the home stretch I have more time to devote to it. I'm going to throw this idea out and see who's willing to give it a try. It may be a horrible idea, I dont know.
The point of creating this is actually to promote more theme leagues for those who are bored and potentially looking for something different. Anyone is free to reuse or modify the random effects to their liking if they want to start their own random effects league. The more times it gets played, likely the better!
Here's how it works:
- This league will use the 90s player set, but future versions could (probably) use any.
- 80 million salary cap
- DH
- There will be a 6 round live draft on the board, draft order determined by randomizer
After the 6 round draft is complete, one of a list of random effects will be applied to the league randomly chosen (generally involving the drafted players). We will then adapt to the random effect that is chosen as necessary.
Here is the list I have so far (which includes others suggestions, slightly modified by myself):
1. All drafted players are ineligible for all managers for entire season. There will be no redraft, just autodrafting a full 25 man roster minus all the listed players.
2. Drafted players must remain on your roster all season long.
3. Drafted group of players will be randomly assigned to another manager, and must be kept on the roster for first series. In addition, those players are ineligible to the original drafting manager all season long.
4. Drafted players must be put on your draft card in the bottom 6 slots, but other managers may put them on their draft card anywhere.
5. Drafted players must remain on the roster through game 42. Once the cap hit drops from 95 - 90%, they are eligible for release.
6. Keep the drafted players, but a random salary cap between 60-70 million will be determined. Drafted players must remain on roster for the first series.
7. The 72 players picked go into a draft pool and a new 5 round draft is held with only those players, with the restriction that the manager who selected them originally cannot draft them again (unless they have no other choice). Drafted players must remain on the roster for the first series.
8. 3 of your drafted players will be privately passed to another team in your division. They must stay on that team for the entire season. In addition, your 3 drafted players that you do not pass, must remain on the roster for opening day. Randomizer will be run to determine who is going to pass to who and then all 12 managers will private message the list of 3 players to pass to someone else. That way nobody knows who they will be getting when determining who to pass.
9. Random order is run. Each manager must take one player from another team's drafted players. You can only take one player from a team. If the 12th manager's team has not lost a player by the 11th pick then the 11th manager must take a player from the 12 manager's team. A player can only be stolen once so another manager can not steal your stolen player. Every team will then steal a player and have a player stolen per round. This will go on for 2 rounds.
10. League changed from DH to NO DH. Drafted players must remain on roster for first series.
11. You will be randomly assigned a stadium. Drafted players must remain on the roster though game 42.
This is an experiment. I'm starting off with a 6 player draft, but we may find 4 or even 5 (though I dont like odd numbers myself) round draft may work better. Rules can be changed in future versions for the sake of improvement.
