Let's draft 'em all -- all 940 played!

I modified a typical set of keeper league rules, as shown below, and also added it to a new tab in the Google doc.

* * * * *

ROSTER MANAGEMENT
940 players / 12 franchises = 78.33 players each
(8 teams at 78 and 4 at 79)

Majors: 25 active
Minors: 8 teams at 25 active, 4 teams at 26 <-- Edit: Let's say each team "up to 26" for equal opportunity
Instructional: 28 active

LEAGUE SETUPS
2012 unleashed set
DH: Yes
Drop penalty: 10%
Divisions randomized by game engine

Majors: $200 mil cap
Minors: TBD -- currently proposed at $50 mil
Instructional: TBD -- currently proposed at $25 mil

INJURIES
In the event of injuries, it will not be necessary to release the injured player. A replacement may be called up to the Majors or the Minors for the duration of the injury, but he or another player must be returned to the lower level before the next series.

When a player is called up, he must be dropped at the same time from the lower level team. Managers are responsible for doing this on the honor system. Prior to each night's play, each manager will make sure his/her teams have the appropriate total number of players on the active rosters, with the exception that injured players need not count against such totals at that moment in time.

STAGED LEAGUE START DATES
As shown in the Google doc, league start dates will be setup so that "September call-ups" will have less impact on lower level title runs. The Instructional league will start first, followed by the Minors and then by the Majors. At one week apart, this means that when the lower level league concludes the regular season, then the higher level league will be at game 141 (and still able to add players to rosters).

LATE SEASON CALL-UPS
In the Majors and the Minors, each team may add additional players to their active rosters (to a maximum of 28 players) after game 132 has been played.

TRADES
Trading players is allowed and encouraged. Trades must be posted by both owners in the league ILC chat thread before they can be enacted. No franchise may have more than 79 players, though, so all trades must allow teams to stay within that limit.

EVERYBODY PLAYS
Each player must remain assigned to a franchise for the entire season and -- in the spirit of Little League coaches everywhere -- every player must be used in at least one game. Let's play 'em all...

LATER UPDATES TO THE PROPOSED RULES WILL BE SHOWN IN THE FIRST POST IN THIS ILC THREAD AND IN THE RULES TAB OF THE GOOGLE DOC

The wildcard draft clock is now ON

Shelley Duncan is listed twice on the wild list. The first one should show the name Chris Parmelee.

OK, thanks, I changed it back to Parmelee

One edit made to "rules" post -- and that post was also copied to the first post in this chat thread, in order to find it easier.

NOTE: To change your ILC clock from daylight time back to standard time, go to User Control Panel --> Board Preferences --> Summer Time/DST is in effect and then click on "No"

I m going to lay down for a lil before work. I ll check back in at 330 or so to see if there was any progress.

With the switch to standard time, we had an extra hour delay this morning. Things should start moving again, now that the clock is back in action on a normal 2-hour schedule.

IMO Minors will need a larger cap than $50 million
some folks have 2+ pretty good and $$ at the same position.
It makes more sense to play one in minors and others in majors rather than have one sitting on bench.
