"Subject to the commissioner's final discretion, it is intended that for the semi-finals, there will be a live draft for the ballpark only (not for player drafts). Not only will the re-use of ballparks from events 1-5 be prohibited for the semi-finals, but furthermore, we will require use of unique ballparks for the semi-final round, and the finals. The order of drafting in both the semi-finals and the finals will be based on the point scoring in events 1-5. The drafts will NOT be serpentine for the finals - i.e. the draft order will be repeated in each round. These "seeding" rules for the draft order provide an incentive and a reward for the managers who finish with the highest scores in events 1 through 5.
Re ballparks in semi-finals:
Since each semi-finalist will have already used 5 different ballparks in events 1-5, they may not re-use those ballparks in the semi-finals. So, if a manager is picking 12th for the live ballpark draft in the semi-finals, they will have to choose from one of the 14 remaining ballparks (30 minus 5, minus 11 ballparks already drafted in that semi-final event).
Re ballparks in the finals
Same as for the semi-finals, except they also cannot re-use the ballpark that they used in the semi-finals, so that they can choose from one of the remaining 13 ballparks.
Finals player/ballpark draft
Subject to the commissioner's final discretion, the finals will use a live player/ballpark draft, consisting of 21 rounds. Each player must draft a ballpark, and such players that they can field a valid draft roster for the auto-draft of the remaining 5 players. So, they could not draft one ballpark and 20 hitters, since they would not be able to draft sufficient pitchers to have a valid autodraft roster."
"Semi-Finals round
After all 5 Events are completed, the top 36 ranked tournament managers will play in 3 leagues of 12 teams each in the Semi-Finals round. The 12 teams that qualify for the playoffs (4 from each of the 3 leagues) will advance to the
