ATG8 Franchise Era 48 Team Tournament

I can't speak for Bill, but I know he is out of pocket until late next week.

Sign me up

Still waiting on George Bernard.. Once he confirms we will run the manager randomizer and draft for season1. I randomized the 48 teams and will post the season order soon.

Andy informed me George is out until next week, so please stay tuned. I will post the tournament schedule here and randomized draft order as soon as I get confirmation..

Thanks to all for your patience.. If waiting a few days to start is a problem for anyone, please PM me..

I'm in but away till next weekend.

Ok, thanks George. Glad you are in. I will post the schedule and randomized draft order soon.

Thanks 2cf

Great manager ensemble. Thanks for the invite 2cityfan.

Question, using Tris Speaker as an example. He has been noted as a 'supplemental" for the Red Sox, and is not noted as "do not draft" Cleveland. So does that mean that even though the intent is that a player can be used only once, if the db Sox and the db Indians end up in different segments, both the Sox and the Indians can use him?

hi Carr20,

PLEASE NOTE MY EDIT.. Steve is correct Speaker was accidently NOT put on the old Indians do not draft list. I fixed it. Let me know if you see any other discrepancies... thanks Steve

The answer to your question is detailed on the rules page. Speaker can ONLY be used as a Red Sox db.


"2. If a player is on your DO NOT DRAFT list, they can NEVER be drafted by you as that player has been designated for use on another team. It is highly likely that team will not be playing in the same season as your selected team, but we are going to run this tournament as if each player is eligible for 1 and only one team. For example, Eddie Collins has been assigned to the old time White Sox. Eddie Collins is on the DO NOT DRAFT list for the all-time Philadelphia A’s. Even if the all-time Philadelphia A’s and old time White Sox do not compete in the same season, the Philadelphia A’s can NEVER draft Eddie Collins."
