New 24 TKL - 2/10 deadline for ballpark change

So, it looks like we need 6 new owners. I will advertise on the main forum, might take a while. With 7 new owners (including rvalente), rather than having the new owners take over the existing teams we will have a dispersal draft with the 7 new owners selecting 20 players each from among the 7 open team's players. That should help recruiting new owners and gives them a chance to build their own team instead of taking over someone else's team.

I might have a new owner. Will discuss with him tomorrow

I have room for another Keeper if there are still open slots?

There are plenty of slots. Looks like with this many open slots there will be a draft of the players from the open teams. Seems like fun, wish I was not already in the league! LOL

That is half the reason I want in!

Plus some pretty good players on those teams it looks like.

Yep, hveed, welcome to the league. If coachteel or sjkorte come back before we fill up they will get their teams back but the other 5 teams marked "vacant" will definitely have their players in the dispersal draft.

Hi Jack,

Apologies if this is already posted somewhere?
1- How do we know what pick we have? I think it is based on inverse order of finish from last season.
2- Where will the 7 new dispersal teams be slotted in the draft?

Thanks,
TVF

EDIT I will post the draft order shortly. The 1st round is usually based on a weighted lottery among the 12 worst teams, for this season I will extend the lottery to all the non-playoff teams (including new owners), excluding my team. I am going to move my 1st rd pick to the 17th slot, it would be a lot higher but since I am making these changes to the draft process I will move my pick back to avoid a conflict of interest. The dispersal teams will take part in the lottery, their chances in the lottery will be for the 11th through 16th slots. (Coachteel contacted me via email and is coming back so there will be 6 dispersal teams). After the 1st round the order is based strictly on last season's record, the new owners will pick 12 through 17, with their order the opposite of the 1st round of the dispersal draft.

- The dispersal draft will be serpentine, with the order determined randomly. For the regular and prospect drafts the dispersal teams will be slotted the same (12-17) for each round, in reverse order of the 1st round of the dispersal draft.

- Draft picks that dispersal teams traded away will be still be honored but no picks will be taken from the new owners, there will just be an extra pick taken. The picks will be taken in the slot where the old team that traded the pick would have drafted.

- Draft picks that were traded to dispersal teams by returning owners will still be taken from those returning teams but the picks will not be given to dispersal teams; since there is not a fair way to distribute them, those picks will just be skipped.

I think the above process is as fair as possible but if anyone has any questions, concerns, or suggestions let me know. It would have been easier to just have new owners take over existing teams but most people prefer to draft their own team, plus they didn't make the trades involving draft picks so it does not really make sense that they lose or gain picks for trades someone else made.

Draft Order - Pre-lottery - The lottery may change the order for the first 16 teams.
