LA-Z-BOY’S LEAGUE LVI-(56) FORMAT
I'm going to ask that everyone have their team purchased and available for league entry no later than Friday 9/4/15. This will allow the league to draft before 9/11/15 if need be.
Please read as rules have been stream lined even further, clock (if needed) will be used as follows 6 hours (Rounds 1-2), 3 hours (Rounds 3-13) we have to try to avoid and minimize long delays without a pick because proxies aren't used. It's just not fair to the managers that make their picks on-time or have proxies set if they aren't going to be around. While diamonddope has had its problems using diamonddope with the ability to proxy is better than doing the draft on ILC. diamonddope is currently working well. The diamonddope system is easy to use and if there is a question please ask. We will use the diamonddope site, if I can get everyone registered (if new players join). Should there be any problems, we'll revert back to our old drafting method, here on ILC. Using ILC is a last resort.
We will use these revised LA-Z-BOY Rules with the draft lasting up to a ten day period (Monday or before start with clock, one weekend, Friday conclusion). The drafting time will be a 6 hour clock for rounds 1& 2 ,with a three hour for the remaining rounds, (3-13) this is to accommodate the varied work schedules we have but allows for the draft to move on after 6 or 3 hours as the draft moves into the later rounds. (We shouldn't have to wait all day for Bud Weiser to be picked). Guys please remember the draft has its ebbs and flows and sometimes due to work schedules and computer availability there are longer breaks between picks than everyone might like. With the sliding clock proxies will have to be used but should lead to a more predictable number of picks per day and also limit the number of days needed to draft.
.
League will use the ATG VIII (8) Historical Version of SOM Game, Advanced, 100MM or agreed upon other CAP, NO D/H, Frenzy, and 5/10/20 drop rule. ORIGINAL LA-Z-BOY RULES***********
Next D/H Season will be LA-Z-BOY 57
We will start drafting rounds no later than Monday 8/31/15 on diamonddope . Our Frenzy will be the night the league is filled or no later than Friday 9/11/15, which ever occurs first .
We will use the randomizer to determine draft order.
Your Availability will be required (if you have not loaded your team) on the frenzy evening, No later than 9/8/15 but probably sooner as our drafts have moved along much quicker the last several seasons. (About a 1 to 1.5 Hour Commitment) If you are unable to make this commitment please do not join this league. Additional note team loading will start at the end of the player draft on diamonddope but Frenzy will be no later than Friday 9/11/15 so all can participate. Frenzy can be moved with agreement of the League
League Opening Day will be no later than Monday 9/14/15 but possibly sooner
League Draft will consist of up to 12 diamonddope player draft rounds and one stadium, again to be determine by flow of the draft. No matter what player and stadium draft will be concluded no later than Thursday evening 9/10/15.
Stadiums will be UNIQUE, diamonddope has been updated so we can make stadium pick there on a first come, first served basis after Round 8.
ALL TEAMS must be entered in the league by no later than Friday, 6:00 PM ET, 9/11/15, NO EXCEPTIONS!!!, with Frenzy to follow (11:05 PM ET.). Again an earlier frenzy should be expected so we are not waiting a week for the league to draft.
All drafted players are to be put on the BOTTOM OF YOUR DRAFT LIST.
Division Assignments will be by Strat's Randomizer option, this will eliminate the problem of having to wait on any one particular team, except of course if it's the 12th team that will close out the League. I know it was nice to know your division opponent when drafting but loading the league has been a slow cumbersome event that can be streamlined using SOM division randomizer.
I know every possible situations is not covered in the rules but any decisions that have to be made will be made as fairly as possible.
Again We will use the diamonddope draft site, this the best option available for the way LA-Z-BOY drafts. Keeping the draft fair for all work schedules. Key is using proxies
Lastly everyone is to have fun and may we have another fun filled season of LA-Z-BOY Baseball.
