Rules:
1. In turn, each Manager will select three (3) players which all must come from the same franchise. For example, the selections from the first manager may be: Ruth, Mantle and Gehrig.
2. You don't need to use the highest value card of a player, but the card used must be from that 3 player group franchise. For example, if you chose Lajoie with two other A's players in that 3 player group, you could not then use one of his Cleveland cards.
3. This will be a serpentine draft (1 to 6, then 6 to 1, and so on) - such that Manager selecting 6th will also select 7th, the Manager with the 1st selection will also draft 12th and 13th...
4. Once you draft a 3 player group from a franchise, you cannot select from that franchise again. Thus, if a Manager selects from the Yankees in any round, that would be the only Yankee player selections he could make.
5. There will be eight (8) rounds of drafting 3 players from a franchise.
6. A 9th round will consist of naming a ballpark from a franchise not selected by that Manager previously and a 25th player from the same franchise as the ballpark.
7. The following will be also considered franchises:
a) The NEL League
b) The West Coast (California, Seattle, San Diego)
c) The Heartland (Colorado, Kansas City, Milwaukee-Exp)
d) The Eastern Seaboard (NY Mets. Florida, and Tampa Bay)
e) The Southwest (Arizona, Houston, and Texas)
f) Team Canada (Montreal and Toronto)
g) Any pre-1900 players (e.g., Ross Barnes, Lady Baldwin, etal.) not on the drop down menus for any listed franchise. Note: Hugh Duffy is not part of this group since he is on the dropdown menu for the Boston Braves db.
8. A franchise includes any of its former teams (e.g., the Giants include the NY Giants).
9. The old Wash teams will be part of the Minn. franchise.
10. Each Manager must end up with a total of eight (8) 3-player groups from different franchises, along with a 25th player from the same franchise as used for the ballpark.
11. Time Clock: A Manager will have 24 hours to select a 3 player group. We will use the "date stamp from the ILC post. If not chosen in that time, the next Manager can select, with the skipped Manager being able to make his selections at any time after he is skipped. Note: Sunday will not count. So if the last Manager made his selection at 11:00 pm on Saturday, the next Manager has until 11:00 pm on Monday. I'm hoping we can move the draft along at a much quicker pace - especially as there will only be 6 Managers.
12. Trades allowed.
13. Free agent pickups allowed.
14. The "3 player group" rule for the franchises means the actual card that you use. You cannot use a card for a (multi-carded) player and also say that one of his other (unused) cards satisfies another 3 player franchise. For example, you could not use Reggie Jackson's A's card and then say your 3 player group requirement with the Yankees is met using Jackson again.
15. Per the roster rules, a team could possibly have a maximum of 28 players. For this league, we will limit the roster maximum to 27 players. If you have a 25th player, that player must come from a separate (9th) franchise and be the same franchise as your ballpark selection. If you add a 26th player, that additional player must come from the same franchise as your 25th player and ballpark. If you add a 27th player, that additional player must come from the same franchise as your 25th and 26th players and ballpark.
16. If you drop down to 24 players, your ballpark must be separate from the franchises of your eight (8) three player groups.
17. If you decide to change your ballpark (and presumably your 25th player) after the draft but before loading your team, that is allowed. Just post a message to the other managers so we know what went on.
18. NO DUPLICATE BALLPARKS (e.g. Only one Ebbets Field allowed).
19. We will have waivers - primarily to allow me to check that each team filled their roster and ballpark selection properly based upon draft choices. However the order gets assigned will be used.
Remember -- the restrictions are really meant for the actual draft and season play. Each Manager has the freedom to trade, pick up free agents, etc. during the pre-season time period. Again, your team does NOT have to fulfill the restriction in pre-season, but MUST fulfill it after the draft and from game 1 on.
