**Alphabet Lg - We Have Draft Order! Go to ILC for Draft

2016 Alphabet League

Rules:

Basically you draft by letter, say 1st is A, then 2nd is B, and 3rd is C, etc etc, drafting a player whose LAST name starts with that letter. The draft goes in order of the Alphabet. Once a letter has run out of players, we will skip that letter from then on. You can (and will) have multiple players with the same letter.

New Rule this time: We will have 26 Rounds. One extra for everyone to draft their park. At anytime during the draft you can draft your park. Drafting a Park is as follows: 'A' would be used to draft Turner Field. ('A' for Atlanta, not 'T' for Turner) All parks are selected like this based on city, not Park name.

But you are not stuck with the same letter every time! We have 2 kinds of passes that let you skip to the next letter. There is a Letter pass, where IF you have already drafted that letter previously, you can pass over to the next letter. There is also a Free pass, where you pass to the next letter whether or not you've already drafted the letter you are on. Each player gets 3 Free passes for the entire draft. Letter passes are unlimited. You can only use 1 of each pass per turn [i.e. most you could skip would be 2 letters per turn (with 1 exception) using 1 Free Pass and 1 Letter]. You cannot use 2 Free Passes or 2 Letter Passes in the same turn. It is OK, however, to use 1 FP, 1 LP, and 1 (letter empty) in one turn.

The draft is fun because with the cap, it makes for very interesting teams. Example draft: Player 1 - T: Trout; Player 2 - U: Utley; Player 3 - V: Free Pass, W: Wainwright.. and on and on

Also, as far as FAs goes, all trades/drops/adds must be letter for letter (i.e drop an A for an A, not B for C then C for B). All Owners must keep 25 players exactly (11P,14H) for the season in order to match the letters they drafted. You must draft an Autodraft-ready squad. Two cathers for instance. We'll do two randomizers: 1 for draft position, and 2 for which letter we start with. For example, Jeep wins first draft spot. A 1-25 randomizer will then put the letters in a random order. If '15' wins the 1-25 randomizer then Jeep starts with the 15th letter "O." The next Owner with 'P' and so on. It's 1-25 because there's no players with an 'X.'

Be mindful of the cap though. If you run out of cap space, and are forced to draft a player you can't afford, you will have to drop another player to make room for it. The rules used to state your most expensive player, but I find that too harsh and will deem it to be one of your top 5 players (in salary).

Keep in mind this is a pretty labor intensive Draft and you will have to check in frequently. With all the different letter possibilities proxies are possible, but limited in use than a normal draft. Whenever skipped, you will have to take that letter, no passes will be afforded you, whether you already used that letter or not. 3 hour T.L.s 10am-midnight EDT. 6 hour T.L. on weekends, no T.L. for first round.

Bump - 4 Spots Left

i told jeep already, but I am unavailable on Fri/Sat/Sun this upcoming weekend. Really thought we'd have started last weekend or at least today, but who knows. If it's gonna start over this weekend, I may need to withdrawal. just a heads up.

We have 4 Spots available. If you've never played this theme, the draft is a heckuva lot of fun.
