Open All-Time Great Teams League - bmilner’s turn to load

I don't why I only now thought of this but does each team's potential player pool break down into Pre-War vs. Post-War -- or does it break down into four separate pools -- deadball, pre-, post-, and expansion? My team is in the expansion era; so can I reach back and get a player from post-war? Or am I restricted to only expansion era players?

you can have any player that played for your franchise from 1947 on with some exceptions of course

The gas house gang is in my division? X-ray of Dizzy’s head shows nothing......

i think the players need to have a card for your franchise correct?

i think the players need to have a card for your franchise correct?

That is not correct. Please check the other thread...in it there are (if I say so myself) some extremely eloquent and exhaustive missives on the subject.

It would be nice to start loading since I am in East and I will have to keep checking back or risk holding up the other divisions. Or can I get a date/time as to when loading will begin so I can check in then?

i will check in tomorrow

not entirely sure how this works but if he creates the league tonight and we all fill it, it could put the waiver run on Thanksgiving?

Refresher course:


Full ATG set, Autodraft, $85MM CAP, no DH. 5% CUTS.

Process:

Pick a franchise AND SEASON. Franchises will be exclusive within each the pre & post WWII eras, marked at ‘46/‘47. Once a franchise/season is selected, that franchise is off the board in that era only...meaning that this league can have both pre and post WWII teams from the same franchise. So possibly, two Yankees teams, two Red Sox teams, etc.

Team selection order will be determined by randomizer once we fill here.

Rules:

You must use a franchise park, it can be any park in the set in which your franchise played, no matching era requirement.

From opening night on, you must roster a minimum of 13 players who played for your franchise during the season you select. It doesn't have to be that year's card, it doesn't even have to be your franchise's card, it can be any cards in the set representing those players.

Beyond this requirement, you can use any player who played for your franchise at any point during your era. And just like the rule above, you can use any card in the set representing that player. For example, a player who played for the Yankees both before and after ‘46/‘47 could potentially be on either a pre or post Yankee team, and in either instance any card in the set representing that player is fair game.

From opening night on, you must carry a minimum of 26 players on your roster. Why? Because scrubs are people too. And you have that extra $5MM to work with...

You will generally have 100% exclusive rights to all players who played for your franchise your year. Only situation where you might not...if your player also played for another selected franchise/season. In this case rights go to the team/season for which he is carded, and if carded for both, he goes to the team/season for which his card has either the highest plate appearances (AB+BB) or highest IP.

Trades are permitted as long as all teams involved have exclusive rights to the players they're dealing away. For instance, if you want to blow up your historic Yankees squad to see Mike Trout in pinstripes batting ahead of Lou Gehrig, and your counterpart wants Babe Ruth, you both go right ahead.

If one of you 4 from the Eastern Division has your team ready and you wold like to create the league, please have at it. Just take a good look at the refresher directly above for league parameters. Best to create it as a private league and make a simple pw, then post it on this thread. Thanks!!!

If we fill Friday before the cutoff, that will give us till Sunday for waivers and Monday to button up for the start.
