All-time Great Player Set and General Overview

My friends and I have been playing for years the Back to the 80 and Back to the 90s. We are familiar with an 80 million salary cap and the Mystery Card twist.

We want to experiment with the all-time greats player sets. How does that exactly work? How does a draft work?

If I want Ted Williams 1941 does that mean other players in the league can get another Ted Williams card from a different year at a different cost?

Do you work with a 100 million budget?

Any assistance or general overview you can provide would be appreciated.

Only one card represents a player at one time, so no double Ted's roaming around. Also, if you use the Babe Ruth pitching card, his hitting cards are out.

You can play any a cap of any size with ATG. The player pool can handle a 200m or an unlimited cap, or play with a smaller cap like 60m.

Thanks for the information.

If you do a traditional draft (auto where you prerank) and someone chooses in first round Babe Ruth hitting card and I happened to want Babe Ruth pitching card, does that mean the other player gets the hitting card and then the computer will pick the next best option for me in the second round?

Also, what would be the default setting for ATG? 100 Mill?

One more question (and I appreciate your feedback), if I want Ted Williams 1941 and someone else wants Ted Williams from a different year, and both of us want him as a first round pick, Strato will randomly assign one of the Teds to us, pick up a similar hitter for the guy who lost out, and ALL Ted Williams cards are off the market. Is my understanding correct?

Regarding the draft, Yes that is correct.

Regarding the cap, I think 80m is the default, but I would guess 100m may be the most played cap. And there are caps all over the spectrum.

I don't play Mystery Sets, so if some of the guys who play both ATG and Mystery Sets would weigh in on comparisons/differences, that would be helpful.

All the info you seek is in the game rules.

In the autodraft, if two players rank the same player #1 then a random decision is made on which of the two (or three or four if more people in the league rank him #1) - the loser of the random decision will get the next highest priced player that is not on another team's draft card at that players primary position.

Losers of random decisions are then MORE LIKELY to win the NEXT TIE (if any)

If two players pick the same player, then the one who ranks the player HIGHER on their draft list will get him.

In your last paragraph, you are correct on all of that.
