Getting close! Looking forward to starting this one

bcousy57, how about some clarification on the theme. I prefer strict interpretation.

1. Ballparks are not evenly distributed across these year ranges. Do we get a +- number of years from which we can choose our ballpark?

2. For players like Mantle, who has cards in multiple year ranges (in Mantle's case, four). All four managers can compete for him, but, you can only draft and use the year you own?

3. Trades are allowed?

4. These isn't really any conventional free agency apart from competing for players who have multiple, eligible cards?


What am I leaving out?

I asked this on Thursday;

Question--What happens with a guy that has cards in multiple years, is it highest salary owns him or is it up to the chance of the autodraft. Good either way, but an important piece of info to know. For example, Schmidt has cards in 77,80,81 which would be 3 different owners. Do they fight it out for him or does 81 automatically get first dibs on him being that 81 is his highest card.

I prefer a 4 - 6 - 8 - 10 round draft and then we load up for the auto knowing who we have locked up. But, even four rounds is nearly 100 picks and I don't blame anyone who doesn't want to be bothered with that.

What am I leaving out?

1. Pick whatever ballpark you like.
2. Only one iteration of a player can exist in the league. Who gets that player is dependent on draft order and rankings, just like any other Strat draft.
3. If you can figure out a way to make trades that work, go for it, so long as you start and play the full season with only players carded in your year set.
4. Correct, other than the instances of a few managers fighting over a few players, most of your shallow player pool will be easy to adjust in free agency, at least from the standpoint of having less competition for the cards. Theoretically.
5. You didn't ask this, but when we have 24 players, managers are given years, and I set up the league, be sure to set up your draft cards in the standard ATG9 set.

The determining factor is where each manager has Schmidt ranked, and if that's a tie, it would be determined by draft order. So, if it's a guy you HAVE to have, put him high in your draft list and cross your fingers.

I think we are only talking after randomizer runs and everyone gets their seasons and "before the draft".

Anything else would be chaos.

Correct.

thanks for all the clear answers. let's get 6 more and get this thing underway!!!

(Saturday night bump and relisting of latest signup sheet.)
