Merry Christmas all.


80’s Keeper Rules:
Each manager will protect three players to carry over for next season. The manager selects any three players from his final roster. As soon as each manager announces his protected players, a 1-round supplemental draft is conducted. Any non-protected player is eligible to be selected in the supplemental draft. (Rules for determining the order will be posted separately.) The draft is started during the playoffs; however, it won’t be completed until the season is over since the draft order is affected by playoff results. (Playoff teams have picks 9-12.).

Note: Your four drafted players should be placed last on your auto-draft card.
$80 million
DH = Yes
5/10/20
waivers = yes
standard
These rules cover what happens at the end of each season.

Eastern Division will be made up of the four lowest finishing teams.
Central Division gets the teams with the next four best records.
West Division gets the 4 playoff teams.

The supplemental draft – lowest to highest win-loss records for the first eight places. Playoff teams automatically draft 9-12 as follows:
9. first-round loser with worst regular season record
10. first-round loser with best regular season record
11. finals loser
12. league champions

All ties resolved based on regular season (tie break "winner" picks last):
1. head-to-head
2. run differential
3. coin flip

Just to clarify: In the supplemental draft, the first eight picks are made by non-playoff teams.

STADIUMS: Non-playoff teams may pick a new, unique stadium with their pick. If they do, can still pick a player, but their player gets picked after all other teams pick theirs.

Playoff teams may not change stadiums... UNLESS… they forfeit their supplemental draft pick. In other words, a playoff team may elect to change stadiums or pick a player with their pick. A new stadium must still be unique.
Managers may trade stadiums between seasons.
Clarification: A manager must use his own supplemental pick to select a stadium.

You can trade your supplemental draft pick for a keeper. However, trades involving supplemental draft pick(s) have to be even so when all is said and done, both managers have four protected players for the autodraft.

A trade involving a supplemental draft pick cannot involve an unprotected player. (A protected player is a keeper or a player already selected in the supplemental draft.)
There are no restrictions trading keepers after the autodraft has been held and the league formed. For the integrity of this league's format, every team shall enter the autodraft every season with exactly four protected players.*

*Exception: If a playoff team picks a stadium with their supplemental draft pick, they shall enter the autodraft with only three protected players.

New managers joining the league do not have to keep the stadium of the team they are taking over. They can pick a new UNIQUE stadium right from the get-go.

The league will have a keepers re-draft after every 5 seasons. (ie season 6, 11,16,21 etc.)
1. We will have a random numbers run to determine the draft order.
2. We will draft 4 rounds snake style. Pick players or if you want pick your stadium in this round...your choice.
3. We will have a 5th round...reverse order pick to complete your draft (4th player or stadium).

Thanks for the refresh, Jimmy! Merry Christmas and happy 2023 to all!
