Starting a new series of 2 Franchise Mystery Leagues starting in the 70's and going through the 2000's. Established group of managers who have been playing together for several years. We have 3 openings we need to fill to get the first league going. Below are the rules. If you're interested or have any questions please let me know.
That 70’s Show Franchise Mystery Card League Rules
- Player set – The 70s Game mystery card set. If things work out with the league, I would like to continue into the 80s and possibly 90s with the possibility of keeping one of your franchises.
- Salary Cap $100M
- DH, Waivers – Yes (Only for players eligible for your team)
- Teams 12
o I compiled the number of wins for all 24 teams in the 70’s (not counting Seattle and Toronto) and ranked them in the NL & the AL. Each team will have the rights to one NL franchise and one AL franchise. There will be a random snake draft to pick franchises. If you pick an NL team with your first pick you have to pick an AL team with your 2nd pick and vice versa.
AL NL
Orioles – 944 wins Reds – 953 wins
Red Sox – 895 wins Pirates – 916 wins
Yankees – 892 wins Dodgers – 910 wins
Royals – 851 wins Phillies – 812 wins
Athletics – 838 wins Cardinals – 800 wins
Twins – 812 wins Giants – 794 wins
Tigers – 789 wins Astros – 793 wins
Angels – 781 wins Cubs - 785
White Sox – 752 wins Mets – 763 wins
Senators/Rangers – 747 wins Expos – 748 wins
Brewers – 738 wins Braves – 725 wins
Indians – 737 wins Padres – 667 wins
- Players – Every player on your roster must have at least 1 year carded out of their 5 mystery cards to one of your two franchises. Players who have all 5 years with one or both of your franchises are exclusive to your team and no other team can draft or pick them up. I have a spreadsheet that lists which team every player is eligible for that I can send out to owners to avoid confusion.
- Ballparks – please pick one of your 2 ballparks associated with your franchises, your choice.
- Draft – draft order will be random. Please set up your draft with only players that are eligible to play on your team. Since most players are eligible for multiple teams you will not get everyone on your draft list so craft your list strategically. It is recommended to put your exclusive players at the bottom of the priority list but don’t leave them off or the auto-draft could award them to someone else. When the draft is over please release any player that does not have eligibility on your team so the appropriate team can pick them up if desired.
- Trades are allowed but all players involved must be eligible to play for the team they are being traded to.
- There will be a waiver draft after the auto-draft but you may only pick up players eligible for your team. Free agent moves after waivers are allowed throughout the season, as long as you only pick up players eligible for your team.
