Live draft franchise league

PostThu Oct 05, 2023 8:36 pm

This is a six team, unlimited cap, carded franchise league using the DH. Ruth, Bonds, Hornsby, Mantle, Foxx, and Gibson are free agents unaffiliated with any franchise. Franchises will be selected in a four round, serpentine, live draft on ILC, with draft order determined by RNG based on the order of sign up. You may auto draft any player that has a card for one of your drafted franchises except the players designated as free agents above. If the player has ANY card for your franchise, you may choose to use ANY card the player has. Beginning at waivers, the six players listed above, players carded to pre-1900 ORPHAN franchises, (Example: Barnes, Sweeney, Hecker, Baldwin, Seward), and players carded to franchises that went unselected in the live draft, will be free agents available to all teams. If a player has cards for both a selected franchise AND qualifies as a free agent, and that player is not taken in the auto draft he is considered a free agent. Example: If the Giants did not draft Keefe in the auto draft, at waivers and beyond, anyone else could claim him because he also has a card from an unused franchise, Troy. Similarly, if you drop a player from your roster and he has qualifies as a free agent, anyone can then claim that player. Trading away a player trades ALL of your rights to that player, so if the player you traded away is released into the free agent pool you may not claim that player back. However if the player has split franchise rights, the team that did not trade away those rights could claim them. Example: If the Yankees traded Gehrig to the Dodgers, and the Dodgers released Gehrig into the FA pool, only the Dodgers could claim him back. However if the Yankees traded Reggie Jackson to the Dodgers, and the Dodgers released him, while the Yankees could not claim him, the A's or the Angles could, in addition to the Dodgers. If you get a player in the auto draft that is not carded to one of your franchises AND is eligible to be a free agent, please try to drop that player as soon as possible and before the waiver draft. If you have more than one such player, please drop the highest priced player and see if you can trade any other(s) to a team that can drop them for you. You may choose any ballpark. Transactions are unlimited in type or in number.

THE DRAFT WILL BEGIN SATURDAY MORNING

We're just drafting on the ILC forum, so there's no set time or time limit with picks. It should go pretty quick once we start with just 24 picks.

I get that but what time does it start? I have to be on the road at some point saturday morning…

Not sure I like the idea of draft order priority by when you sign up…

And lastly, how about limiting rosters to 25 players? Each team will have plenty of choose from and it makes harder to have heavy line ups vs LHP in my opinion…also an interesting decision on pitchers, how many do you carry in that scenario?

Welcome aboard. Just to clarify, draft order isn't based on sign-up. We will use a Random Number Generator for draft position, your sign up position only determines your number for the randomizer. We don't have a set time to start Saturday, just whenever the first team makes their pick.

I created the league in ILC so we're just waiting on a randomizer.
