========================
I am planning on starting a 90s Keeper League once access to our old teams is restored. (I like looking at my old teams as a starting point for my new teams.) The rules will be almost identical to the 70s Keeper League which is on something like it's 19th season.

1. Initial season, you will draft four players using the forum
2. Subsequent seasons, you protect three players and there is a supplemental draft for a fourth
3. Unique stadiums
4. There are no restrictions on your keepers and you can change them from season to season

I will ask for a 4-season commitment. If you really dislike the format or real life intervenes, you are of course free to leave at any time. However, I ask that you at least plan for four seasons.

Keep an eye on this sub-forum if you're interested. It's really a fun format.

so you draft 4 players in the forum, does that mean you draft the rest auto or live? And do you then put the 4 you already "own" at the bottom of the list since no one else can get them anyway?

It does sound interesting, I have ventured into 2 90's teams. Feel I nearly mastered the 80's but 90's is pretty quirky and a much different game.

Do we draft the stadiums as well?

The remaining 21 players are drafted via auto-draft. And, yes you put the four you draft on the forums at the bottom of your draft list.

There are actually five rounds of drafting since you draft a stadium. Draft order will go:
1 through 12
12 through 1
1 through 12
12 through 1
12 through 1

You can draft your stadium in any round, although most (if not all) drafted it in final round in the 70s keeper league I was part of.

I have the complete rules ready to go. I will post them when I'm ready to launch the league. I think the only difference in rules is when the 70s Keeper League was launched, you initially only drafted three players. However, I feel this was a disadvantage for those low in the draft order.

The format is a lot of fun. If anyone in the 70s Keeper League reads this, perhaps they can share their experience. (And of course, anyone in the 70s Keeper League--which is still going on--will be welcome to join this one as well.)

Excitement!
