30 years in 12 seasons (TriDec) just need durantjerry

For those familiar with the Triple Decade concept this is very similar but somewhat accelerated.

Twelve managers will sign up for a twelve season keeper-style league.
The first season is 1970-72*
The second season is 1973-74
...75-76
...77-79
...80-82
...83-84
...85-86
...87-89
...90-92
...93-94
...95-96
...97-99
*the 70-72 season will be played with no DH.

There will be an initial on the boards 16 round draft (lottery to determine snake draft position) where players from the 70's game who have a carded year 1972 or prior will be eligible. The 16th round be reserved for Stadium. Players will be eligible to play in a season if they are active^. A player becomes eligible once their first carded is within or the before the span of the current 'season'. They remain active until their last carded year is no longer within or beyond the current 'season' (e.g. Nolan Ryan is active throughout the 70's and 80's even though he does not have carded year for 75-76 or 80-82 becuase his first carded year is 1969 and his last is 1987). All undrafted eligible players are free agents that may be placed on the intial draft list.

A manager retains the rights to a player from season to season (and decade to decade) so long as that players remains on that managers roster and does not retire. A player retires when they do not have a carded year within or beyond the current span of years within a season. (e.g. Clemente plays the first season and then retires).

Towards the end of each season a draft of newly eligible players for the next season will be held. (e.g. Schmidt will be eligible to be drafted for the second season). The draft order will be determined by the standings following the completion of game 141. The teams with the worst 4 win-loss records (broken by worse run differential then runs scored) will have a lottery to determine the first 4 spots with picks 5-12 done by record. Draft position will be retained in each round (i.e. the team that wins the lottery will have first pick in each round). There will be up to 4 rounds of drafting between seasons within a decade (the fourth round at the discretion of the commissioner and would be limited to a maximum of 24 hours). The draft preceding the first 80's and 90's years will be up to 6 rounds (the sixth on a timed basis).

Players may be traded and future draft picks can be included so long as SOM roster rules are adhered to.

# At this point I have not done a thorough analysis of the options by position for each 'season' but experience tells me there is more than enough players eligible at each position for each manager to fulfil roster requirements (i.e. there are 67 catchers in the 70's game and I presume at least 24 of them are active for each 'season', but only if there is a shortage a manager may use an otherwise ineligible $0.75 as a single season free-agent signing to fulfil roster requirements).
Otherwise $0.75 players are only eigible and may be retained in the same manner as other players (unlike the rules for those familiar with the original triple decade league).

An eligible player who is dropped during the year or is left off a draft roster will be available to another team as a free agent as per regular SOM procedures.
Players 'mistakenly' left off new season rosters will be at the mercy of the new owner. The commissioner will not intervene. Players owned by another manager, 'mistakenly' put on the draft card of another manager will be returned to the original proper owner asap. Honour system is in force, but the commissioner reserves rights to punish 'extended' or 'repeat' mistakes. Owners playing ineligble players will need to drop the ineligible players immediately. The commissioner reserves the right to impose a penalty. Honest mistakes will be made and so long as managers are reasonably active these will be picked up and corrected fairly quickly and without harm.

Division assignments will be retained throughout the TriDec to foster rivalry (lottery to determine).
Stadia will be unique and can be retained from season to season and decade to decade if available.
A stadium may be changed between seasons to an unused stadium but a draft choice must be used to do so (or a stadium change could be included in a trade).

Managers are reminded this is a twelve season committment and should not enter without the intention to see it through until the end.

do you have a good spreadsheet to sort the players by?

There are spreadsheets available which detail players first and last years.

Looks like fun and a great format with the draft evening things up from season to season.

Put in a state for pick 3 lottery so we can determine the draft order for the initial snake draft, lowest will pick first, date to be determined when all spots are filled.
