PLAYER SETS: Since there is no easy way to randomize the player pool (anymore), we will generate our player pool as follows:
1: All players
2: 1901+
3: All players through Pre (includes NeL)
4: All players post and after
5: Expansion Teams only
6: The team with the worst record from previous season chooses the player set (tie breaker=head-to-head, then “coin flp” [random numbers])
So it appears from the rules that we will be using the card set of "all players" in the ATG set for purposes of being able to use our two keepers (if we used any other set as the "base" set Main Line Expos would be unable to use one of his keepers, Hughie Jeniings), but that the rest of the team must be selected from the subset being used for each league, in the present case being Post WWII and beyond, with non-keeper NeL players being eligible only for prewar and earlier. Is this correct?
Correct. I had forgotten about Jennings, so we have to use the All Players by default, then select other players based on the random subset. I wish it was like the last iteration, where we’d always have a random draft pool, but you can have that as a selection any more unfortunately.
