Once we have 24 teams, we will have a random sequence generated by someone NOT in the league. This will determine draft order for us.
The draft will proceed in two rounds. When it is your turn to draft, you will have 24 hours to post a selection, or the next owner's time will start. At whatever point you are available to post a pick, you will do so, but the draft will proceed uninterrupted in the meantime.
Round 1 - select a league/decade combination. The list of available teams will be posted. There are two NeL franchises available. And then AL/NL options for the 20's, 30's, 40's, etc. I will post a list of teams along with the draft order to keep us all on the same page.
Round 2 - select an eligible player for your roster. This allows the teams with a later league/decade selection to reserve a talented player for their roster who may otherwise have some eligibility overlap. Example, the 50's AL squad has both Mickey Mantle and Ted Williams options, overlapping with the AL 60's and AL 40's respectively. Use your player reserve pick wisely and strategically (ie, don't take a dude who doesn't have an eligible card for anyone else's team).
Reminder: All RP's priced at 3.00M or less are eligible for ANY TEAM. This exemption ONLY APPLIES TO RP-ONLY players. It is NOT to be used for bench fillers or SP #5's. So, if you are an NeL team, your least expensive SP5 is like 1.22M or something like that (I don't remember off the top of my head).
Again, once the league is filled, a draft order will be generated. You will have 24 hours to post a pick or we will proceed with the draft and you can get caught up as soon as possible. Thank you!
