That’s always been the case for 20xx. I know it’s different in ATG.

We do really need some comments and further discussion on what to do regarding this rules thing.

This is from the specific forum titled
2021Players Championship Rules

The Semis is listed as having a 3 round non-serpentine player draft with an unique BP also chosen in the 3rd round -However the BP choice can be deferred (so the higher seed can chose last if desired).



Playoffs

Semi-Finals
Top 36 Managers play in three leagues of 12
(All 12 playoff qualifiers advance to Tour Champions League)
Start Date: Around November 15
Salary Cap: $80,000,000 (standard)
DH Rule: Yes (standard)
Free Agent Drop Penalty: 5/10/20

There will be a three round non-serpentine draft. Round 3 will be a player and also a unique ballpark to be done on the forum boards. Players will have the option in Round 3 to defer their ballpark pick if anyone feels there is an advantage to picking last so in essence the top seed could be last to select a ballpark, 2nd could be last or just before(depending on whether top seed waited etc The draft order will be the order of finish in tour points. Since each semi-finalist will have already used five different ballparks in Events I-V, they may not re-use those ballparks in the semi-finals. So, if a manager is picking 12th for the live ballpark draft in the semi-finals, he will have to choose from one of the 14 remaining ballparks (30 minus 5, minus 11 ballparks already drafted in that semi-final event).

Champions League
The 12 Semi-Finals playoffs qualifiers in a single 12-team league
Start Date Early February
Salary Cap: $80,000,000 (standard)
DH Rule: Yes (standard)
Free Agent Drop Penalty: 5/10/20

There will be an three round live draft for the Tour Championship, same as the SemiFinals, to be done on the forum boards. The draft will NOT be serpentine for the finals - i.e., the draft order will be repeated in each round. These "seeding" rules for the draft order provide an incentive and a reward for the managers who finish with the highest scores in Events I-V.

Reference is made to the slight change in the point system, adding points accumulated in the semi-finals round to the manager's points total from the qualifying rounds. This will effect the final overall standings, impacting the order of picks in the live draft for the Champions League.

Here are the decisions:

We will run both the semifinals and finals with three rounds. Third round being both a player and a stadium

The stadium violation penalty applies to the team that violated. In this case it works out to have no effect. That is how Barnstormers does it as well. I realize the rule is no as clear as it should be. I also realize there are valid arguments for doing it differently.

More to come later. Just got home from work and getting my daughter home from college. Once I get done with dinner will add more.

Okay, now that that's out of the way...

Can I offer up the last pick of the 2nd round to someone chomping at the bit for a particular stadium in exchange for their 3rd rounder + a player to be named? 8-)
