Draft Spots For $100 Tuesday Mid-Season League

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Fri Jul 08, 2005 3:37 am

Okay, we have officially filled the $100 NFBC Mid-Season League for Tuesday, July 12th starting at 6 p.m. EST. This is a winner-take-all league with the league champion winning a free entry into the 2006 NFBC. Just a reminder, this is a 30-round serpentine draft and you do NOT have to fill your 23 starting spots with your first 23 picks.

Since we also have another draft starting at 6 p.m. EST, we're asking everyone to be prompt into the draft room, although we may start this one a few minutes after 6 p.m. to make sure that STATS has the other draft off and running without any problems. Don't panic if we hold up the start of this one a few minutes on Tuesday.

This team will show up on your list of teams under My Teams and I'll forward all of you instructions on how to load the Java Draft Software, how you can pre-rank the players and more very soon. Good luck everyone and have fun with this. May the best man win!

Here's one more rules clarification for the Mid-Season Leagues that everyone should be aware of. In the NFBC's main event, we allowed you to draft any player from any team, even if they weren't on the 40-man roster. However, in the mid-season league, only players that are in the data base are eligible to be drafted. The list we have are current lists of MLB teams' 40-man roster and some teams actually have less than 40 men on those rosters. You can not draft a Class A guy and ask someone to write in that pick. If he's not in the data base for whatever reason, he can't be picked in the Mid-Season League.

I know that there are some young prospects you'd like to draft and store away until the September callups, but if they're not in the data base then they can't be drafted. Sorry, but we are officially licensed with the MLB and through STATS and only players on 40-man rosters at this time are in the data base and thus eligible to be drafted in this mid-season league.

Is this the drafting order or just a list of the teams

The same listing is shown on the league page, so I think it is the actual draft order.
