FINAL RULES 1941-2011_DRAFT

Post by Gekko » Thu Nov 17, 2011 3:00 pm

1941 – 2011 All Time Draft:



You can draft any player who played in the AL or NL starting from 1941 to present. We are using a 20 game minimum in season for the batting positions.



When you are on the clock and select a player, you need to post the players name AND the year you are selecting him for. Once that player is selected, he is removed from the player pool (even if he qualifies at another position). So if you select Jeremy Hellickson 2011, no one else can select Hellickson.



If a player you select qualifies at multiple positions FOR THE YEAR YOU SELECTED, you can move them around during the draft until you fill your roster.



This is a standard 15 team Roto league. Each team will be drafting 23 players [14 hitters – 2 C, 1 1B, 1 2B, 1 3B, 1 SS, 1 CO (1st or 3rd), 1 MI (2nd or SS), 5 OF, and 1 utility (any batter) and 9 pitchers (1500 innings minimum and 2 required RP’s)].



There are 10 categories – five hitting (BA, R, HR, RBI, and SB) and five pitching (W, ERA, WHIP, K’s, and SV’s). Each team will be ranked in each category from 1st to last. The top team will receive 15 points and the lowest will receive 1 point. Teams will split points if they are tied in a category. BA, ERA and whip will go to the furthest decimal point to break ties.



We will be using Baseball-Reference.com for our stats. Their stats, right or wrong, will be our guideline.



The league will have running standings with the exception of rounds 5, 10, 16, and 23. In those rounds, owners will email a neutral party (Dan Kenyon) the player and year they’d like to select. If the player has already been drafted, the owner will need to select another player until he finds one that hasn’t been selected.



This is a slow draft with a 24 hour clock. If a team is timed out, it will go to the next pick. After that player makes his pick, it will go back to the previous team and he will have two hours to make his pick. Since we are getting close to the time people start prepping for official NFBC events, PLEASE be considerate to your league mates and pick as soon as possible. We should try to get through AT LEAST 1 round a day (hopefully closer to 2 rounds a day). In an effort to keep the draft going, I will try to text/email owners when they are on the clock.



Entry Fee: $125 (The owner who handles the spreadsheet and posting the standings after each round will play for free)



Payouts (assuming 15 teams):

1st: Free entry to 2012 Main Event ($1,400)

2nd: $350 in 2012 NFBC credits



This league will use KDS and 3RR.



MISC:

If a team fails to get 1,500 innings, the team will receive one point for all pitching categories.



Teams must have at least two relief pitchers. A relief pitcher needs to have 30 relief appearance to qualify (games – starts = relief appearances).



If an owner drafts a player and the player has pitching and hitting stats, he will only get the stats for the position he decides to use him at. A hitter will receive no pitching stats and a pitcher will receive no hitting stats.



If an owner selects a player for which there is not a legal roster spot remaining, the owner must select another player. If other players were selected in the meantime, those players cannot be considered by the owner in question.



3RR stands for 3rd Round Reversal, which allows the bottom of the draft order to begin Round 3 after also starting Round 2. It's one way to balance the talent in a 15-team league. Here’s how the rounds would look with 3RR and blind bids…



Round 1: 1-15

Round 2: 15-1

Round 3: 15-1

Round 4: 1-15

Round 5: 15-1 (Blind Round, player and year need to be emailed to Dan Kenyon)

Round 6: 1-15

Round 7: 15-1

Round 8: 1-15

Round 9: 15-1

Round 10: 1-15 (Blind Round, player and year need to be emailed to Dan Kenyon)

Round 11: 15-1

Round 12: 1-15

Round 13: 15-1

Round 14: 1-15

Round 15: 15-1

Round 16: 1-15 (Blind Round, player and year need to be emailed to Dan Kenyon)

Round 17: 15-1

Round 18: 1-15

Round 19: 15-1

Round 20: 1-15

Round 21: 15-1

Round 22: 1-15

Round 23: 15-1 (Blind Round, player and year need to be emailed to Dan Kenyon)



PS - Please mail your checks ASAP.



PSS – Send Greg your KDS by 10am EST tomorrow. Hopefully draft slots can be announced soon after that! The draft can begin anytime after draft slots are announced. Good luck!



PSS - If anyone would like to curse me (or thank me), have at it!



LET'S GET IT ON!!!! :cool:

Doughy - I emailed Pete and let him know to run his picks through you. If it's okay with you, can I email him your email address?



THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP WITH PETE AND THE BLIND ROUNDS. I owe you one.

Thanks, Dan Someone email me or post a list of owner names here. I don't have all 15 names and right now I have only 12 KDS preferences. So I don't even know the three guys who I'm missing. Thanks.

I also did not send in any KDS, fine w/ 1-15.



Not sure when this thing is starting, but I'd like to let everyone know that I have abit of a different schedule than most. I work Thurs-Sun (two 8's & two 12's). Sat & Sun begin at 5:30 am and end at (usually 8 pm). I work at a hospital and ya just never know what you're going to get on a daily basis.



Thankfully I DO have access to NFBC boards at work (I'm a longtime reader of the Doughboys Chronicles ;) ) . Normally I'm a pretty fast drafter, but I've never done anything like this before.



Anyway, just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I will do my best to keep this thing rolling.



Thanks,



rockit aka Dave
