EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2009 As promised, it is time to get this thing off the ground. Here are some specifics. -The goal is to build a 25 man roster. You can assemble any type of team you like, there is no specific requirement on number of pitchers, catchers, etc. The only rule is that you need to field a nine man lineup. -All reasonable players are allowed. This includes major leaguers, minor leaguers, negro league players, and international players of renown. -We are going in a straight draft order, with rounds taking place on weekdays Monday through Friday. Saturdays and Sundays will be rest days. You can make your pick at any time after your chosen time. -I am personally going to draft at the END of every round. -I am going to start a separate draft thread for non-players. 4am: Fokai 7am: Gert T 9am: Agent of Oblivion 9:30am: Bored 11am: Youth N Asia 11:30: Original Orange Goblin 12pm: Pinjockey 1pm: 909 3pm: Smartley Pretty 4pm: Smues 4:30: Brother Mouzone 6:30pm: Brooklyn Zoo 8pm: JHawk 8:30: Treble 9pm: HarleyQuinn 11pm: Beast 11:30: MFer First round will kick off tomorrow (Friday) with Gert T making the first selection. Now if anyone else wants to join in, they have until Sunday to do so. They will receive a late first round pick but will proceed normally through the remainer of the draft. If you wish to join, please select an available time slot. You will need to wait until Saturday/Sunday to make your first selection however. Feel free to ask any questions. Let's hope this runs smoothly.

And I generally intend to make my picks the following morning unless I'm up late. You can make your pick tonight, though Youth n Asia has the right to claim a player before that. Fantastic to see no missed picks thus far. I'll update the first post with results at the conclusion of each round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
