Rules for Draft

1) Each owner will have 12 hours to make his pick.

2) The 12-hour draft clock runs continuously, night and day.

3) If an owner surpasses the 12-hour time limit, the next owner may pick, and so on. An owner who surpasses the 12-hour time limit may make his missed pick at any time thereafter.

4) An owner who exceeds the 12-hour time limit twice during the draft without reasonable cause can be skipped indefinitely and/or replaced.

5) No trades of players and/or picks are allowed during the draft.

6) Each owner must draft a complete starting lineup (pitchers and hitters) before drafting his bench players. Rule 3 applies to any pick which results in the violation of this Rule 5, and the illegally drafted player remains undrafted until he is drafted legally.

NOTE: If you want to know if a player is eligible at a specific position, go to our Yahoo league page and click "players".

7) Drafting a player not in Yahoo's database is perfectly LEGAL. Any drafted player not in Yahoo's database is "protected" by the owner who drafted him and remains off limits to other owners UNLESS the owner fills the protected player's reserved roster spot AT ANY TIME before officially adding the player to his roster. An owner must keep a vacant roster spot for the drafted player until he becomes available. Only a BENCH slot or a STARTING POSITION slot count as a vacant roster spot. A DL slot does not count as a vacant roster spot. Filling the reserved roster spot results in the forfeiture of said player and he is free game once he appears in the player pool.

Once a protected player becomes available, it is the owner's responsibility to add the player to his team once he clears waivers. However, the commissioner will make his best effort to add a protected player to its rightful owner before he clears waivers if the commissioner is notified. To make sure another owner does not put in a waiver claim for your player, I suggest leaving a message on the league page that he belongs to you.

A list of the "protected" players will be posted here (draft home) and on our Yahoo page for easy reference.

8] All owners are encouraged to make their best effort to keep the rest of the league apprised of their availability. For example, if there is a chance you won't be able to check in before your turn comes up, please tell us so we can coordinate our schedules.

For 2009

- League Name: I will always hate Bavasi, but seeing as he is no longer the Mariners GM I am open to a name change for our league. Suggestions are welcome.

- Championship Trophy: Since everyone in the league is a Tank member, I propose a traveling championship trophy icon for the defending owner to display in his sig with pride. Something small but sexy. Remember those little gold cup icons on the 1987 Topps rookie cards? I’m picturing something like that, similar to the holy grail from the Monty Python movie. As soon as we find/make one, it will be Dingo’s until a new champion is crowned.

- Rule Changes: With several seasons in the books and no complaints, I’m guessing our rules/parameters are airtight, but if anyone has any requests or suggestions, feel free to share. We did have the issue of a dead owner last season but I think we handled it well. I can write the steps we took to remedy that situation into the rules.

_________________

Count me in again, Choo. I am out to prove that last season was a complete fluke.


And let me know what you find for the trophy icons. I have been looking for something for Stealing Home, but am not creative or computer saavy enough to accomplish anything.

2011 House of Purgatory Champion - #1 in points, #2 overall record

I'd love to be considered for that final spot. Laputian can give you details, I've known him personally for years and had my fair share of heartbreak due to his teams throughout the years. Dingo has been in at least one league with me, I would say the most fun league I've ever played in, this past year. Oar and Marty in at least Holmland Football.

Thanks for the invite!

Hey...... I'm a friend of Dingo's he said you might have a spot opening up. It looks like you already filled it with Virro. I've been in leagues with Virro and Dingo. If you have any openings in the future, I'd loved to be considered.

I'll put you on the waiting list, Bo.

Thank You.........Merry Christmas !

For what it's worth, both Virro and Bohican are active, knowledgeable owners.
