Say Hey Kid
Under the Sign of the Black Mark
Founders: Wrigley, Tecumseh, Vegeta, td_ice
Draft Order: Random
The Playoffs: Standard
We are pleased to present the Major League Draft - Baseball Edition.
Rules = You can trade players, but you can not trade picks. The seedings will be invisible.
1. NEVER mention an undrafted player. It is poor etiquette. If quoting a source about a player you’re drafting, simply substitute the undrafted player with XXXX XXXX.
2. The time windows will be tight but reasonable.
10 hour clock for rounds 1-6,
then 8 hour clock for rounds 7-26
If you are not sure whether you will be available to make your pick within the allotted time, please send a list of players to someone who will be there for that time. This way the draft can progress nicely.
3. You MUST send a private message to the next GM to alert them that it is their turn. This is mandatory and it is crucial to the draft going smoothly. You should also change your board preferences so that you receive an email when you receive a PM. Many have found that this ensures that when it's your turn, you know as soon as possible.
4. Please be advised that it is MANDATORY to vote if you expect to participate in the next All-Time Draft. Put some effort into it. It's only fair that the best team wins. You can make your votes based on whatever criteria are important to you, but we are all expected to have an open mind and listen to the arguments for why each roster is better.
5. The draft is 26 rounds long. Each team will make 26 picks with one player at each position and one manager alongside extra bench players.
6. You can trade players, but you can not trade picks. You can trade a player you've already drafted. Trading conversations are always held via PM, but you may announce that you are shopping a pick or looking to move up/down to get the attention of other GMs. You must always trade one asset for another asset. (or 2 for 2, or 3 for 3, etc) (no 2-for-1 or 3-for-2 deals or else you wouldn't end up with 26 picks)
7. When making a pick, you should be posting at least three lines about the player. This can be in your own words or copied and pasted from a cited source. This is done for a couple of reasons: 1) To prove that you know something about him/have researched him. 2) To show the other GMs why this is a good pick.
8. DO NOT MENTION UNDRAFTED PLAYERS.
Co-Gm's are allowed and encouraged if you don't have as much knowledge of baseball. No more than 2 GM's to a team though.
A manager who also played as a player, must only be selected as one or the other. This means certain athletes could be selected twice in this draft by either the same or a different team in such cases.
If you select a player who played most of his career at 1B but played for 2 years at LF, and you choose to play him at left field, you can draft him at LF, however this will downgrade the player's ability. It's a risk that you can make but you have a better chance of winning if you have everyone at their natural position.
You will need to have at least 1 Manager, 1 C, 1 1B, 1 2B, 1 3B, 1 SS, 1 LF, 1 CF, 1 RF, 5 SP, 3 RP including 1 closer. And again like the position players, if you move a reliever to a starter or vice versa, then that will affect how effective your player will be. NO DH
FOR PLAYOFFS IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED THAT VOTING IS DONE REGULARLY and if you want to stay for another Baseball ATD then it is a good idea to vote because it will give us the mindset that you care about the draft and not just your team."
