Looks like we can finally get going with the offseason!
I'll repost the rules I posted on the last page. Org and I are still open to recommended alterations.
- Owners get two weeks to state whether or not they'll be participating in the dispersal draft.
- All assets (MLB players, prospects, MiLB picks, waiver picks) belonging to teams participating in the dispersal draft will be available in the draft. The draft will continue until all assets have been selected, or until all teams have declined to select from the pool of remaining assets. A team that declines to pick has made the decision to forfeit all remaining picks in the draft.
- The draft order will be determined randomly, and the draft will snake. Windows will be 12-hours long. If a window expires the next manager in line can pick, and the manager whose window was skipped can pick ASAP. If the draft comes back to an owner whose last window expired, they will be given a new 12-hour window. Commissioners reserve the right to delay the draft indefinitely if they believe a missed window will significantly skew the distribution of talent.
- Teams owning dispersal draft picks will be permitted to trade picks to any team in the league after the deadline for declaring for the draft. Picks will also be tradable mid-draft, but trades must be completed within 1 hour of a window’s start. Trades will be processed manually by commissioners.
Proposed Dates
11:59 PM Sunday, January 13th for the other 17 teams to declare whether or not they're participating in the dispersal draft.
9:00 AM Sunday, January 20th for the start of the draft
I'd like to hear a decision from all 17 returning owners on whether or not they're participating.
