Merger/Draft Information

Post by Admin »

I apologize for the delay; we've had a very intent annoyance trying to break through our security in the past few days. He hasn't succeeded but it has kept me tied up making sure things stay secure.

Both leagues must draft with their full compliment of teams before the merge can proceed. This will cause the players drafted by the departing teams to disappear. This is intentional.

The "Unowned" player will be assigned to all departing teams to allow the leagues to start and proceed to the draft. My intention is to allow the draft to run Wednesday, so if you have not already done so, please take a moment to check your draft settings.

Once the draft has run, the actual merge will start. Please do not make any trades until everything is in place. You will see a team appear in your list for the Nettles Ruth League (you can choose a new name if you prefer). that league may appear as a trial league for a period of time; this is normal.

The new league will start in 1970. The players you currently have (including your new draftees) will be copied to the new league. As these are copies, they will not have any history behind them.

Your stadiums and strategies can't automatically be moved to the new league, so please be ready to set these up once you are in place.

One other note: Due to a quirk in the process, all players will be eligible for Rookie of the Year in 1970. This will go back to normal in future seasons.

I'll do my best to make the process as smooth as possible, but as it requires a lot of manual work that is susceptible to typos, there could be a few bumpy moments. Thank you in advance for your patience.

Available AL cities:
BAL
ANA
TEX
TB
SEA
DET

Crazy...I had not checked this league board since the weekend, so I didn't know things were moving forward and didn't rank the draft class. :x

Yeah, but I didn't know what was going to happen to the league. I didn't even think about ranking the draft class before knowing that everything was a go.

If we have 17 owners, I am open to dropping out so that this could be a regular 16 team league with no openings.
