OOTP 20 Challenge - Draft Underway in Dynasty Thread

[EagleFan]

I have a copy of Kingdom Come: Deliverance up as a prize for an OOTP 20 league challenge.

I'm going to top the league off at 16 teams (if we get that many interested).

Will only run it if we get at least 10. If not at least that number I'll come up with another contest.


The rules:
- Abbreviated season (2 games against each team in the league; 1 home and 1 away).
- 2 games per week of game time (A Friday game and a Sunday game - game time)
- 18 player rosters; DH will be used
- Players can be drafted from any season, ever. But, once a player is drafted that player cannot be drafted by another player. (Example: If 1980 Mike Schmidt is drafted, no other season of his can be used)
- Max of 1 player from each MLB team on a team in the league (example: If you drafted 1980 Mike Schmidt you cannot draft another Phillies' player)
- There will be conversion penalties for players with minimal time during the selected season (in other words, don't draft someone who hit .390 in a whopping 10 games, they won't be a star)
- The top 2 teams will play a best of 3 series with every game being at the #1 seed's stadium
- No trading, just pick your best 18 players for this league, set your lineups and let the game do the rest.
- The draft will be an 18 round snake draft with the original order determined by a random draw.
- Sim schedule and other rules will be posted as interest is determined

[jbergey22]

Sounds fun. Ill do it!

[EagleFan]

Awesome, welcome. Will keep pushing this to try to get up to 10.

[bhlloy]

Yeah, this sounds like a cool idea. Count me in.

[EagleFan]

Also welcome.

[EagleFan]

For anyone that either has or doesn't want the game but may be interested in the concept of the "league" if you win you'll get the choice of getting the key to give to someone or just passing, in which case the next person in the standings will get the option.

[spleen1015]

I'll join since RL just got quiet for the next 2 months.

[Breeze]

So do I need OOTP20 myself, or do I just draft a team and give the lineups, etc?

[EagleFan]

Just draft and give lineups.

[EagleFan]

Welcome spleen, and Breeze if my answer was what you were hoping for.

[yeah826]

I'll play

[EagleFan]

Welcome. Since 2010, have you changed your name or mostly been a lurker/reader?

[cmgdodgers]

Sounds pretty fun, I’m in.

[DavidCorperial]

I'll join in as well

[Breeze]

[EagleFan]

Welcome times 3.

Lurker mostly usually in the past I would post in game/sports related threads I have a dynasty report I got going on that I need to update

[Vince, Pt. II]

I'm in!

[EagleFan]

Welcome

[tarcone]

Since I dont need to own the game, Im in.

Will you post box scores or high lights for those who dont own the game?

[EagleFan]

I'm still trying to come up with the best way to post but I want to post as much as possible for the results.

[EagleFan]

oh, and welcome

[EagleFan]

One more to guarantee it getting off the ground. Then we'll wait another day or so to see if we get more.

[EagleFan]

For those who have joined, you can let me know the following:

City Name
Team Name
If you have a logo feel free to post or PM it to me.

[yeah826]

City Name: Baltimore
Team Name: Steamers

[Breeze]

City Name: Tallahassee
Team Name: Federals

[EagleFan]

One more spot to guarantee this gets off the ground.

[tarcone]

City Name: Big Inning

Team Name: Corn Kings

[Breeze]

With teams that moved (especially ones that may have moved a few times and changed names in the process), do we need to know the entire franchise line to determine what players will be unavailable after a pick?

Also, with limited games a week, any restrictions on how often a pitcher can start?

[jbergey22]

Canton Raiders

[bhlloy]

City Name: San Fernando
Team Name: Dragons

[spleen1015]

Indianapolis Clowns

[EagleFan]

Looking for one more team.

Looking to have it so it will be a 2 man rotation. May actually make the games Friday/Sunday (in game days).

[Vince, Pt. II]

City: Willow Glen
Team Name: Wreckers

For the obvious ones we'll limit it to franchise. (Dodgers, Giants, Braves)

Aiming for a 2 man rotation. Going to make it a "weekend" league with Friday/Sunday games.

[EagleFan]

If we don't get a 10th and if it is okay with everyone else in the league I'll take the 10th team. If so I'll follow the same rules as everyone else with no input during the sims (only lineup changes during the same open periods as everyone else).

Additionally, my standing wouldn't count towards the prize standing. If there is a way to remove myself from the playoffs manually I will do so. If not I will run a 3 game playoff manually with the top 2 teams other than my team.

Ok by me

[EagleFan]

If everyone is okay with that we can start the draft on Monday.

[EagleFan]

I'll put my team as tentative on the teams list.

[EagleFan]

Added a clarification that DH will be used.

[EagleFan]

The thread in Dynasty section that will be used.

OOTP 20 Challenge - Front Office Football Central

[EagleFan]

That's weird. When pasting the thread into the new post it picked up the name of the thread from the Dynasty section. When I edited the first post in this thread and copied the exact same way it only shows the thread address in the post.

[tarcone]

Will we draft in this thread or in the dynasty section?

And you will take picks via pm to keep things going if need be, correct?

[EagleFan]

Will move the draft to the dynasty thread. Yeah, picks can be PM's to keep things moving.

[EagleFan]

Going to start up the draft. The Tennessee Federals are on the clock in the Dynasty thread.
