Non Applicable Notes from previous seasons:
N/A - Players will be from a single franchise club.
N/A - Players can NOT be drafted but once per owner, but CAN be drafted by multiple owners.
N/A - Owners to draft from any season. Owners may select the same exact seasons. Research top teams and/or top players statistically to choose seasons for the draft.
N/A - The commissioner will then import the chosen teams/seasons for owners to select players as a free agent draft.
N/A - Owners Draft from a list of players as available from 5 seasons: 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, and 2000. This should provide a good list of star players for all teams to have competitive balance.
N/A - All teams will select and rank a list of free agent players from 1900-2023 (draft order below) to be drafted one round at a time when the draft starts. Draft rounds will take place 4 times per day at 8am-2pm-6pm and 8pm or close to that schedule as possible.
