SPB-100 Draft Filters and Rules

Commisioner Chris Williams has devolped the follwing draft filters for the
upcoming SPB-100 Draft:

During the 1st 8 rounds, each team will select no more than the following:

1 catcher
2 Pitchers (Starters or Relievers)
3 infielders (no more than 1 each 1b, 2b, 3b, or SS)
2 outfielders (but no more than one lf, cf, or rf)

During the next 8 rounds, each team will select the following:
1 infielder (either a 1b, 2b, 3b, or ss, whichever position was not
selected in Rounds 1-8)
1 backup catcher
1 outfielder (lf, cf, or rf, whichever principal position was not selected
in Rds 1-8)
3 (Starters or Relievers)
1 utility infielder (Any IF Position, you must have selected all four
primary IF positions before selecting a 5th IF)
1 utility outfielder (Any OF Position, you must have selected all three
primaryOF positions before selecting a utility OF)

In the remaining rounds (17-26), teams may choose from any of the remaining
available
players.

This will be an email draft and each team will have assigned times to pick each day.  
The draft order and draft times for the first eight rounds (rounds 1-8, Phase 1) 
have been posted on the SPB-100 web site under Inaugural Draft Results (There a drop 
down box that says "Pick a Round."  Only dates and times for rounds 1-8 have been 
announced.

Each team will be given a 2-Hour allotment in which to make their pick.   The 2-Hour 
allotments will remain in place for the first Phase (8 Rounds) of the draft.  When we 
begin Phase II, we will move to 1-Hour allotments.  Phase 1 of the draft will take 
about two weeks.

For example, if the Elkhart Sentinels draft time is at 8am on 9/18, then Lynn would 
have until 10am to make his choice.  If Lynn does not pick within his time block, his 
pick is passed and the team at 10am may choose.  Lynn may still chime in at anytime 
to make his pick, but the team that is on the clock has first dibs on the player if 
there is a conflict.

If your pick is passed, the draft will proceed as if you had picked, so if the team 
after Lynn picks at 10am, the next team at 12pm may pick also, and so-on, and so-on, 
and so-on......

If the team prior to yours has picked, you may make your pick at anytime, so by 
using the example above, if Lynn pick at 8am, then the next team can pick immediately.  
You may not make a pick until the team prior to yours has picked OR their time block 
has passed and yours has begun.

Note:  If your team has not picked at the end of the following days picks at 10pm, 
your team WILL be assigned a player by league officers, so make sure you get those 
picks in...

The bottom line here is to keep things moving.  Since you will know your scheduled 
time to pick, if you know you can’t be available, just send your list to me and 
Chris Williams and one of us will make sure that your pick gets made.



Thanks
