Here’s what we’re doing…

Pretty simple: All of the modern American League franchises (1903 through 2013) will be listed. When it's your turn to select a team, pick a franchise and then pick a 10-year span of that franchise and build your roster. Ten years may look like 1977-1986 or 1999-2008 or anything similar. It can’t look like 1940-1950 as that would be “11” years.

Also, if you want to choose a franchise that played both in the N.L. and the A.L., at least five if not more of the seasons you want to play with had to have been in the American League.

Plus, just to make it a bit more interesting to build your rosters, let’s make sure there’s at least one pitcher and one position player from each of your ten years. That’s twenty players – the other five can come from any of the ten years you’re building with. There will be no IP and PA requirements in this round.
 

Obviously, more than one individual can choose the same franchise, but their years cannot overlap at all. If someone wants the 2004-2013 Red Sox and someone wants the 1994-2003 Red Sox, that’s fine.
 
 
Alignment will be in conjunction with the Draft Order. The first four selections in each league will make up the N.L. East, the next four selections will make up the N.L. Central, and so on.
 
 
Here are some other items of interest:
 
NO: Waiver Wire, Trades or A.A.A.
NO: Designated Hitter.
NO: Clones.
NO: Injuries – They’ll be Turned Off.
 
You may use either full or partial players seasons in this round.
 
CAP – $110M
 
Stadium – You must use a park that your franchise called home during your team’s time-span.
 

Who Moves On?
 
Once Round FIVE is complete, the eight playoff teams from the two leagues will automatically earn a spot in the Final Round – Round Six of the tournament. That’s sixteen spots spoken for. The final eight teams will come from the best of the other 32 teams across the two leagues. Again, this will give everyone something to keep playing for, even if your team isn’t very competitive in your division or for the wildcard.

good teams going fast especially with no overlap. the gap between picks of same teams essentially eliminates many seasons. Fo example-01 -08 CWS and 29-33 NYY
