Dagger #1 can be thrown once you know all 4 teams for your target. It hits ANY player and ANY stadium used by one of those 4 teams.
Only after Dagger #1 is thrown, that person should offer dagger #2 to the thrower.
Only after the team is specified, dagger #2 can hit any player on that team.
Only after all daggers hit, you can post up a final roster for approval. More details on that latter.
Once approved, I will backchannel you the league ID for you to formally add the approved team.
Once all 24 teams are in, I will re-set divisions and make the season start. Guessing that's around a week from now, give or take.

This league structure has run 7 times - welcome to #8. Nearly everything stays the same, except the following changes:
1. We have 24 managers, allowing us to use wild cards this time!
2. Because that means your division has only 3 others, the 2nd dagger (from a team you offer) will come from outside your league. It will be a person from another division picking in the same slot (e.g. 2nd in your division to pick), but I might hand adjust to keep mentors out of divisions with their person and to make sure they have no dagger role either.
3. We are using 16 more teams as a result of 4 more managers (96 not 80), and are adjusting the pool slightly by replacing 1928 with 1988 (taking the total teams available from 110 to 120. That means 80% will be used, but the person picking last will still have 26 options to pick from.

$ 80 million budget, no DH, no AAA.

The league is not a progressive league. It's just a one time shot that can be repeated. The rules are pretty complicated so it's better for the hard core owner. So here are the complicated rules.

Your final roster will be constructed from combining the rosters of four real life teams from a pool of all major league teams that played in 1938, 48, 58, 68, 78 or 88. For instance, you could build your final roster from players from the 1978 Mets, 1968 Dodgers, 1938 A's and 1978 Reds. The rostering is not as simple as that. It is quite restrictive.

Once the season starts you can start a player at any position at which he has a WIS rating for that season. However on your final 25 man roster you must have exactly two players who have a primary position at catcher, 2x 1B, 2x 2B, 2x 3B, 2x shortstops, 5x outfielders and 10x pitchers. You can tell what position a player counts as by rostering in a team, say the 1968 Phillies you see Tony Taylor as a third baseman. That means if he makes your final roster he counts as one of your team's two third basemen. Once the season starts he can start at any position he has a WIS rating. Lucky you. Dick has a WIS rating at 1B and 2B in addition to he 3B primary rating. A guy like that is a very valuable guy in this league.
Exception: Players with UTIL/DH as their primary designation will be treated "as if" they had OF as their primary designation. They can be played as OF for roster and daily purposes. If such a player qualifies in WIS for another position, they will count as OF for roster purposes but may start at other qualifying positions as well.

VERY IMPORTANT! We all have to be looking at the same information to make this league work. When you pick a team, you have to know who you get. Here's the only league approved way to do it. Look at a blank draft center page. See where it says 2015 Anaheim Angels? You can switch that to any team and any year. That's the only officially approved way to see who you get on your team. This is very important because there are two wrong ways to do it and people do it the wrong way every time and they make decisions thinking they have players they don't in fact have. One wrong way to do it is to go to baseball-reference.com and look at the 1968 Phillies. That will give you a different set of players than the approved method. The other wrong way id to go to a blank WIS draft center page and click on a blank SP/RP spot and ask to see the 1968 Phillies hitters. That will give you a wrong group of players also.

Let's do an experiment. Ask WIS to call up the 1968 Phillies the correct way by changing the 2015 Anaheim Angels to the 1968 Phillies. Notice you get 14 hitters. Now let's do it the wrong way. Go to a blank screen, pick an UTIL hitter spot and ask to see the 1968 Phillies batters. Oops. There are 13 of them. If you do this the wrong way you'll think you have super cheap Bobby Wine when you don't. That really sucks! Also, you DO have Doug Clemens & Gary Sutherland but you are not seeing them with the wrong search. Then you'll be frustrated when you finally puzzle your final roster together and I'll tell you it's not a legal roster.. This is very important to get this right as people do it wrong every time.

On your final roster you must have 7 players from one of your four teams, and six from each of the other three. You can't have two versions of the same player on your final roster. For instance if you are using the 1968 Phillies and 1958 Cubs, you can't roster both Tony Taylors. You can use one or none. But a dagger (see below) against either will take out BOTH.

As soon as all owners are signed up you will be randomly assigned a draft order and division. The draft order goes 1-24, 1-24, 24-1, 24-1. Having an early pick in this draft is no particular advantage. Here's how the draft works.

Round One- Once your draft spot comes up you can pick any team from the available teams from 1938, 48, 58, 68, 78, 88. Once you pick a team, no one else can pick that same team. If you pick the 1978 Dodgers, no one else can use the 1978 Dodgers.

Round Two - One of your three division mates will be assigned the task of gifting you your second round team. He should look at your first round pick and find another team which meshes horribly with it. For instance let's say your first round pick was the 1968 Phillies, great pitching but not much hitting. Maybe the 1978 Mets would be a bad match since they have good pitching but again, not much hitting. Maybe an even better match would be the 1948 St Louis Browns who don't have a whole lot of pitching or hitting. They don't have many cheap backups that might help your budget. Anyway, you get the idea, and six of these guys will be on your final roster. Your second round pick will be awarded to you by a division mate who will try to screw you over the best he can.

Round Three - A second owner within your division will be assigned the task of gifting you the third round team that he expects will give you the most grief. The truly bad teams will be gone, but there are usually some terrible matchups.

Round Four - You get to choose your fourth round team that will make as much sense as you can out of the mess you have before you, knowing the dagger rounds are coming next.

First Dagger - The third owner of your division gets to throw two daggers at your roster pool. He will look at your four teams and can throw a dagger at one player removing him from your player pool. Who to dagger? Your only leadoff batter? Your best power hitter? Your only cheap backup 1B? Your only shortstop with over 300 at bats? Your fourth starter who's a bargain at 2.1 million? The only guy who plays four different positions? The possibilities are a puzzle. You might end up daggering someone who he wasn't planning on using anyway. IF your opponent has the 1958 and 1968 Tony Taylors, daggering either kills them both. The second dagger is to remove one of your four stadiums.

Final Dagger - An assigned manager from outside your division gets to throw one final dagger. It doesn't hurt as much as the first one though. You get to name which of your four teams the dagger must hit.

I know this is complicated but we've run it many times over the years and it results in a very enjoyable draft. Prepare to do the research though as you'll pull your hair out trying to analyze your division mates teams before picking another team for them or daggering them I know it's complicated. It's a league for those who like complicated.

Mentors - If someone is new to this league, they are allowed to have a mentor. Those must be declared before the league assignments and must NOT be in their own division. Mentors do NOT make ANY choices for a competitor, but may offer general advice based on past experiences.

I have posted a spreadsheet below which will provide an easy double check for all the legal rosters. Since I have made errors in the past, please tell me ASAP if you find any error on that sheet - the WIS search database will control the dispute if there are any errors, but I will correct any as soon as noticed.
