CLASS – Action – Progressive (CAP)

FOUR year tenure for your drafted players.
EACH DRAFT is helpful – Not the typical 4 to 5 studs, and the quick drop off in talent.
REBUILD isn’t the typical 5 to 6 seasons associated with many progressives.

Utilizes college CLASS system.
(Freshman has 4 years tenure with franchise, Sophomore: TWO years, Junior: 3 years, and Senior: 1 year)
The theme has NOTHING to do with a players Alma Mater -

Each season: Franchise Loses THREE players, and DRAFTS THREE players.
Each franchise will always contain: 3 seniors, 3 Juniors, 3 Sophomores, 3 Freshman –
The Initial FIRST draft will stagger each franchises CLASSES (Subseqent drafts: All Freshmen)

DETAILS:
• DRAFT: Positions TOTALLY RANDOM each season - SNAKE
• INTITIAL DRAFT: (1st rnd.: SENIORS) (2nd rnd.: JUNIORS) (3rd rnd.: SOPHMORES) (4th rnd.: FRESHMAN) (5th rnd. : SENIORS) (6th rnd. : JUNIOR) (7th rnd. :SOPHMORES) (8th rnd. :FRESHMAN) (9th rnd. : SENIORS) (10th rnd. : JUNIORS) (11th rnd. : SOPHMORES) (12th rnd. :FRESHMAN)
• SUBSEQUENT DRAFTS: Three Rounds – All players are FRESHMEN (4 year eligibility)

• SEASON ONE: 1971 – 1991 – 2011
• SEASON TWO: 1952 – 1972 – 1992 – 2012
• SEASON THREE: 1953 – 1973 – 1993 – 2013… etc. etc.

• NO TRADES –
• NO CUTTING of Players – Player get ‘scholarship’: the franchise has him 4 seasons.
• ‘GRAD TRANSFER’ – IF you have a player who missed one of his 4 scheduled seasons: he can ‘Red Shirt’ and the Franchise can draft replacement in Supplemental Draft (‘Grad Transfer’ player for one season) – the injured player does not get a 5th year w/franchise. IF your franchise does not have 19860 minutes: Franchise can draft replacement in Supplemental Draft (‘Grad Transfer’ player for one season). The Franchises Low minute player for that season will be a ‘Red Shirt’.
• POST ‘GRADUATION’ – When a player exhausts 4 seasons, he is eligible to be drafted. STAGGERED REENTRY: To break the cycle of ‘boom or bust’ draft classes, a players eligibility to be redrafted is based on his draft order. Players drafted in odd numbered slots (1,3,5,17th…) can return in odd# years (ex: 1993, 1995, 1997…) after ‘graduating’. Players drafted in even numbered draft positions (#2, 4, 6…22nd…) can return in EVEN# years (1982, 2012, 2014, 2016…) after graduation.

EXAMPLE #1: John Doe is drafted in the SEASON TWO draft – Doe is picked with SIXTH pick of 2nd round. He plays season 2, 3, 4, 5. He was selected with an EVEN numbered draft pick – he can return EVEN number season: ELIGIBLE season SIX.
EXAMPLE #2 Jimmy Smith is picked with 11th pick of round three in season SIX. He plays seasons 6,7,8,9. He is eligible to return season ELEVEN (because selected w/ ODD# pick), and has to sit out season 10.
(this can EASILY be determined and tracked in Player Selected List)

Been hoping for a League like this for probably a decade. My WIS-interest is at an all-time low right now, but this is simply too good an idea to pass on.

i'll play

Not sure I fully follow just yet but I'll give it a go.

do you have to draft rookies or is it all unused players? so let's say I draft Lebron for 03-04 through 06-07 does that mean he leaves then can be drafted in the next draft making his 07-08 through 10-11 years available to someone else?

rookies? you'r never restricted to ROOKIES -
You may draft ANYONE (as long as they are not on a franchise roster)

YES - if you draft LeBron for his '04 season, then you would have him: '04 '05 '06 '07,
and he is eligable to be DRAFTED for '08 season.

REENTRY:
If Lebron is drafted for '04 with an ODD # pick (#3, 5..9 etc.) then he would be eligible to return in '09
If LeBron is drafted for '04 with an EVEN # pick (#4, 6...12 etc) then he would be eligible to return in '08
STAGGERING reentry prevents PEAKS and VALLEYS associated with draft classes and breaks up draft classes through the years.

samuel - I hope the reentry thing is not a deterrent. It should be fairly easy to track -
I envision a players alpha list that should serve as a schedule of each players eligablity.
