Serie A vs La Liga Head-to-Head Draft
Players who are eligible: Only players who have played in one of these leagues but not both are eligible.
Format: Snake draft. 16 managers split into two pots (8 managers will select players from Serie A, 8 will select from La Liga).
Restrictions:
1. Only players born after 1st January 1960 will be eligible
2. Players who have neither played in Serie A, nor La Liga will obviously be blocked
3. Players to have played in both leagues will be blocked
4. Each team must have a minimum of five nationalities represented in their starting XI. If a player has played for more than one national team, you must select one and state which nationality when producing your write ups. There is obviously no limitations as to the maximum number of nationalities in your squad.
5. Three additional players from both leagues will be blocked before the start of the draft. It will be for the manager number 8 on the list for each league who will decide which three players to block from the opposite league. These players will be blocked for the duration of the draft.
6. If an ineligible player is selected you are stuck with him. If a second ineligible player is selected, you will be given a sheep.
7. Even if players made a single competitive league appearance in the top division (whether on loan or signed for that team) in both leagues they are blocked and ineligible.
8. The only way a player will be eligible having played in both countries will be if he played for a lower league team in either Spain or Italy but not Serie A/La Liga. This counts for all competitions (league & cup matches).
Drafting sequence: First the teams will be randomly drawn to determine which league they will represent (odd numbers will represent Serie A, even numbers will represent La Liga).
A second random draw will then be made to determine the order for each relevant snake (of 8 teams), down from 1st to 8th, then back up to the 1st and down again and so on.
General Draft Rules:
G1 - All matches will be for 24 hrs
G2 -You have 8 hours to post your draft pick and update the list. If you do not do so, the draft proceeds to the next manager in line and it is up to you to post your draft pick at your earliest convenience.
G3 -Once you have posted your draft pick you can't change it and you have to tag the manager next in line to inform him/her that it is his/her turn. There are NO exceptions to this rule, please honour it, even if you feck up.
G4 - Managers may delegate an Assistant Manager to assist them, as long as it doesn't cause continuous waiting while "discussing" picks. If delays continue, you'll be stripped of your AM. AM'scanpost the pick for the manager, and that pick will also be final. So be sure before posting.
G5 - When posting your draft pick, please post a picture of the player. You can also briefly explain why you picked this player. This will help keep discussions going as well as outside interest.
G6 - Voting is based on league peak.
G7 - Reinforcement pool will be all eliminated teams. Not round specific.
Squad size:
12 players before the first match, then 14 for the quarterfinals, 16 for the semifinals and 17 for the final
Matchday:
As the draft name suggests, this is a battle of the leagues. Teams from each league will be randomly drawn against a team from the other league. At the ¼ final stage, the remaining 8 teams will be randomly drawn against each other (i.e. you may play against a team from the same league).
Reinforcements: after each knockout round all eliminated players go into a reinforcement pool for their relevant league and stay there until the final. After the first round and the quarterfinals, each manager gets to pick 2 players in a snake format with the draft order reversed from the previous round. After the semi-final, the two finalists can only pick one player as a reinforcement. Managers can only select players from the league they are representing when making reinforcements.
The same nationality restrictions will also apply for all rounds.
