The Diamond Draft game is called 162-0

This baseball alternative to the 82-0 game builds an eleven-slot lineup: nine batting positions, a starting pitcher and a reliever. The Diamond Draft address opens the game branded 162-0, whose normal draft returns a projected record.

Nine batters, two pitching jobs

C is catcher, with the infield and outfield jobs around it. DH belongs to the batting nine but does not name a fielding position. SP and RP remain two distinct pitching openings, so a completed group of hitters leaves pitching work to do.

Actual Diamond Draft candidate pool with Gary Sheffield eligibility and four Assign to position buttons — The genuine Eligible line and Assign to buttons reveal the card's usable openings.

Where should an eligible hitter go?

Consider a hypothetical hitter offered at both 1B and DH, with both slots open. The contribution comes with a placement decision: which of those openings do you want to leave for a later candidate?

Placement example; use the actual Eligible line for your card
Place the hitter at	Keep open	The remaining question
1B	DH	Which later eligible hitter deserves the flexible batting place?
DH	1B	Which later candidate can fill first base?

The two routes spend different options. Choose using the current card's permitted jobs and the gaps in the lineup. Pitchers stay within their supported SP or RP assignments; DH does not solve a missing arm.

Era and visibility

All-time and Modern set the draft's era scope. Classic exposes stats during selection, while Hard Mode hides them. Choose those conditions before starting so the information available for each pick is clear.

Team and Decade re-spins

In the normal draft, Team preserves the decade and Decade preserves the team. The allowances reset after a placement. Use the current offer's remaining control deliberately; a spin can still return the same context.

What Projected season actually tells you

The eleventh placement automatically produces the normal draft's Projected season. It converts weighted card contributions into a wins/losses projection out of 162 games. The standard calculation is deterministic for its supplied lineup and scoring data, rather than a fresh sequence of 162 random match outcomes.

The scoring panel uses decade ratings, playing-time weighting and a comparison benchmark. Keep those terms with the projection. Card-display wording can describe career statistics while the scoring explanation describes decade contributions, so use the field labels on the screen when recording values.

The target is a projected 162–0. Preserve the eleven entries and the returned pair when judging an attempt. The sport table explains how that notation differs from the NBA, hockey and soccer objectives.
