Old School Franchise League - $ 70 Mil (STARTED ) Topic

Old School Franchise League

This is another twist to the 70 mil franchise leagues that  I've run in the past.  In this iteration, we'll go twisted old school: 16 teams, but with 4 team divisions and an LCS series fro each league.  The years for this league will be from 1947-1972.  These years bookend Jackie Robinson's debut in 1947 with his passing away in 1972.  1972 was also the last year before implementing the DH in the AL.

If you haven't played a lower cap league before, I'd highly recommend giving it a try.  All franchises are competitive at this level and you'll use players you never have before.  (and maybe never will again).  This league will require you to truly GM & manage ,so come join!



Salary Cap:                                    70 mil
Player Seasons:                           1947 - 1972 and from your selected franchise only.
AAA:                                                 6/4 Below Average:  Manual draft.  Players MUST be from your franchise AND from 1947-1972.
Waiver Wire, Clones, DH:           No     
Trades:                                            Yes

Franchises:                                   Only 1 use of each franchise.  The 1961/1962  expansion franchises can be used.
Number:                                         16
Home Park:                                   Must be one used by your franchise from 1947 - 1972.
Divisional Alignment:                  2 four team divisions.  Geographical.
LIVE game requirements:         40.  Playoffs must be played live.



I'll select my franchise after 8 have selected theirs.
