4. Missing three or more minor league W% = automatic expulsion
5. All matters of fatigue issues as opposed to the rule expectations outlined previously will be discussed and voted upon at the end of the season by the VG.
NOTE: The rules are in place to ensure that there is some consistent competitiveness and assurance that franchises will not be excessively depleted. Some exemptions and flexibility is possible (ie. Illness, acts of nature) but it is expected that all owners otherwise adhere to this plan.
