We're getting ready to start Seasom # 11 and we will have 2-3 openings. Please read the rules below and reserve your spot if you would like to join.
World Rules-
Win Floor: 55/125/190
If an owner violates the anti-tanking rules, they may appeal.
They can make their case to the world committee and state why they should be allowed to stay. The committee will then vote the fate of that owner, if allowed back you will still need to make the next win floor.
Example: if you win 50 games in season 1 and are allowed back you will need to win 75 in season 2.
A world committee will be set up by the commish.
It will be made up of 4 owners, 2 from the AL and 2 from the NL.
The committee will vote on rules violations as well as admission to the world if / when vacancies occur. In case of a voting tie, then the commish will cast the tie breaking vote.
Each owner only gets one appeal, after that a violation results in expulsion from the world.
If a committee member quits or gets kicked out, then the commish will appoint a replacement committee member.
If the commish quits or gets kicked out, then the committee will appoint a new commish.
All owners are expected to keep their minors stocked, to avoid fatigue problems.
Above all the owners will be held to the WIS HBD fairplay rules.
Budget limits:
(Updated Season 5, 01/14/2013)
Budget Violations will be dealt with as follows. If a team budgets lower than the minimum they must transfer that amount from Prospect Budget and their max for prospect budgeting will be that much less overall for that seasons. Example if a teams bugets 6M in ADV Scoting they must transfer 4M from prospect and their max prospect for that season would now be 26M. If a team does not have enough prospect $$ to transfer their may be a sanction on the foillowing season. The Commish reserves the right to immediatley expel an owner for violating this rule.
