Here are the world rules:


1. Loss limits: Any team that fails to meet the win requirements, will be removed from the league unless it is determined by the veterans/rules committee that a one year grace period should be granted due to extenuating circumstances.
- Any team that wins less than 55 games in a single season
- Any team that wins less than 125 games over two consecutive seasons
- Any team that wins less than 195 games over three consecutive seasons


2) No lobbying for or against trades in the league forums.

3) Using players that are clearly minor league fodder in the ML for extended periods of time will not be tolerated; all ML rosters should maintain at least 24 active players; in the event of a catastrophic injury problem you should be able to find adequate cheap replacement in the FA pile or waiver wire. Additionally, If an ML team starts a pitcher with fatigue 50 or less they get a warning and 6 games to get their staff in place. A second violation after that 6 game grace period will result in expulsion from the league. Minimum Minor League Roster Size Requirement: Each minor league team should have at least 22 active players.

4) We ask that you refrain from talking about hot topic issues (religion, politics, etc) in the league chat and refrain from cussing/verbally attacking another owner. Examples of uncivil conduct in the general chat will receive a warning from the commissioner. If it persists, the veterans/rules committee may vote to expel the owner.

5) There will be a two week "rules discussion" period at either the end of season or start of season. During this period and this period only we can have open discussion on league issues that may need changing. There will be a vote during that period and after the two weeks the vote will be final and you will need to wait until next season to propose further rules changes.

6) Stadium changes are allowed only if you have been in your current stadium for at least 3 seasons.

Hi folks I just want to say a word in support of Dirt as a member of the Veterans Committee. Slurie does a fantastic job with this league. It is excellent. The rules are well-done and they are followed. He's very patient with recruiting so we haven't had any problems with non-committed owners, nor have we had any excessive drama or fighting. The available teams have all been relatively well-cared for. Come join us!
