RULES of League
League Philosophy:
The philosophy of the league is summarized in three themes: (1) have fun, (2) each owner takes FULL responsibility for the success of his own team and the league as a whole, and (3) No Whining. This is not a League for owners who have trouble adhering to deadlines, making draft picks on time, keeping track of their roster, or getting keepers in on time. As the rules below will make clear, it is expected that owners will meet deadlines, take full responsibility for accuracy in their keeper lists and draft picks, and act with integrity (Good Sportsmanship) at all times.
------------1961 Rookie Progressive League------------
INITIAL DRAFT:
The initial draft will be 21 rounds of snake style draft, each owner making 1 selection per round, followed by 5 Rounds of snake style draft with each owner making 2 selections per round on there schudalled Draft time. Stadium/Franchise must be selected some where during the draft. So the Draft will be a Total of 26 Rounds for 30 Players and your Baseball Franchise & Stadium. (Draft Order will be determined by random.org). The player database available for the draft will be all players (WIS) available in 1961 and players that RETIRED in 1959 and 1960. Each owner will have 30 minutes to make there pick, before the next owner will be up to Pick. NO Clonesallowed to be Drafted. Also only 1 owner per each player will be allowed, unless the Commish makes a Judgement Call from some type of Mistake.
TWIST:
What makes this league any different from every other progressive? We will draft our 30 man majors rosters, But all Players will revert Back to there Rookie Seasons. 25 Players for your Majors and 5 Players will be Drafted to your Minors.This is your Team coming from the 1961 WIS database and player that retired(according to WIS database) in 1959 and1960, however, each player will begin their careers from their ROOKIE season (hence the name of the league) In case you need further clarification...Bob Gibson will revert back to1959, Willie Mays starts back in1951...Ted Williams starts back in 1939... Warren Spahn starts back in 1946.. etc...
FUTURE DRAFTS:
Future drafts will be both straight forward. Our season 2 draft will consist 1962 rookies and any Players that were Cut or Not Drafted the Previous Year. Rosters will Consist of 30 Players that each Owner's Drafts. But when Keepers are Posted, If a Player is Drafted that was Cut. He will play the Season under what ever season he was cut in. Example : If he was playing in 1965, that was his 4th Season, then he can be Redrafted for the 1966 Season, Progressing 1 year with the League. If that Player fails to be drafted that Year, He will be elimated from the League's Future Drafts, Unless he has eligibility for future Seasons. So if we were in the 1969 Season, He could only be drafted for the 1969 Season Only. When we are in Season #3, Willie Mays would be in his 3rd Season's and advances accordingly. Season 3 will be 1963 rookies and so on.
We will be entering Season Two - 1962 Draft
We have a 90+ Owner that something must have happened to him. He hasn't opened sightmails now for about 2 and 1/2 weeks. We are now in our Draft. So I'm forced to Look for a New Replacement Owner for him.
