Who can build the best team from 2 decades of a specific MLB franchise? Let's find out! Anyone's invited to join, but please pay attention to your team and adjust fatigue settings, etc. accordingly throughout the season to keep the league's competitive balance as even as possible.
THEME RULES/NOTES see post below to claim your team/decade...*please note change from prior seasons where we had used 1 decade instead of 2:
1.) Must draft players from only 1 MLB franchise (all Yankees, all Red Sox, etc.) & w/in a specific 1
20-yr timeframe (i.e.: only Yankees players from 86-05, only Red Sox from 04-23, only Senators/Twins from 1956-1975, etc.). Can NOT draft players outside of 20 years apart & from different franchises to your roster or that ineligible player will be removed & replaced with an eligible player or your team can be removed if unresponsive to sitemails or messages to fix your roster.
2.) No clones.
3.) No waiver wire.
4.) No DH.
5.) No trades.
6.) Award winners are allowed.
7.) $75 million MLB salary cap.
8.) Optional AAA manually drafted "average" pitchers & "average" position players (between around $700k-$1.5 million for aaa pitchers salary & around $1.5-$2.775 million for position players salary...4 pitchers, 6 position players, no AAA salary cap) from your same chosen team/decade OR can have WIS randomly assign your "average" AAA pitchers or "average" AAA hitters (your choice). Manually drafted players not from your same chosen team/decade will be removed & replaced by WIS randomly assigned AAA players if you are not responsive to sitemails or messages to fix them.
9.) Must choose WIS generic stadium with 1.0 ballpark factor so there are no ballpark advantages and everyone has the same ballpark.
10.) There can be the same franchises owned by more than 1 owner (for example, there could be 3 different versions of the NY Yankees chosen).
11.) An owner can own up to 2 teams in the league. Leagues & divisions will be aligned by different eras/decades as best as possible (i.e.: deadball teams will be in the same division as each other), & owners with 2 teams will have each team put into different leagues.
