**************************
The Basics:
**************************

$140 Mil Cap
* No DH.
* 6/2 below average AAA for filler.
* Partial Seasons are allowed.
* 15 Keepers each season. Cut 10.
* I.R.- 1 Injured Reserve Player Allowed per Team.
You can choose to Keep more injured players, but they will have to be used as one of your 15 Keepers.Injured Reserve Players will NOT add into your Keeper Salary.
* 40 Live games required for Playoffs.

* Trades OK- subject to standard League Veto.
* Allignment- Random every season.Keep it fresh, play different teams and players.
Stadiums- Exclusive, Any.Stadiums may be switched from season to season. Simply post or sitemail what stadium you will be switching to the next season at any time. First come, first served.
Team Names-Whatever you darn well feel like calling 'em. They're your teams after all...

* Draft Times- Draft Times are (EST)same as WIS time.
* At Midnight (EST) the next days picks can begin, regardless of Missed Picks.This will help get the next Day's Round started the night before. I am up late and can take Midnight Proxies if you'd like. I can take daytime/evening proxies as well.
* Draft Order Each Season will be set based upon your 15 Keepers Salaries, lowest total salaried teams will Draft first.

* Hitters & Starting Pitcherscan begin their League careers in either their first $5 million+ salaried season, or an earlier cheaper season if you prefer. (Also aplicable to Hitters/Starting Pitchers that don't have a $5 million Season. In these cases, you may choose any season to begin with, i.e.- Oscar Gamble.)

* Relief Pitcherscan begin their League careers in their first $3 million+ season, or begin at any earlier cheaper season.

* “Born into the League” season. The season you choose to start your player's career will be the season that player will be officially "Born into the League"

Other specifics:

* Players that are in the WIS database as BOTH pitchers and hitters- (i.e. Babe Ruth/ BobCaruthers)-- the Drafter will be able to choose the Drafted Player as either a Pitcher or Hitter and start their career accordinglt based on the $5 million+ rule above.

* Pitchers that had careers as both starters and relievers-(such as Dennis Eckersley & Hoyt Wilhelm) can be Drafted as either a Starter or a Reliever.

* Once the “Born into the League” Season is set, all Drafted Players Progress Season to Season as in any other Progressive.

* Keep 15 Players each season and Cut 10. All teams 10 cut players (240 in all each season) will progress as well and can be Drafted any time from season to season by any team as Cut Free Agents. They will be tracked and listed in a Thread alphabetically for Pitchers & Hitters and progress chronologically wether drafted or not until they are officially retired.

* Seasons 2, 3, 4, ect. Draft Player Poolswill consist of any Rookies not yet brought into the League, or any previously Cut Free Agents that progress each year wether they are on someone's team or not. So for guys with a few productive seasons over a career, they may be jobless durring their down seasons and redrafted when they hit another good season.

* War Exemptions-(Passed w 16+ Votes) Players such as Ted Williams, Joe Dimagio, Hank Greenberg, Bobby Doerr, ect. can skip their Baseball gap durring their service years and go into their next active WIS Season. WWI, WWII, Korea

* Once a player retires in real life- (runs out of WIS Seasons) that player is retired and will forever be gone from the League.

* CURRENT players that hit their WIS "end of the road" in 2009 (or 2010)such as Chase Utley, Prince Fielder, Ryan Howard, Tim Linsecum, ect-- once they run out of WIS Seasons (say Linsecolm who has basically 2 seasons- 2008 & 2009) you will have the option of using your 1 allotted Injured Reserve Slot or use one of your 15 Keeper slots to retain Linsecolm until he has a 2010 database season- or you can cut him and he'd be available again the next Draft that he has a database season.

There are two kinds of people in the world, my friend. Those who have a rope around their neck and those who have the job of doing the cutting.

I'll do the cutting todd...

I will join. Are the seasons listed above the seasons I am to use?
