Have you ever wondered who was the best overall simleague baseball manager? One way to try and determine who this might be would be to determine who can manage the best across various salary caps. That is the proposed purpose of this progressive league. Hopefully we can recruit enough of the competitive owners to enter to make the winner of this progressive legitimate. This is how I propose to run the league"
1. There will be six seasons that will proceed from a 255 cap down to a 120 cap. The seasons will be 255, 225, 200, 160, 140, and 120. additional seasons can be added if players want to add lower caps. Each owner will be ranked by season according to their w/l record for each season. All the seasons will be played in the alternate E format which includes 16 teams in each season. At the end of each season owner will receive points according to their ranking. The 1st place team will receive 1 point, second place will receive 2 points on down the line. Each season I will report each owners cumalitve points. At the end of the tournament with the lowest score will be crowned king of the salary caps, second place and honorable mention will also be acknowledged.
Rules:
In the first season you will create an open league 255 cap team.
Each season you can replace up to 6 players. (reducing your salary cap each season) This means the owners must draft each season with an eye on how they will be able to gradually decrease their salary cap to 120. I believe that progressing along the proposed salary cap will provide a suitable challenge for all of us.
The will be trades, ww, and aaa for each season, but when it comes to reducing your cap each season you will have to go on the roster you drafted. I will be keeping track of each teams original rosters and play will not commence until all rosters are adjusted satisfactorily. Good luck
