The No Whining Progressive Early Edition (NWPEE) is looking for a new owner for our New York (NL) franchise.
So, a little bit about us...
The NWPEE is a dual year prog that is heading into our 1909 /1974 season (Season 25).
The draft will not be beginning until November 21st... but we want to give new owners lots of time to get comfortable with their new teams.
- No Whining is rule #1. Owners are expected to be responsible for their teams. That is... make your picks in a timely manner... keep track of your keeper lists... deal respectfully with the other owners... and enter your team without undue delay. We understand life can get in the way, but if that is the case, please let us know so we can take appropriate steps. Our Constitution (available in the league forum) spells out all of our rules and what it says goes. Owners are strongly encouraged to read it over... or at the very least not whine about being on the wrong side of anything that has been officially spelled out for all to see.
- In order to discourage tanking, the NWPEE has a completely random draft order. The draft order is determined at or around the All-Star Break. And yes this means that the eventual WS champion can end up drafting 1st over all. Rounds then proceed in a serpentine fashion. i.e. 1-24, 24-1, 1-24, 24-1... and so forth.
- One of the unique features of the NWPEE is that, in order to ensure that there is a constant flow of good players available (and to mitigate somewhat the effects of the random draft), the NWPEE employs Contract Points. They operate much like a salary cap. Every team has a Contract Point ceiling of 80. Contract points are the equivalent of Years. So, if I draft rookie Jim Rice in the upcoming draft and allot him 13 Contact Points, I would own his rights from the 1974 season until the 1986 season. He will then return to the pool of draft-able players. Once "signed", a contract is ironclad, with a very few special exceptions. These are the numbers you will see beside each player on the available teams.
If you have any questions, please feel free to SM me...
