Basic Rules:

Salary Cap - None

AAA - 12/6 Below Average (Any Career Keeper/Team Icon with fewer than 60 IP/ 150 ABs may be placed in AAA or on the MLB roster to start the season).

DH – None

Trades - Allowed and almost needed. Teams can only trade for eligible players though. Draft picks may be traded 2 years in advance. Players to be named later (future random AAA players) may also be traded.

IR - Unlimited. Restricted to any player without a WIS season, or any CK/TI that did not play for your franchise at all during that season (at owner’s discretion).

WW - No

Keepers - Unlimited. Any players who were assigned to your roster as career keepers, team icons etc. must be kept for the duration of their career.

Subsequent Seasons Draft Order - Will be determined at the end of the season (162 games). 53 wins are needed to qualify for a top 3 pick. Teams that do not reach 53 wins will be slotted from the 4th spot on by most wins. The rest of the draft (including top 3 picks) is inverse order of record. The first pick in rounds 2-4 belongs to the team with the fewest wins and continues in inverse order.

Team Names and Stadiums - Same as real life. If your team changes names or moves parks, then you must do the same.

Specific League Rules:

Keeper Rules - All players that fall in to the 3 keeper categories below will be forced on their respected franchise. They can not be traded or cut.

CAREER KEEPERS - Any player who has every season in WiS for one team will belong to that team. They cannot be cut, but may be put in AAA as the rules state below.
*Ryne Sandberg would still be a Cubs Career Keeper even though he had 6 ABs for PHI in 1981 because all of this WiS seasons 1982-1997 are with CHC

TEAM ICONS - Any player whose first ten or more eligible WIS seasons are with the same team, and who has had no more than 3 full WIS seasons with other teams (including defunct teams) will be designated a Team Icon and belong to the team whom he played 10 years for.

Any player who only played for one active team, while all his other teams are defunct (CHC, CLE, MIL, SDP, SEA, TEX) will be a Team Icon of the active team, even if it was just 1 PA/1 IP with that active team.

- If a player is traded during his 10th season he will still qualify and that season will not be used against his 3.

- Any Team Icon being may be placed on IR any season he did not play for your franchise.

- Any player who played every game for an expansion/defunct team will not be eligible to be drafted by any team.

Sorry. Should have marked this as taken. Happy to keep you in mind for future openings.

Need a new owner for the Houston Astros in 1984. We will be entering the 39th season of the Icon III progressive. You will be replacing an owner who has been with us for about 25 of them but is cutting back. 1983 roster is listed above.

We are currently at game 136. The Astros are looking at a likely top five pick in '84.

I will take the Astros
