The No Whining Progressive Early Edition (NWPEE) is looking for two one new owners
If you're interested, here's the poop on what the NWPEE is all about...
- We are a dual progressive set to enter our 40th Season, 1924/1989
- The NWPEE has a Constitution (available in the league forum) which spells out all of our rules. Owners are strongly encouraged to read it over... in the event of any league issues, the Constitution has the final say.
- We pride ourselves on our quick seasonal turnover. The 1924 / 1989 Draft goes on the clock Saturday, January 6th. Usually we start right after the last game of our regular season, but that is January 1st... and we have a couple of owners still in transit for the holidays.
- 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 Ken Griffey Jr. in this draft and allot him 12 Contact Points, I would own his rights from the 1989 season until the 2000 season. He will then return to the pool of draft-able players. Once "signed", a contract is ironclad and cannot be renegotiated, unless the player is traded (see Constitution) or dropped.
The number you see beside each player is the number of Contract Points they have going into the 1924/1989 season.
If you have any questions, please feel free to SM me...
