Jubilee Progressive
The Jubilee progressive is based on the concept that every 7 years, in times gone by, slaves were freed, debts forgiven and property restored. That final point is the concept the Jubilee Revisited Progressive League (JRPL) is based. League owners have the player rights to their chosen franchise returned to them every seven seasons. During the six seasons between, via rookie draft and trades, owners try to improve their franchise beyond what their MLB counterparts were able to field and best that MLB Won/Loss Percentage. That is a personally satisfying (or discouraging) unique challenge to the league. The other challenge is much more traditional....make the playoffs, win the World Series.
We need one new owner. We're drafting for 1988 right now, and Milwaukee's current roster is below. Someone dropped on us right as the draft was starting, so another owner is making picks, but as soon as you sign on you can take over. The draft order is based upon your franchise's real-life finish instead of how your team performs in the progressive league, so there is no benefit in tanking. The draft in the year immediately after a Jubilee season is very strong because it includes a lot of free agents from the teams that aren't in our league, so you'll get a chance to make some big improvements.
Let me know if you’re interested, and please ask questions if something isn’t clear!
