INCENTIVES!
So, rookies, in all divisions except for NL South:
IF I'm sufficiently convinced you're not a sneaky alias...For the 1st 5 seasons, I will provide a $10 GC for each playoff appearance your team makes. If you win a WS in the first 5 seasons, I will provide a $50 GC (capped at 1).
NL South
the payment will be $20 bottle of wine for playoffs....$50 bottle of wine for world series.
If it is determined beyond a reasonable doubt that a newb is an alias, they will not be eligible for the payout--and may be booted from the world if the evidence is irrefutable.
