Dual-season progressive league 1 season away from reloading in the 1950s needs five owners. We’re heading into 1980/2010 (our 13th season), and after 1980/2010 we’ll go to 1981/1951. At that point there will be the usual worst-to-first draft for 1951 first-year players only. That will be followed by a random-order draft of all other players active in 1951, so teams will have a great opportunity to rebuild. No AAA.

The league offers some live play but none is required. Owners who play live are generally placed in the AL, with most of those teams playing 15-20 live games per season.

The draft for 80/10 is rookies only??
What about all of the extra players who have never been drafted??
And next year's draft is 1951 first year players, what about the 1981 first year players??

Couldn't have explained it better (or as well!) myself.

Thanks shawbigred. I've added you to the league forum as well. Need someone to take over a solid Baltimore franchise and we'll be ready to go. I'll be out of town until latwe Tuesday night, but will have someone check this thread while I'm gone.

Need one more to get going. Good way for someone to try some live games with no minimum requirement.

Sending sitemail. I'd like to take the team.
