The Centenary League, which began in 1969, is looking for 3 good owners to assume the  franchises listed below for our upcoming 1987 draft. But first a bit about the league:

We do not use DH or WW. We do encourage trading, of course. We draft our own AAA from the draft pool. We do not use the transaction deadline, so 159 games are played w/ AAA at your disposal. However, in-season trades are cut off at the 120 game mark.

Our draft order is determined by a Win Expectency formula. eagle61 can answer any questions about this, but in a nutshell, it is a performance based formula designed to reward teams for overperforming and penalize teams which underperform. Basically, the best anti-tanking method I've seen. The formula is cut off at the 120g mark so we can begin preparing for the next season's draft.

We also have an added feature called the Record Book, which I keep in an excel file. It is a detailed statistical history of the league. If interested, I will gladly e-mail this to you.

As for the next step, we are currently posting keeper lists. We have a private forum, so once I get confirmation, I will get the new owner access to this. You may keep up to 25 players, though if you keep 25, you will not draft until the AAA phase. IOW, the regular draft is used to get your roster up to 25 and then we draft AAA players from the remainder of the pool. DL players must not be sim-eligible for the upcoming season.

Great group of owners.

Sitemail me or post here if interested or w/ any questions.

Just want to add one thing.  This league is my favorite because of the draft system.  Good team or bad this league is always fun because the draft order is based on how well your team performs in comparison to its payroll.  I would take one of the above teams but I'm already in the NL. 

just eye-balling it but it looks like Pittsburgh would be fun with Herschiser, and Chuck Finley to build around.
