We need one owner for the upcoming 1975 season. The draft is scheduled to start in a week. League rules are below, as you can see this is a bit different than most leagues, it goes backwards in time, and the limited keepers and draft rules encourage smart drafting and roster management and eliminate incentives to tank.
League Format: Alternate WIS Format E (162 games, 16 teams, NL:4/4/0, AL:4/4/0, balanced, interleague)
Keepers: Exactly 15 keepers plus IR, due by game 100.
- If you are keeping a player with a split season, you need to specify which version you plan to use, and then you will be locked into using that version the next season. If such a player is traded during the next year's draft, the player's new owner can use any version they choose.
- New Rule on Keepers: If you somehow find yourself unable to keep 15 players, there will be a $5 million penalty added to your keeper total for each player you are short.
Draft order: Determined by salary of 15 keepers and IR players (50% of value of next active season salary)
AAA: 6/2 below average
Injuries: On
DH: Off
Waiver Wire: Off
Add/Drop after the draft: No
Trades: Yes, deadline is game 100, draft picks can only be traded one season in advance. Any trades involving draft picks must leave each team with exactly 10 picks. Also, each team must have a minimum of 22 real MLB players at all times (majors or minors it does not matter). Otherwise, non-contending teams would be dumping all 10 non-keepers for pennies on the dollar. Trades can also be vetoed if six of more owners vote against it (but please reserve this for outrageously lopsided trades, call it the arvidjosef rule.)
Stadium: Must use a stadium active in that MLB season. When a stadium becomes obsolete, you can relocate to any available stadium. Returning owners are allowed to change stadiums one time (other than when a stadium becomes obsolete).
