The No Whining Progressive Early Edition (NWPEE) is looking for a new owner for our New York (NL) franchise.
The draft will begin on April 27th, so hopefully you will be have plenty of time to get yourself properly aquainted.
The team is currently under the stewardship of a very fine veteran owner who will be happy to cooperate with any new owner...
If you're interested, here's the poop on what the NWPEE is all about...
- We are a dual progressive about to enter our 27th Season, 1911/1976
- The NWPEE has a Constitution (available in the league forum) spells out all of our rules. Owners are strongly encouraged to read it over... in the event of any league issues, the Constitution has the final say.
- In order to discourage tanking, the NWPEE has a completely random draft order. The draft order is determined at or around the All-Star Break. And yes this means that the eventual WS champion can end up drafting 1st over all. Rounds then proceed in a serpentine fashion. i.e. 1-24, 24-1, 1-24, 24-1... and so forth.
- One of the unique features of the NWPEE is that, in order to ensure that there is a constant flow of good players available (and to mitigate somewhat the effects of the random draft), the NWPEE employs Contract Points. They operate much like a salary cap. Every team has a Contract Point ceiling of 80. Contract points are the equivalent of Years. So, if I draft rookie Andre Dawson in the upcoming draft and allot him 8 Contact Points, I would own his rights from the 1976 season until the 1983 season. He will then return to the pool of draft-able players. Once "signed", a contract is ironclad, with a very few special exceptions (see Constitution). These are the numbers you will see beside each player on the available team.
If you have any questions, please feel free to SM me...
