The No Whining Progressive Early Edition (NWPEE) is looking for a new owner.
If you're interested, here's the poop on what the NWPEE is all about...
- We are a dual progressive preparing for our 44th Season, 1928/1993. We have just passed our All-Star Break and have had an owner announce he will be leaving at the end of the season.
- The draft commences the day after the regular season ends... so, that will be Thursday, October 24th.
- The NWPEE has a Constitution (available in the league forum) which 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 Chuck Klein in this draft and allot him 9 Contact Points, I would own his rights from the 1928 season until the 1936 season. He will then return to the pool of draft-able players. Once "signed", a contract is ironclad and cannot be renegotiated, unless the player is traded (see Constitution) or dropped.
The number you see beside each player is the number of Contract Points they have going into the 1928/1993 season.
The new draftees do not have any contract points assigned to them as yet.
If you have any questions, please feel free to SM me...
