The Jubilee Progressive is based off of ancient biblical times when every 7 years, debts would be forgiven and slaves set free. In our league, every 7 season, all players revert to their actual real-life franchise. In between those seasons, you get to draft and trade to improve your franchise. This helps keep our franchises at least resembling their real-life counterparts, forgives the sins of those who have drafted/traded poorly, and keeps those who have drafted/traded well from building unstoppable juggernauts. 20 teams, DH in AL only.
The draft order is determined by upon the reverse order of the teams' real-life records, so there is no incentive for tanking, and teams whose players had down years in real-life are more likely to get better draft picks in our league.
We're in the playoffs for 1995 right now. The current jubilee cycle runs through 1998, meaning you could take a team, select any number of keepers, and draft/trade to improve them from 1996-1998, then in 1999, your roster would become the real-life roster of either your franchise or one of the several unowned franchises. Usually, at least a few owners decide to switch franchises at each jubilee reset.
If you're interested, please let me know. The available franchises are listed below. Please ask if you have more detailed questions about the rules, and I can get you into our private forum to read all the specifics.
