The draft for Season #17 ('36'66'96 of the original Triple Era Progressive will soon start and we need one owner to take on a team that owns Chipper Jones, Tony Gwynn, and Roger Clemens, and will pick 6th in the upcoming draft that includes Derek Jeter, Nomar Garciaparra, Scott Rolen, Jason Kendall, and Billy Wagner among others.  See below for the current roster and the league rules.
 
This league has a strong set of owners many of which have been there from the outset and continue to enjoy this unique progressive. Take a look at the league rules below and the current roster of the available team.
 
If you are interested or have questions, feel free to post below or sitemail.

League Structure
The inaugural season began with 1920 (Ruth, Speaker, Sisler, Hornsby), 1950 (Williams, Musial, Dimaggio, Robinson), and 1980 (Brett, Schmidt, Henderson, Carlton).  Each era has its own draft involving 8 teams, with those teams being randomly split into two divisions (one in the NL, one in the PL).  The net result is that the NL and the PL each have one 20’s division, one 50’s division, and one 80’s division.

End of League/Wrap Around

-Beginning with the 2005 draft, the teams from ’04 would be allowed to draft from either the 20th or 21st century.In other words, during the ‘45/’75/’05 draft, the ’00 teams can draft from 1905 or 2005.

-However, any player drafted from the 20th century would be placed immediately on a provisional IR list making them ineligible to play until brought up.

-Provisional IR players who are brought up can only be brought up at the beginning of a season (after the offseason draft is complete), and when brought up they will replace the highest paid 21st century player on that team’s roster.

-Once a 21st century player has been replaced by a 20th century player, that player will be unavailable to be drafted by any 21st century team in the league.

-Once we catch reality those teams will be completely migrated to the earlier century and all provisional players would be automatically brought onto the active roster prior to the next draft.This would likely occur following the 2014 season, prior to the 2015 draft.

 
The Draft
Three sets of 8 teams draft within their chosen era.  Teams draft within their chosen era each season, even if they traded for and later dropped a player from another era (see Trades).
 
Drafts after Season 1 are NOT serpentine.  Subsequent seasons will have a draft using cut players and all other players in the database from the current season that aren't keepers on someone's roster. You'll have as many picks (see Rosters below) in the draft as needed to complete your 25 man roster.  The draft order is worst record to best record within era.  The draft order is set at the 120 game mark with no minimum wins required at the 120-game mark to retain your spot in the draft.  Teams with 45 or fewer wins at the 120-game mark will be entered into a lottery for the #1 pick, with the worst team getting 8 chances, the next team getting 7, and so on.
 
Tiebreakers for draft picks where teams have the same regular season record will be decided by head-to-head record (better record picks first), then run differential vs each other (better differential picks first), then coin flip beyond.
When tiebreakers or lotteries are required to decide a draft position, the winner of the tiebreaker or lottery will get the better draft position in the odd numbered rounds (1,3,5,etc.), and the loser will get the better draft position in the even numbered rounds (2,4,6, etc.). The following scheme will be used to determine the positions for the subsequent rounds for all 3-way ties:

1-2-3
3-2-1
2-3-1
1-3-2
3-1-2
2-1-3

Repeat as necessary.

Drafts generally are not timed (i.e. no timeslots), so the drafts will be more relaxed.


Rosters

An IR list will be maintained for players that miss a season due to injuries or whatever. These players must be brought back up or released once they have a SIM eligible season.

Owners may cut as many players as they want at the end of each season. It is not mandatory that owners cut anyone.

Trades
Player trades may be made with any team regardless of era, and you may retain the player you obtained for as many progressive seasons as you like. Once you drop the player, he becomes available to the teams associated with that era for their next draft.

Offseason trades are to be sitemailed to the commissioner. Upon receipt, such trades will be reviewed by the commissioner, approved/disapproved immediately, and communicated back to the owners involved as well as the rest of the league owners. The commissioner's decisions are to be made with the intent of maintaining the best interests of the league in terms of competitive integrity.

Trades made during the season (i.e. when the league is active in SIM) will be made using the SIM trade function.

Draft picks may be traded during or between seasons, including during the draft itself.  Future draft picks may also be traded, but only for the next season. However, no in-season trades of any kind will be allowed after the transaction deadline (120-game mark), and no trading of picks across eras are allowed. During the season, if 8 or more owners reject a trade, then it is officially vetoed. During the offseason, the commissioner will make the decision regarding the validity of a trade.

Owners who traded away a draft pick must cut at least as many players from their keeper list as the number of draft picks traded. In other words, if a team trades away two draft picks for the next season, that team must drop at least two players when it comes time for the affected draft.

Trades between teams owned by the same person will not be allowed.

A reminder for keeper lists will be sent out by the commissioner at the 120-game mark (which is the transaction deadline). Keeper lists are to be posted by each owner before the end of the current season.

Incentives
Admin will provide $50 in gift certificates for each five years that a league is in operation. The only catch is that half of the original members of the league must be in the league after five years. For the next bonus after ten seasons, half of the members from season 6 must still be in the league.

Prizes will be awarded as follows:

$30 - Most team regular season wins over 5-season period (even if team had multiple owners)

$10 each – Most regular season wins over 5-season period (even if team had multiple owners) within the other two brackets (example: 20’s team has most wins overall wins $30, highest 50’s team and highest 80’s team both win $10).

Additional Rules
NO WW
NO AAA
YES DH
TRADES YES
Full or partial player seasons may be used
SLL restricted to next scheduled series ONLY

Team name should be consistent from season to season, and must include the year from which you drafted for that season. For example, ’20 Detroit Bombers followed by ’21 Detroit Bombers the next season.


A League with Class
This league is intended to be fun and entertaining to all who participate. As commissioner, I will ask that all communications associated with the league as well as all team names used within the league be “G” rated. Let’s make this a classy league that maintains a focus on the game.

Really a great league. I'd take this team if I didn't already have a team in this league! And if you want to build around Clemens' monster '97 and '98 seasons and beyond, I have a trade proposal for you!
