RULES

This is a progressive league that begins with seasons 1956 and 1986.

Draft times will be 10AM ET to 10PM ET everyday. Only players that are WIS eligible for a certain draft are available. If you're unavailable for your draft time send proxys to other available owners, particularly owners drafting after you. If teams miss their draft times, picks can be made up anytime. If selections aren't made by the following draft day the commish has the right to make up these picks.

Drafts will be based on reverse order of standings after 120 games. 1-24, 1-24. Teams must have a minimum 30 wins at this point or will lose one draft position for every win below this plateau.

Cap is $255M. No to AAA, WW and DH. Yes to trades including draft choices. Draft choices can only be traded one year ahead. After the trade deadline, draft picks can be traded in the upcoming draft and the following season draft.

Owners are resposible for checking the keeper list and the available player list. If an owner drafts a player already owned, that owner will have to draft again ASAP.

If RL team changes park you must change park. Use RL team city name. Use any nickname.

Teams must post unlimited protected lists at the transaction deadline including 2 spots for injured players or those who miss WIS eligible seasons.

There is an Add/Drop thread for those who need to make any changes to their rosters. This takes place after the draft is complete 10AMET on a first come first served basis. Dropped players can be picked up by other teams. Please don't use the Add/Drop thread thread until the draft is completed.

ML players not allowed to play, for trade purposes only.

Unused draft choices, (slots) can be traded within reason. Example; Team ONE needs only 1 player in draft, can trade draft slot 2 to TEAM 2 for a future pick.

Is this team still open? I will take it if it's still open...
