WIBL Progressive is currently full Topic

The WIBL Progressive League started in 1969, and has 16 owners with 10 or more seasons in the league. 

We have 2 teams that need to be filled.  Both were run by owners carrying 2 teams this season. 

We do not use random AAA.  We hold a 2 round, 4 player draft at the conclusion of the regular draft to fill our AAA spots.

We run our draft worst-to-first with a 30-game win floor to receive a top 3 pick.

These are just a few of the league rules (I'll post the rest after I post the teams).

League Rules

DH- in American League ONLY,12 game crossover + World Series.

4 Drafted AAA are allowed to be used - computer generated AAA are NOT allowed to be used
AAA draft will follow the regular draft (See AAA Draft Rules below)

Draft picks can be traded up to 1 Season in advance.
Ex.- During the 1995 season, teams may trade their 1996 draft picks. 1997 picks cannot be traded until the 1996 draft is underway.

Draft Order is set at game 120- worst record to best.
30 win minimum by game 120.

Draft Order Tie-Breaker Rules-
Head-to-Head Results. Season Series Loser gets higher pick.
If season series is tied, run differential is used. Lowest runs scored gets the higher pick.
If Head-to Head Record and Runs Scored in the season series are STILL tied, the team with the best home winning % at the 120-game mark will be given the higher pick.

AAA Draft Rules
The AAA Draft will occur after the regular draft has reached the end of its schedule.
A minimum of two (2) days will be given between the end of the regular draft and the AAA draft to allow for missed picks to be made.
The AAA Draft will consist of two (2) rounds, with each team selecting two (2) players in each round.
The draft order for the AAA draft will be worst to first, or the same as round 2 and later.
If a team chooses not to draft AAA players, they are limited to their 25 man roster for the upcoming season. They will not be allowed to use ANY AAA players.
Penalties will be assessed for using ineligible AAA players.

Off-Season Draft
After each season, the league will hold its First Year Player Draft. This draft will also include undrafted players from the previous season, and all players cut from their team after the preceding season.

The draft order will be set at Game 120, with the worst record getting the #1 pick, and the best record getting #24. In order to qualify for #1, your team must have won a minimum of 30 games by the 120-game point. Failure to meet this requirement will drop your pick to no better than #4 (in the event that 2 or more teams fail to reach the minimum wins goal).

Available Player List
Once all keeper lists have been turned in, the commissioner has the duty of removing all rostered players from the player pool and providing a list of all available players for that season's draft.

While it is the commissioner's duty to provide said list, it is the duty of each owner to review the list, ensuring that none of his "keepers" are listed as "available".

There will be a time period of no less than four (4) days, between the posting of the Available Players List and the official start of the Draft, in order to give each owner a chance to make sure the list is mistake-free.

Once the draft has officially begun (the first scheduled pick* has been made), the Available Players List is set in stone and cannot be changed.
*Scheduled pick is defined as a pick made during an assigned timeslot.

The commissioner has the responsibility to verify all rosters before scheduling the league for the new season.
The commissioner has the responsibility to verify all keeper lists for accuracy before finalizing the available player list. Any discrepancies should be brought to the attention of the affected owner immediately, so that proper action can be taken.
This could include missing players, forgotten Injured Reserve players, or incorrectly claimed players.

When posting an open team in the classifieds, it is the responsibility of the commissioner to verify the complete roster of that team. This will include checking the roster from the current season, and checking the keeper list from the previous season. This should prevent any players on IR from being overlooked.

By far my favorite progressive.  Active league with lots of trading, and did fencer mention that we have 16 owners that have been with the league for 10+ seasons?
1/31/2012 12:53 AM
I'm sold. I'll take the Oakland team if you will have me
1/31/2012 6:31 PM
Oakland is yours byeags25.  Enjoy Pedro, Nomar and friends.

Draft Rule Update (just to make sure it is clear)

You may keep up to 25 players each season, including players that were on your AAA squad the previous season.
If you choose to keep 25, you will have no picks in the regular draft, but you will still have your 4 AAA picks to make.

So SF needs a little work...

They have the 6th overall pick in the draft.  What does the 97 draft look like?

 

Here are (arguably) the top 10 players available (in no particular order):
Vladimir Guerrero
Jorge Posada
Magglio Ordonez
Todd Helton
Miguel Tejada
Derrek Lee
Chris Carpenter
Kevin Millwood
Derek Lowe
Bobby Abreu
Jose Vidro

Okay, that was 11.  But any one of those guys could have a huge impact on this team.

I will take San Francisco...looks like a challenge!
