Need one for 1976. Draft will be starting soon. This league is a bit different than most, goes backwards in time and with smart drafting and roster management, you can be competitive for long periods of time without having to luckbox the lottery. Also, zero incentive to tank.
League Format: Alternate WIS Format E (162 games, 16 teams, NL:4/4/0, AL:4/4/0, balanced, interleague)
Keepers: 15 keepers plus IR, due by game 100.
- If you are keeping a player with a split season, you need to specify which version you plan to use, and then you will be locked into using that version the next season. If such a player is traded during the next year's draft, the player's new owner can use any version they choose.
Draft order: Determined by salary of 15 keepers and IR players (50% of value of next active season salary)
AAA: 6/2 below average
Injuries: On
DH: Off
Waiver Wire: Off
Add/Drop after the draft: No
Trades: Yes, deadline is game 100, draft picks can only be traded one season in advance. Also, each team must have a minimum of 22 real MLB players at all times. Otherwise, non-contending teams would be dumping all 10 non-keepers for pennies on the dollar. Trades can also be vetoed if six of more owners vote against it (but please reserve this for outrageously lopsided trades, call it the arvidjosef rule.)
Stadium: Must use a stadium active in that MLB season. When a stadium becomes obsolete, you can relocate to any available stadium. Returning owners are allowed to change stadiums one time (other than when a stadium becomes obsolete).

Bad news is, team does not have own 2nd and 7th round picks, has two 8th and 10th round picks. Good news is, team figures to get a high first round pick and the 1976 draft has a lot of star players.
