The No Whining Progressive Early Edition (NWPEE) is looking for a new owner for our Toronto (AL) franchise.
As the draft is nearing, I am, at this time, offering a free first season.
If you're interested, here's the poop on what the NWPEE is all about...
- We are a dual progressive set to enter our 38th Season, 1922/1987
- The NWPEE has a Constitution (available in the league forum) which spells out all of our rules. Owners are strongly encouraged to read it over... in the event of any league issues, the Constitution has the final say.
- We pride ourselves on our quick seasonal turnover. The 1922 / 1987 Draft goes on the clock Monday, August 7th, two days after the end of the regular season.
- In order to discourage tanking, the NWPEE has a completely random draft order. The draft order is determined at or around the All-Star Break. And yes this means that the eventual WS champion can end up drafting 1st over all. Rounds then proceed in a serpentine fashion. i.e. 1-24, 24-1, 1-24, 24-1... and so forth.
- One of the unique features of the NWPEE is that, in order to ensure that there is a constant flow of good players available (and to mitigate somewhat the effects of the random draft), the NWPEE employs Contract Points. They operate much like a salary cap. Every team has a Contract Point ceiling of 80. Contract points are the equivalent of Years. So, if I draft rookie David Wells in this draft and allot him 9 Contact Points, I would own his rights from the 1987 season until the 1995 season. He will then return to the pool of draft-able players. Once "signed", a contract is ironclad and cannot be renegotiated, unless the player is traded (see Constitution) or dropped. Contract Points are the numbers you will see beside each player on the available team.
If you have any questions, please feel free to SM me...
