One of the top all-time worlds in HBD, this is one of those places where you don't have to worry about lopsided trades, or teams selling the farm for a quick run, or massive amounts of cash flowing back and forth between teams. If you can win here, you can win anywhere.

MAIN WORLD RULES
  • Minimum Win Requirement (MWR): 55/125/195/280 = 55 in any single BL season, 125 in two consecutive seasons, 195 in three consecutive and 280 in four consecutive
  • Trade cash limited to up to $1.5M of net trade salary difference
  • Maintain minors - financial penalty for minor league teams finishing under .250
  • Trades to unload BL salaries must receive BL-quality in return (see trade guidance below)
  • City change allowed once every five seasons, including when joining
TRADE GUIDANCE
  • Deals that should be APPROVED:
    • BL quality (current or future) on both sides of deal (while meeting trade cash provisions)
    • Career minor leaguers for career minor leaguers (minor league salaries)
  • Deals that should be VETOED:
    • BL quality (current or future) for career minor leaguers (usually to dump salary)
    • More trade cash than net difference in trade (or over $1.5M world ceiling)
    • Lame duck owner deals with questionable value for next owner
    • Collusive or team destroyers
PREFERRED OWNER QUALIFICATIONS
  • 1500+ HBD ML games played
  • .500+ overall record; reached playoffs 35+% of total seasons
  • Limited-to-zero heavy tanking years (i.e. 108+ loss seasons)
  • 2+ consecutive seasons completed with a current franchise
  • Owners that miss the MWR once may return after a season away with a different franchise
  • Owners with more than one WIS career login must reveal that to the commish
NL South Team -- Owned by the same guy for a decade worth of seasons, pretty consistently hanging around .500 during that time, with a best of 91 wins in S76, and this season being the worst record with just 72 wins. $128M in salaries this season, it's definitely a "we could contend with some tweaking" type of squad.

I'd be interested in any (would prefer AL if I have a say). My record is affected by having an affinity for rescuing bad teams and trying to get them to compete as well as filling in for missing GM's. The worst season listed for me is a 28-134 season and I was in that league for maybe a month just as a fill in for an MIA owner. I just wanted to help out and get the minors straightened out for whoever took over the next season. Feel free to sitemail me with any questions.

Cheers,
WCFZ

Down to just two franchises, with each having a ton of historic consistency that you can build around.

2 to go ... this is the best world I've played in. It's competitive, well run and usually flips seasons quickly.

I believe I qualify and am interested in the AL South franchise.
