Beautiful day for a ballgame-Let's Play Two! [65] Topic

Season 65 is getting ready to kick off in Let's Play Two. Good group of seasoned owners in a private league. Currently looking for six competitive but honest owners to join us.

Private rules include a Minimum Win Requirement and a Minor League Management rule. See below for details. I know not everyone is a fan of rules like these so I wanted to be sure all are aware.

Here is a brief overview of the teams we have available:

AL North team:
Last year: 93-69, 1st place in division
Lost in Division round of playoffs
Scheduled to pick 28th in first round this season

AL East team:
Last year: 47-115, Last in division
Scheduled to pick 1st in first round this season
*Might need the most work but has numerous high draft picks in franchise

AL West team:

Lost in Wild Card round of playoffs
Scheduled to pick 21st in first round this season.

NL South team #2:

*Might have to the most upside

Privates League Rules:

1) Have fun and no drama!

2) Minor League Management Rule (Effective Season 16 and beyond) Each owner must maintain a healthy minor league system. This requires that each level of their minor leagues contains a MINIMUM of 25 active players with no less than 12 hitters and 12 pitchers by the first day of play for each level. Any team that does not meet this requirement will receive the following:
- One private warning from the commissioner via trade chat within 10 days reminding owner to become compliant with the rule.
- If after 10 days the owner is not compliant, the commissioner will report a second warning on the public chat so the league is aware and the owner will have an additional 10 days to become compliant.
- If after the total of 20 days the owner is still not compliant, that owner will not be accepted into the league the following season which will also be reported via league chat.

3) Min Win Rule (Effective Season 36 and beyond): Winning % requirement for
- 1 season: >.320 (52 wins)
- 2 consecutive seasons: > .360(117 w)
- 3 consecutive seasons: > .375(183 w)

If a team falls below a requirement, teams under the threshold will be subject to a vote of the 3 longest-serving owners in the league.

All the best,
