The J4M is a 24 team progressive league, that began in 1963, and currently in the 1989 season. We have 2 teams available, one is run by an owner running an extra team, the other is a work in progress and will be run by commissioner in interim until a new owner is found.

This league uses a draft formula to determine the 1st round draft order that encourages teams to win as many games as possible, and encourages you to be strategic with the amount of salary you carry on your roster. The 2^nd and later rounds are based upon worst record first. After the traditional draft, there is an Add/Drop option and an optional 4 round AAA draft (for actual 1990 players). Teams will have between 25-33 players from 1990, as they choose.
This is an anti-tanking league that encourages you to put the best team on the field for the lowest payroll for 1^st round draft positioning.

The 1990 draft will be ready to start shortly after the current season ends. Sitemail me or stevebobldn (who assists with the running the drafts), with any questions or post here:
