The WIBL (What If Baseball League) Redux is looking for owners. We recently finished the 2019 season of the original league, at which point we decided to start over. Hence the Redux.
We have 7 owners staying with the league as we reboot, and 16 signed up so far below, so we currently have 1 available franchise. When you sign up, you pick your stadium (full league listed below). Anyone interested can be sent the full rules document, but the highlighted points are:
-Fully random, serpentine order for inaugural draft
-Weighted draft lottery for top 12 teams (top team has ~15% chance of landing top pick, 12th team has 6% chance of landing top 5 pick) w/ a 50 wins floor (one lost lotto ball for each game you fall under the wins floor).
-DH in AL Only starting in 1973
-AAA Draft of real players (fictitious AAA allowed from 1969-76 and possibly beyond, only for PA/IP need)
-Draft Pick Trades allowed of 2 seasons in advance
-Trade Deadline Game 120, Transaction Deadline Game 159
-Zero Trade Vetoes
If you'd like to join, please sign up here and claim your stadium. If you'd like to see the full rules document, sitemail me and I'll send them over.
Since we are a rebooting league, there's already a forum for the league where we will house all of our info.
Looking forward to some excellent owners joining up!
