Just started the playoffs, so getting some available teams posted now. If you're interested, let me know!

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

Available Teams

AL East Team -- 59 wins this season, but the team is way better on paper than that. A couple of real rock stars on the ML squad, plus some good depth in the minors. Number two pick in the next draft, but a squad that could be a playoff team next year if it's run the right way.

NL North Team -- MWR victim, only 54 wins this season and the top pick in the draft next season. Spent less than $35M on contracts this season, but has some good mix of talent on the ML squad, and obviously a ton of talent and depth in the minors after several down years.

AL North Team -- Another MWR victim, came up 5 games short this season. Just about $37M in payroll this year, and spent a whopping $46M on IFA's and the draft, plus a ton of money the last few years, so maybe the most stacked team in MG right now.

Interested

I need the password

I'd be interested in taking AL East Team # 2; filled in a few years ago but willing to jump back in!

i dont qualify....tough league.....but really great name

Best world.

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

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.

Rickey has four owners willing to do an owner swap if you have one who wants to join us.

playoffs are happening, so starting to get some available teams listed
