For Life- Season 10 Topic

World For Life is heading towards Season 10
This is a very unique and challenging world in that its intent is to have teams built from the ground up and have players remain with their franchise "For Life".
To that end, the league specific rules are as follows:

-- Team names: They must be the same as they have been from previous seasons and are all major league franchises (except one -- Charlotte, which is a minor league franchise as there weren't 32 to choose from.... actually two, but the other is the Montreal Expos, so a former ML franchise)
-- Free Agency: The intent of the league is for players to stay with their franchises "For Life" so there is no signing of Free Agents from other franchises until the "Open" Free Agent Period that will be set and put out by the Commisioner. Our "Open" Free Agent Period begins the day before the Rule V Draft (so at the end of the traditional Free Agency Period).
-- Trades: There are no trades allowed.
-- Waiver Wire: Waiver Claims are not allowed.
-- Released Players: Released players are "Fair Game" to be signed by anyone at any time. This includes Arbitration Eligible Players that are released. You can tell that a player has been released (as opposed to "Left Via Free Agency") by looking at the transaction page on his player card.
-- Rule V Draft: No Players may be taken in the Rule V Draft.
-- Prospect Payroll: There is no limit to what an owner may set or transfer into their prospect payroll.

You must be willing to agree that non-compliance with the set rules will result in your willing removal from the league, to be replaced by an owner willing to play by and respect the rules. There will also be no excuses tolerated for missing out on signing your own players in time, etc. The point here is that we're all adults. We shall play the game as such. Much like WiS policy, there will be no helping out in case of "user error".

This is one of the best, most parity filled world out there:
  •  After 9 seasons we have 7 different champs!
  • 85% of the teams have made the playoffs at least one time!
  • No team has made the playoffs every year!
  • Only 2 teams in the entire world average 90 wins or more a season!
  • Only 2 teams in the entire world average 90 losses or more a season!
  • 6 of the 8 divisions have won a World Series!

Bumped because the world kicks ***.

I agree with gomiami1972 - very cool league with a unique setup. Great for guys who want to stick around awhile with no trades. You have to build from within. You also have to wait until the last day to sign other teams FA's. Takes a little getting used to but it's been fun.
