(1) You must have a minimum payroll of 30 mil. by opening day and it must be maintained throughout the season.
(2) No ML players playing grossly out of position,
(3) Competent major leaguers at the ML level,
(4) No fatigue issues in the majors
(5) Minimum wins 54/1yr, 114/2yr, 186/3yr
(6) Maintain minors to satisfaction of other owners (while no exact number of players is a requirement, starting the season with 29 players and 15 pitchers/level will automatically meet this guideline)
(7) an owner may be given a 1 year "grace period" by the vote of 10 owners (any owner can initiate the vote) (confirmed 4/18/2010 by league vote)
(8) EVERY new owner is asked to make a 3 year commitment
