Leagues 17 and 18 consist of all the expansion franchises since 1961. If you pick 1980 for the Royals (a group 1 season), your other two seasons must be from Group 2 and Group 3 of the Royals. Even though there are different franchises playing in these two leagues, you can’t mix the seasons of two or more franchises to build your roster.
League Alignment will be according to the highest to the lowest total Pyth W-L Perct. - with the highest four being in the N.L. East and working down the page from there.
EDIT (12/23/2016): IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER: From those three groups, you must have at least $25M worth of players from each of your three seasons, BUT you can not roster more than $45M worth of players from any one season.
That’s 24 players. Once all 16 owners have selected three seasons to make up their roster, there will be a Free-Agent draft for your 25th player. The remaining seasons (of your particular franchise) not selected AND the seasons that weren’t originally offered will become the Free Agent pool.
Clones are not allowed in League 17. As far as the rest of us, obviously, two (or more) different owners may have the same player on their roster (just not the same season of that player) but there won’t be any one Yankee squad with two Babe Ruth’s on the roster.
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Clones: No
Waiver Wire: No
Trades: No
A.A.A.: No.
Designated Hitter: No
Injuries – Turned Off.
CAP – $110M.
You may use either partial or full season stats of any player who had a split season - as long as the stats indicate it was for your franchise.
Stadium – All teams/leagues will use a stadium that their franchise called home during one of the three seasons they used to build their roster.
