"The World Series Champs of Seasons 3 - 5 & 7 will be awarded a FREE TEAM for Season # 9."

question: What if the World Series champ from season 3 is also the World Series champ from season 5(or7) ?

This exerpt was copied from the rules

1997............( 3 ).....28 / 8.....................14......14.....Worst NL and AL teams
.................................................................................2nd worst NL Team will be placed in the division
.................................................................................and " YES ! " ( same owner )
.................................................................................where the worst AL team vacated
World Series Champ can not be eliminated.
***IF World Series Champ - Is same team from previous season - then World Series Runner-up
Acquires the Season 2 non-elimination spot

Entered a team. It's void of players, I'm hoping that's normal.

Yep! That's normal for a THM League.
Then when the THM is full we move to Live Draft Tool mode.
Download your ( 25 ) players and away we go.

I just entered a second team. 1 NL and 1 AL. Trying to get more owners to join from the spring training games.

Thank-you deadwood 21 in with 9 to go.
league starts with 30 teams and only the 12 best are left for Season 9
Conquer your opponents and then take their best players to build your team for Season 9

Know what else is cool. The boss retiredfart enters owners that join the league into a Private Forum. It has 11 different categories from The Rules is one and then there is one each for Individual player AL Stats / NL Stats / AL/NL Team Stats.
I always like to look at the history of a multi-season league. From all the MVP's in season 1 to how they progressed to the last season. I guess that's just for stat freaks.

...................The ROOKIE CHALLENGE
" ANY " ROOKIE that joins this league,
I will give them a " FREE TEAM " for SEASON # 2
" IF " ( 8 ) Rookies join.
and 2 are ELIMINATED - WORST W / L Record of season
That is { ALL 6 LEFT } get a FREE TEAM for Season 2.

Once you get comfortable with the league - Season 1 The AAA Season and
have had a chance to practice with the Live Draft Tool for Season 1 just for fun.
You will be totally ready for the Elimination League which will basically begin season 2

I think your league has a great concept, but my biggest drawback is the use of pre-1920 players.
I just dont like to see owners possibly using $28-40mil deadball pitchers.

Well, it's kind of difficult NOT to use the deadball ,guys and still have enough SUB .500 teams available to fill ( 30 ) teams.
and the years the deadball guys pitched is where you have some of the most FUN players to have on a team.
Like Cobb - King Kelly - etc.

It IS possible - it just comes down to personal choice.
My personal choice is to not use pre-1920 players.
Your personal choice is to NOT allow duplicate franchises - if someone takes the 1933 Indians, then no one else can take the 1993 Indians.

That is very true Grayfoxx.
I do prefer to have ONLY ( 1 ) team name in a league.
I may be wrong, but, If I pick say the Louisville Colonels as my SUB .500 team
I really don't want ANOTHER Louisville Colonels team in the league.

As you so eloquently put it,
It is a matter of preference.
You know you could join with ( 2 ) teams
( 1 ) team modern era and ( 1 ) team deadball era NL / AL
and see who does better.
