The No Whining Progressive is a unique progressive, which just ended our 2004 regular season. We will need one new owner for 2005. The unique thing about our league is that our draft order is completely random each season. As we are a 24 team league, our non-playoff teams are randomized (by a hall of famer not in the league) for the top 16 picks, and our playoff teams are randomized for picks 17-24. The top 16 picks then switch order for the remaining rounds (1-16 become 16-1 starting in 2nd round) and then 17-24 do likewise (17-24 become 24-17 starting in 2nd round).
Otherwise, we utilize the DH in AL only, and draft our own AAA (up to 10 AAA players) with no fictitious players allowed. Trade deadline is Game 120, but you can make call-ups until Game 159. No WW.
