This season's rules

100M CAP with DH (Odd numbered years) (In even numbered years we use a 90M CAP with no DH)
No WW, Trades, Clones
Yes to AAA (average quality 12 hitters and 6 pitchers)*
Teams Assigned By Random Drawing
Standard WIS OL Format: 6 divisions of 4 teams each, interleague play, WC in both leagues
*This will be the last season in which we use this level of AAA. Starting in 1980 we will reduce the # of AAA to 6/2 below average.

Each season we will drop the two worst teams (by RL winning percentage) and the divisions will be realigned according to the winning percentage the teams had that year. We will continue to use this alignment until we get to 1994. If the league is still running in 1994, we will expand to 28 teams and we will use the real life division alignment.

This is a standard twist league, which means you can use anyone who played for your team that season according to Baseball-Reference.com. You can use any season of their career as long as they made at least one appearance for your team in 1979. You can use any player from the WIS database under $250K to fill out your roster.

You must use the stadium your team played in for 1979.

Fun league. The twist format and the cap levels make for a hugely competitive league. Notice some of the recent winners: Brewers, Mets, White Sox...anyone has a chance to win.
