OK, I tried this recently and it didn't quite get off the ground. After consulting with some other SLB players and incorporating feedback, I'm going to try again, with a few tweaks.

Here’s the basic idea. This will be a 16-team league (4 divisions) in which we will build the theme rules from scratch. Once we have 16 owners, I will generate a random order, and each owner in turn will add a rule to the theme. These can be basic things, like a salary cap or whether we will use AAA. Or they can be things that relate to roster creation (like “AL players only”). We will end up with a league with 16 rules, that will apply to all of us.
Essentially anything goes, but I would like to stipulate a few things:

1. If you sign up, please be committed to playing regardless of how the theme rules end up working out. This whole thing falls apart in a hurry if an owner backs out because he doesn’t like a rule that is subsequently added.
2. Please consider whether your proposed rule will work with the other rules that are already in place. An obvious example of a rule that doesn’t work would be something that directly conflicts with a previous rule. A less obvious example would be one that makes our player pool so restrictive that our rosters become nearly impossible to create, or would make our rosters too similar to each other. If (and only if) absolutely necessary, I may declare a proposed rule invalid.
3. Someone must propose a rule about whether we have AAA or not. If you want us to have AAA, please be specific (how many?; Average, above average, below average?; draft-your-own or SIM-generated?)
4. Someone must propose a salary cap. I will set the range as anything between 80M and 255M. Nothing below 80M please. If this league is as fun as I expect it will be, we will continue to run it for several seasons, and I envision eventually lowering the minimum cap. But for now, 80M is the minimum.
5. We will not have trades or waiver wire. Note that the "no waiver wire" rule effectively means we can't use the "cash infusion after X games" provision - as there will be no way to spend the money.
6. EDIT: When I go to set up the theme, if there are any decisions to be made for which we have not created a rule, we will use whatever the default setting is, EXCEPT FOR minor league salary cap and clones. Clones will not be allowed unless someone makes a rule expressly permitting them. And if we do end up using AAA, I will set minor league salary cap to OFF and will set the transaction deadline as late as possible to allow for maximum flexibility.

Who’s up for giving this a try?
