One of the top all-time worlds in HBD, this is one of those places where you don't have to worry about lopsided trades, or teams selling the farm for a quick run, or massive amounts of cash flowing back and forth between teams. If you can win here, you can win anywhere. "As long as it's big and long, it's going in my mouth." -tlowster

MAIN WORLD RULES

• Minimum Win Requirement (MWR): 55/125/195/280 = 55 in any single BL season, 125 in two consecutive seasons, 195 in three consecutive and 280 in four consecutive
• Trade cash limited to up to $1.5M of net trade salary difference
• Maintain minors - financial penalty for minor league teams finishing under .250
• Trades to unload BL salaries must receive BL-quality in return (see trade guidance below)
• City change allowed once every five seasons, including when joining

TRADE GUIDANCE

• Deals that should be APPROVED:
  • BL quality (current or future) on both sides of deal (while meeting trade cash provisions)
  • Career minor leaguers for career minor leaguers (minor league salaries)
• Deals that should be VETOED:
  • BL quality (current or future) for career minor leaguers (usually to dump salary)
  • More trade cash than net difference in trade (or over $1.5M world ceiling)
  • Lame duck owner deals with questionable value for next owner
  • Collusive or team destroyers

PREFERRED OWNER QUALIFICATIONS

• 1500+ HBD ML games played
• .500+ overall record; reached playoffs 35+% of total seasons
• Limited-to-zero heavy tanking years (i.e. 108+ loss seasons)
• 2+ consecutive seasons completed with a current franchise
• Owners that miss the MWR once may return after a season away with a different franchise
• Owners with more than one WIS career login must reveal that to the commish

Available Teams

AL South Team -- MWR victim, missed by just one game this season. Team has been below .500 for all but 1 of the last 20 seasons or so, which means there should be tons of talent in the minors. I would say there is a rock star or potential rock star in just about every level of the farm, and a little investment in the ML squad could make this team a playoff contender from day one.

NL South Team -- One of the best and most consistent franchises in the world for the last 20+ seasons, tlow won three WS's over the last ten seasons. Despite all of that success, the team is not entirely top heavy with talent, and he has some guys in the minors who you could build around, or trade away if you want to win now.

Interested

I need the password

I'd be interested in taking AL East Team # 2; filled in a few years ago but willing to jump back in!

i dont qualify....tough league.....but really great name

Best world.

I'd be interested in any (would prefer AL if I have a say). My record is affected by having an affinity for rescuing bad teams and trying to get them to compete as well as filling in for missing GM's. The worst season listed for me is a 28-134 season and I was in that league for maybe a month just as a fill in for an MIA owner. I just wanted to help out and get the minors straightened out for whoever took over the next season. Feel free to sitemail me with any questions.

Cheers,
WCFZ

2 to go ... this is the best world I've played in. It's competitive, well run and usually flips seasons quickly.

I believe I qualify and am interested in the AL South franchise.

Rickey has four owners willing to do an owner swap if you have one who wants to join us.

I'm interested in jumping back into HBD and this looks like a great world. Sitemail sent to njohnson.

World Series coming up, just two openings currently

Interested in returning
