Back to the Progressive Theme League Classifieds...hat in hand

The WESPL now has one 1964 team available - a Baltimore team that plays at Memorial Stadium

this team is loaded with pitching and has ample bats for a very competitive team

see the whole roster of potential keepers below

The WESPL was designed to minimize the benefit of losing games to gain an advantage in the next draft (also referred to as "tanking")...there is no reward in the WESPL for losing...but there is a reward for winning...so over the course of the league - now going into it's 92nd season!! - there have not been "fights/arguments" over "tanking"

about the WESPL itself......

The league rules reward winning - there is no incentive to tank during the season since losing only worsens a teams potential draft slot

The drafts are often deep because quality players who might be keepers in other progressive leagues are often cut due to the player's impact on team salary

Rules

This is progressive league playing dual eras. Each season we play a season from 2 different years, but we keep those years completely separate by league (except for interleague play). We play each era simultaneously, one in the NL and one in the AL. In effect we are playing two progressive leagues, separated by league boundary.

- drafted players will be owned until they are cut, are traded, or retire

- stadiums will be owned for the life of the league, unless you appeal for a stadium change.

· each team may carry over as many players as it likes to the following season (standard progressive- For instance, the team who had 1923 Babe Ruth in 1923, would have 1924 Babe Ruth in 1924. )

- keeper lists will be due before 141 game of the current season. Late keeper lists will have all possible keepers counted against their DPR (see below), and if not submitted by the start of the draft- all possible keepers retained.

- players who miss a WIS season in mid-career can be retained on the DL until their career resumes. for instance, if you draft P O'Doul in 1923, you can retain him until he comes back. (you have to keep him or cut him the season he comes back with a WIS season)

· each season there will be a separate non-snake rookie/free agent drafts to fill out rosters in each league/year. a drafted player will be owned by its drafting team until that player is traded, is cut, or retires.

The draft order formula is:

Total salaryYr1 at Game 81 (Millions to the tenth x2) + salaryYr2 from posted keepers before Game 136 (Millions to the tenth X1) - Wins at Game 140/2= DPS (draft power score)

the lowest possible salary that can be entered into the formula will be 55 million. For instance, if your salary from year 1 (or yr 2) was 39 million, 55 million would be used in the formula. (there is no draft position advantage to holding a firesale to get below 55 million in salary)

Lowest DPS drafts first, highest last

trading draft picks for players or other picks is allowed.

·at no point in any season will a team from one league/year be able to have a player from another year. for instance, a 1923 team will have all 1923 players. there will be no inter-year trading between 1923 and 1946 teams. (trading between teams of the same year will, of course, be legal and encouraged).

·Team names will begin with the current year, followed by the city of your stadium, followed by a nickname of your choice (can be the real name, or a name of your choice.) for instance, if you drafted wrigley field in the 1946 draft, your team name could be: '46 Chicago Cubs, or '46 Chicago River Rats etc. it could not be don's dingers, or tallahassee tigers etc.

·AAA will be set to below-average, so as to provide fatigue relief, but at replacement-player level ability (similar to real life minor leagues).

·The NLCS will be considered the WS of the '97 era, and ALCS will be considered the WS of the '38 era. The LCS winners will be proclaimed "champions" of their respective eras, and the world series will be a time-travel exhibition match for WIS rewards, personal stats, and bragging rights.

·No DH
