$100M Salary Cap(voted on by owners)
DH
2010 Unleashed Set
Advanced Rules
Frenzy
5/10/20 Waivers
28 man roster
Trades Encouraged

Each owner lists their current place of residence or their hometown. Please list nearest MLB city, vote for $100M or $140M Salary Cap. You will receive that city's franchise (if two, please pick one). Please be honest as this is not a first come/first serve draft, it really should be your hometown or current city if possible. After the league is filled, we will hold a one round draft by reverse order of the total salay of your hometown franchise so please list the total salary next to your hometown franchise.
Each owner will draft one more full franchise in the 1st round.
Then in the 2nd round each owner will be able to draft another half franchise (pitchers or hitters) from the remaining available teams. The one wrinkle is in keeping with the hometown theme, the half franchise must be from one of the 3 geographically closest franchises in proximity to your hometown franchise.
Some owners hometowns will most likely overlap somewhat, but if your city is already taken then please list another place you have lived so there are no repeats.
After the draft then on to the autodraft. Owner's can only have players from their draft pool on their cards. Owner's retain the rights to all franchises/players from their original draft pool the entire season and they cannot be picked up as free agents by other owners. Any non drafted franchises' players are not eligible to be picked up as free agents.
All players are eligible to be traded (offline or throught the trade engine) if you are trading a player not currently on your 28 man roster, it must be announced and confirmed in a league message to all owners. Any player traded becomes part of the new owner's draft pool and he/she owns the rights to that player even if the player is dropped from the active roster.
You ask why is it Hometown Sluggers League, bc each owner has to pick the most "slugging friendly" ballpark from among their 2 1/2 franchises. This is the ballpark with the most overall chances of BP HRs.
