Rules: Autodraft, $80 million dollar salary cap-DH, graduated drop, waivers, no restrictions on stadiums or trades.
After you select your team and after waivers run, a felow division member will identify one player on your roster who will be removed from your roster and replaced with a player of their choice. The replacement players must play the same primary position and must be at least 50% of the salary of the players removed from your roster. For pitchers, a starter who only needs three days rest must be replaced with another pitcher who needs only 3 days rest. The players who are removed from your team are ineligible for the league and cannot be used by any owner/manager.
The new player must be used for at their average plate appearances (position players) or innings pitched (pitchers)and must be kept on the roster until that criteria is met. Once that criteria is met, the player may be dropped if desired. We will be on the honor system to ensure the assigned player is used consistent with these requirements. By joining the league, you are agreeing to this criteria.
Divisions will be based on state lotto numbers high to low-east will be teams 1,4, 7 and 10 Central: 2,5,8, 11 West: 3,6, 9, 12
After waivers have run, we will hold our elimination/new player assignment on the message boards. For purposes of identifying a player to eliminate and a replacement player, teams 1 and 10 will be paired-that means team 1 will identify the player who will be eliminated and the replacement player for the roster of team 10. Then, team 2 will review the roster of team 11. Then, team 3 will identify a player to eliminate from team 12 and add a player etc etc until team 12 returns the favor for team 3 by removing a player and adding a replacement. Remember, the replacement player must play the same primary position as the player being eliminated. The replacement player must be at least 50% of the salary of the player being eliminated. So, you cannot replace Johnny Bench with Glenn Borgmann but you can replace him with John Stearns or Gene Tenace.
Each team will lose one player on their roster after the autodraft/waivers and will be assigned a player from a fellow owner.
The Commish reserves the right to make issue rule clarifications should it be necessary due to unforseen scenarios. The ruling will be in the best interest of competitive spirit of the league.
It's hoped this league will result in some intersting drafting strategies as we attempt to antiipcate players who might be the target of an envious divison mate.
