As of Friday, we still need one more owner, Draft tonight and start Monday!!!

This is a unique, private league with very special rules.

You draft using the $200 mil cap; however, throughout the entire season you must keep total team salary at 25.0 million or less. No DH.

Essentially unlimited transactions with no penalty - the 25 mil cap stays the same, the 20% in season transaction penalty is deducted from your 175 mil reserve cash.

The league runs by the honor system. So no one should ever go over the cap. But if it does happen, there is a penalty so that the mistaken owner doesn't get an unfair advantage. The owner must cut salary to match or exceed the amount over, and play at the cut level for twice as long as the time as the team was over.

league name 25 mil cap, pass = sleeper

Please sign up.

Room for one more.

Synopsis
While in a hospital, recuperating from stress, Liz Powell, whom her agent, Barney, describes as "the best little stripper- dancer that ever came down the pike", has a strange nightmare. Every night, she awakens at midnight. She turns and breaks a drinking glass full of water, and then hears strange footsteps outside her door. It is always the same person: A nurse who beckons Liz to follow her. When Liz does, she goes down into an elevator and nervously approaches Room Twenty-Two.

The strange nurse then emerges from the dark shadows of the room and, smiling wickedly, gives a message: "Room for one more, honey." Liz screams and runs back to her room, where she falls back to sleep. Her doctor claims that the dream is impossible, as there is no nurse who resembles the woman in the dream working in the hospital. The doctor then suggests that Liz change her actions in the dream, such as not to reach for the glass of water. Liz does this that night, and is happy to hear no footsteps, but when she turns to sleep, her blanket shatters the glass. The dream goes on in the same way, but this time Liz realizes that the room is a morgue.

The next morning, the doctor is shocked: Liz has never been downstairs to the morgue, and yet she described it with remarkable accuracy. The episode then goes to the airport, where Liz is preparing to go home. While nervously twitching in the terminal, she bumps into a woman carrying a vase. It falls, making the same noise as the drinking glass in the dream. Liz's flight is then announced as "Flight 22", leaving immediately. In a long, slow shot, Liz walks up the runway, climbs the stairs, and approaches the plane.... and a stewardess who looks just like the dream-nurse appears, intoning her same terrifying message: "Room for one more, honey".

Screaming, Liz runs back down the stairs and into the airport, falling to the ground. As the plane takes off, an insert shot reveals the stewardess shrugging, baffled by Liz Powell's behavior. A moment later, as the concerned airport staff rush towards the hysterical Liz, a twist is revealed: The plane explodes immediately after takeoff, killing everyone aboard. Liz's dream has saved her life.


Closing narration
“ Miss Elizabeth Powell, profession: Dancer. Hospital diagnosis: Acute anxiety brought on by overwork and fatigue. Prognosis: With rest and care, she'll probably recover. But the cure to some nightmares is not to be found in known medical journals. You look for it under 'potions for bad dreams', to be found in the Twilight Zone.

That's it ladies and gentlemen, the league is filled. If you didn't get in, you are going to miss out on the best thing that ever happened to Santa Monica.

the Heart of Texas too!!!!!!!! :wink:
