MLB 2010 Opening Day League - Chat Thread

[ArrylT]

The Yearly Tradition concludes!! For the EIGHTH and LAST consecutive season I will be running a SOM 200x league (the first being 2003, then 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 & 2009) that will start its season as close as possible with the MLB Season. This is usually my FIRST league of the new card season, and I almost always have a losing record in it.

IMPORTANT: The season for this league will start on Monday April 5th, to coincide as close as possible to the beginning of the MLB Season.

Do NOT expect this league to start before then. It will NOT start on March 15th, 22nd or March 29th.

This WILL mean the league will NOT close EARLIER than Saturday March 27th and NO LATER than Friday April 2n.

FINALLY: Spots will be reserved for previous participants for 1 week after this post. If you are not a previous participant, please feel free to sign up as an alternate (first-come first-served).

Rules:

1 - 100m Salary Cap

2 - No DH (last year we used DH so time for a change)

3 - Unique Ballparks with a twist - Maximum of 6 AL and 6 NL Parks. After 6 AL Parks have been chosen the remaining owners will have to choose from the NL & vice versa.

4 - Ballparks & Divisions will be determined by SEPERATE Random Number Order Generators. The First will determine Ballpark Draft Order while the Second will determine Divisions.

5 - The order in which you sign up will determine your number. Therefore I am #1, next is #2 up til #12.

6 - Numbers will be randomly ordered by a non-participating volunteer.

7 - Advanced Skill Level (50 Manager Rating Points)

8 - Variable Free Agent Drop Penalty - games 1-41: 5%, games 42-80: 10%, games 81+: 20%
Due to the relative newness of 2010 I have decided to go with a more lenient Free Agent Drop Penalty

9 - Please use Baseball related Theme name if possible

10 - Need a volunteer to be asst. commish - contact me at arryl@hotmail.com if interested
