NL players only. We will play the regular set, never the unleashed set. Unleashed players, are available to be drafted in bench building draft, but of course, cant be on the active roster, till they receive a card from SOM that is not in the unleashed set.
Houston players for our first season as a league (2 seasons on SOM), as with all players cut/traded by NL teams to AL teams, also, must be cut before the start of our FA draft next spring.
We will play 2 seasons a year. One soon as our draft is over, the 2nd, the 1st week of Oct. Division assignements for our 1st season, will be 1,4,7,10...2,5,8,11...3,6,9,12 Divisions for the 2nd season this year, and all years, will be by record, 4 worst teams, will be the East, for playoff teams, will be West, Central will be the other 4. Ties broken by run differential.
Our initial draft, is 26 rounds (25 players, 1 stadium) Serpentine style draft set by randomizer our opening season.
Draft a stadium whenever you want. No clock first 3 rounds. After that, clock runs 7 days a week, 10A-10P EST, 2 hour clock.
Stadiums are lifetime contracts, unless, the bp effects change by +/-6 in one category, or, by +/-15 in all four categories combined. In keeping with the theme, NL only stadiums. Stadium drops, must be made during the FA draft before season 1, of any given year. Replacement owners, may choose at new stadium when they enter the league, before, the FA draft.
During the initial season, after game 42, we will have a bench building draft of 10 rounds, NFL style, draft order, will be by record, worst to first, after game 42 is played. Ties will be broken by +/- run differential. Unleashed players, may be drafted. After the bench draft, we will have 35 players on our roster. After the Bench Draft, any legal SOM team roster is allowed.
Moves within your organization are unlimited, as we will play with the 200 mill cap. Keep in mind, all SOM rules apply. 11 pitchers, 14 hitters, two catchers, 25 min, 28 max etc etc etc...
A 5 round prospect draft, will be held at the end of season 1. A prospect, is any player, that has never had a SOM card. Again, NFL style, worst to first, ties broken by run differential. Once a prospect gets a card, he must either be promoted, or cut.
Before next season (2013 cards) cuts are to be made 1 week after SOM makes the new cards available online.
10 round FA draft, with the draft order, determined by the combined record of our two seasons, NFL style, ties broken by run differential of the combined seasons.

, just thought I'd bring this up now since you and I have both run into it recently. That is the allowance for any new ownership to change the ballpark for the team they take over. Hopefully we don't lose anyone, but life happens!
