Description: The rules are simple because there is only ONE unique rule here: RULE: You can NOT have duplicate franchises on your roster come opening day. Every player on your squad must be from a UNIQUE franchise (THE SPECIFIC CARD YOU USE IS WHAT COUNTS). Angles, Athletics (Oak OR Phil A's), Blue Jays, Braves (Atl, Boston, or Milw), Brewers, Cardinals, Cubs, Diamondbacks, Dodgers (LA or Bklyn), Expos, Giants, Indians, Negro Leagues (ONLY ONE), Mariners, Marlins, Mets, Orioles/Browns (This is 1 franchise), Padres, Phillies, Pirates, Rangers, Rays, Red Sox, Reds, Rockies, Royals, Senators (all inclusive), Tigers, Twins, White Sox, Yankees. ....the other franchises (like Lady Baldwin of DTW) are also considered unique for this league.

Sometimes the DROP DOWN LIST and the actual cards do not agree, please refer to BASEBALL-REFERENCE.COM if you are not sure. On Opening Night you team must have 24 players (or more) but with ALL UNIQUE CARDS/FRANCHISES.

Again, it's the card you use. EXAMPLE: If you play Bond's SFG card then he counts as your GIANT and you can still pick another PIRATE because his Pirates is not used and will not count. You must maintain this unique roster during the season as well thus, if you drop a player you must pick up a player from a Franchise you are not using. STADIUM: CHOOSE ANY STADIUM YOU WANT - NO RESTRICTIONS

No password, just jump in - should be a very interesting autodraft.

2 down, 10 to go

In the description you list the Senators and Twins separately, but shouldn't they be 1 franchise?

Technically you are correct but for the purposes of this league, I'm going to rule that the TWINS are a unique franchise since they A) did change their name and B) to make it just a touch easier to field a team...but in many leagues you are correct.

The SENATORS will be (INCLUSIVE) of just players who played for a team called the Senators just as all BRAVES consist of teams who played for the BRAVES and A's are all teams who played for the A's.

the ONLY exception (re-reading my rules) is that I made the Orioles / Browns 1 franchise rather than 2. I will not change that now but I would next time. Just makes life easier.

7 down, 5 to go !

We just need two now. This should be fun!
