Vets are preferred.

A Country Divided Theme League Rules
1. Sign Up as "left" or "right" placing yourself in a Division. Two lefts and two rights in each Division.
2. You may play as either. For example, if one side fills up quickly and there's spots left that's not your party preference, but you still want to play, you can.
3. Park Choice: Those from the left picks a park from teams who play their home games "left" of the Mississippi River, and those from the right obviously from a team "right" of the Miss. River. Busch and Target Field are excluded due to being "on" the Miss. River. Stadiums do not have to be unique.
4. Roster requirements: Lefts must roster players that lean "left" and Rights must roster players that lean "right". There's a couple of exceptions below. A lefty leaning hitter for example is someone who is 1L, 2L, etc. Conversely a righty leaning hitter is someone who is 1R, 2R, etc. A pitcher is the same.
5. Each team is allowed two (2) "defectors". A defector is a player that doesn't correspond to rule 4. IOW, A left could have (2) righty leaning players and a right (2) lefty leaning. The two defectors must be one hitter and one pitcher. Cannot be two hitters or two pitchers
6. Each team is allowed two (2) "Independents". An independent is a player (hitter or pitcher) that is "E", or no slant. The two independents must be one hitter and one pitcher as well.
7. Every team will obviously get in the autodraft ineligible players. These guys must be dropped ASAP either during waivers or right after waivers. These players can be traded after the autodraft process and before waivers. After waivers, however, the players must be dropped and dropped ASAP as previously mentioned. After waivers, during pre-season and all season you may trade only with your fellow Lefts and Rights. A left couldn't trade any of his defectors to a right team for example.
8. You may have less than two defectors or independents if you so desire.
9. Your team name should fit the theme.
10. Signups below. Vets Preferred.
