We are good to go
The following teams did not get picked:
Athletics, Cubs, Phillies, Colt 45's, Indians, Senators, Angels, Mets. That means that if you shared a player with those teams and only those teams you’ve won the SOM version of the lottery and have exclusive rights to them. Players that played for those teams only have now ceased to exist. Sorry Reggie, Catfish, Santo, Fergie, Seaver, Staub and Dick Allen...this league is not for you.
Our League Guidelines for the inaugural 60’s Season:
1. Every player on your roster must have at least 1 yr carded to your franchise throughout the season.
2. Salary cap $100M
3. Format is No DH
4. Waivers 5/10/20
5. Using the Superstar Sixties Mystery set
6. Team names, please use your franchises city and mascot
7. Pick the 60's Stadium of your franchise (only Braves have a choice)
8. Your Core4 that you want (you don't have to have them all) should be at the bottom of your auto draft list. If you leave a Core4 player off your auto draft list they can be picked up during waivers by the other carded club.
9. Also your auto draft should consist of a minimum of 5 Core5 players, at the bottom as well.
10. Minimum 3 season commit, ideally we play 3 seasons in each decade rolling with your chosen franchise the whole way.
11. Trades are allowed but all players involved must be carded to those franchises
12. Core5 = Players that all 5 yrs on their card are for one franchise. These players are assigned to their franchise and cannot be used by any other franchise.
13. No limit on roster size, SOM guidelines of 24-28
14. Core4 = Players that have 4 of the 5 yrs with one franchise. These players cannot be auto drafted by any other franchise but their Core4 franchise, BUT are available to be picked up or traded for by the other franchise they are carded to.

Now for the keeper side of the equation. I'd like to mirror real franchises as much as possible so 20 keepers per season. Also I always thought that the revolving door that exists in the Mystery leagues where you drop Yaz or Gibson on their 'worst' years was an unfortunate side effect to the format...so as a motivator to keep those guys, any Core5 or Core4 players dropped cannot be on your roster the next season.
I’ll post the league here tonight. Ask questions, better now than later.
Thanks for participating
