Excellent.
bontomn - Your team name should be New York Yankees, New York Highlanders, or New York Mets
Ironwill1 - Your team name should be Cincinnati Reds, Cincinnati Redlegs, Cincinnati Red Stockings, Philadelphia Phillies, or Philadelphia Quakers.
We are ready for Central Division teams to enter spaces 5, 6, 7, and 8....
1. Please enter your member name next to franchise of your choice below.
2. If you wish to change the name of your franchise to one of your minor league affiliates you may do so however the team name must be the actual name of one of your major league clubs. Here is an example: If your a Baltimore Orioles fan and prefer Baltimore Orioles in place of Boston Americans, Boston Red Sox, or St Louis Browns you may change your franchise name.
3. Please select your team's home park from the list of stadiums where home games were played during your selected franchise or affiliates team's history.
4. Your managers name should reflect a former manager of your one of your franchises.
5. Fill out your draft list with players that have played during their major league career with one or more of the teams listed in your organization, please do not select Negro League players, Negro League cards are not available until waiver selections are made with the exception if they have played a regular season game with one of the major league teams you have chosen to enter into league. If you have more than one Negro League card after draft please release the highest priced Negro League card first from your roster before any other.
6. If you have a player that is eligible for your club as well as another franchise in the league and the same is true for the player your acquiring then a trade prior to the waivers is allowed. You can not benefit from trading a player that shouldn't be on your roster and is not eligible to play on your roster, they must be released during waiver acquisitions. Remember you can not trade a player who is not eligible to play for one of your franchises even if your acquiring a player card who may be eligible.
7. I know you can only release one player before waivers however all roster discrepancies are easily corrected with the players that are not eligible for your club being listed as player to be released into free agency during the waiver process which occurs two days after draft at 5:00 PM Eastern.
8. Please understand that the Strat-O-Matic Card has only a few seasons listed and may not have all the eligible teams listed for a particular player. There are several baseball websites that will list a players career statistics and their teams history, you will have to do your homework.
9. The league will load teams based on division beginning with the Eastern Division, if your selection is a Central Division club you will enter league in openings 5, 6, 7, and 8, if your a Western Division club, you have to wait until slots 9, 10, 11, or 12 are available before joining league.
10. The Salary Cap is 250 Million and Password is MLB5.
One detail I left out that is important, if your team has a player injured he is out the duration of the injury. You have the option of releasing card into free agency and picking up another player but you may risk losing card if injured player is eligible for another club.
