We are ready for the Central Division teams to enter openings 5, 6, 7, and 8.
1. Please enter your member name next to number of your choice.
2. Your team's name must be selected from your list of teams, no combinations or abbreviation of names are allowed.
3. Please select your team's home park from the list of different stadiums available for your clubs.
Your team and your home park do not have to be the same, as long as your park is selected from your list of teams.
4. Your managers name should reflect a former or current manager of one of your teams.
5. Please fill out your draft list with players that have played in one or more games during their major league career with one of the teams from your selected franchise.
Many times the Strat-O-Matic players card has only a few seasons listed and may not have all the eligible teams for a particular player. You will have to do your homework...
Baseball Reference is a very detailed website, I think you will find it helpful with your research.
6. The Negro League cards are not available until waiver claims 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 that do not meet the eligibility requirements then please release the highest priced Negro League card first from your roster before any other.
7. After the draft if you have a player that is eligible for your club and is also eligible for another franchise in the league and the same is true for the player your acquiring then a trade prior to the waivers is allowed.
A trade involving a player that is eligible for only one club for another player that is eligible for only one club is no longer allowed, I would prefer that everyone spend the time creating a detailed waiver acquisition list as opposed to trading players that are going to end up on their rightful roster regardless if they are traded or not traded.
Remember that you can not benefit from trading a player that is not eligible to play on your roster,
these cards must be released during waiver acquisitions.
8. 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.
We ask that everyone place at least two waiver claims for each player on your roster that is not eligible to play for your club. You can choose a less expensive free agent option to improve the odds that your claim will be processed and this will help to assure that your roster will be in compliance immediately after waivers.
By following the waiver guidelines we are hoping to create a first come, first severed free agent pool with all the players that are eligible for your club being available immediately after the waiver claims are processed.
9. Players injured during a series must serve the the entirety of the injury or if you choose you may release player into free agency. If your player is eligible for other teams they must acquire card showing the current injury, after injury is completed then all seasons are available.
10. 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.
