League Rules
UNIVERSEPlayer universe is 2010 to 2019. You draft a player and he?s yours, no one else can draft him.
The system automatically assigns a season to that player, most likely his best. However you can select another year for that player at any time during the season.
DRAFT
Your primary drafting objective is to draft the best nine positions including DH plus a starting pitching rotation and strongest relief pitching. 26 total players, with a maximum of 14 batters and a maximum of 14 total pitchers.
MINORS
Over the course of the season you can draft an additional 8 players to your minor league.
WAIVERS
Up to 4 players or pitchers can be selected after each
SIM
2 to 4 games will be simulated (sim or simmed) at any one time, typically one sim per week day.
SCHEDULE
162 game schedule is automatically set up by the system per team. Given we will run 2 to 4 games per day, the season should complete in about 40 days.
OPTIONS
Get into another custom league if you have time, one that is currently in its season. This way you can look at the different options available to your team. I sent screen shots of one of my other teams in the B1 Whatsapp window where you can control players pinch hitting, stealing bases, set a batting order for left or right handed pitching etc.
KEEPERS or CONTRACTS
I expect we will tweak the set up and details of the league as we move through our first season. If we like things we can assign keepers to year 2 and beyond. The site also allows for contracts to be assigned to players.
PLAYOFFS: division winners (2) + 4 wild cards. 4 will cards playoff 1 vs 4, 2 vs 3 in a best of 3. Winners advance to best of 5 vs division winner. World series is best of 7.
Draft order the following season will be last place = first pick, second last place = 2nd pick etc.
Some leagues use fictional player progression. To learn more about how players progress, check the Player Potential page.
