League Rules

Western Conference NBA Progressive/Regressive League.

? This league uses real players, real stats, and real progression.

The league will start with the 1975 and 2021 rosters preloaded. We will then progress (move forward 1 season) the 1975 players and regress (move back 1 season) the 2021 players. This will then continue each season. Because some players go back a season, the commissioner will have to take over ownership of each team at some point in the offseason to move players to their correct season.

? There will be no supplemental or FA draft in this league.

? Players remain with the team that they join as rookies until they are traded, dropped or retire. There are no contracts in this league.

? In a situation where a player has no career appearances, then has a year or more "retired" (i.e. not enough "real" stats to qualify for this league) and returns in a future season based on real stats with another team, the player will go to the latter team. In order to keep from losing a player in this situation, teams need to give the player at least one appearance so that there will be a record of this on his player card. If a team fails to do this, they can send a message to the commissioner regarding the player before player progression removes the player from their roster.

? Player injuries will NOT used in this league.

Rosters

? Team selection will be done by a random pre season draft with each owner selecting their franchise when they turn to draft come available.

? Teams may have up to 15 players on the roster with 3 being inactive or the teams taxi squad.

? The taxi squad is limited to 3 inactive players.

? Schedules and Play-offs

All seasons will be 88 games. After the season, the top 8 teams will be seated for the play offs.

If there is a tie for a post-season spot at the end of the season, a one-game playoff will be held between the teams with the team who had the most points scored getting home-field advantage.
The highest team seated will be the home team in all games. Home court goes to the team with most wins, if there is a tie, it goes to the team with the most points scored.

? Trading is unlimited.

? Whenever an owner feels that a completed trade is unreasonable, he may request a review of the trade by sending a private message to the commissioner (within 24 hours of the trade). The commissioner will then inform the owners who made the trade so that they can explain their rationale for making the trade. The trade, as well as any explanations, will be evaluated by the commissioner and may be put up to a league vote. At least 8 of the other 12 owners would then have to vote no to reverse the trade.

? The sims will be set to run every 3 hours.

? Players may be dropped at any time.
