Welcome to the Auto League

Auto Leagues are seasons that last about two months (baseball) or one month (basketball & football). Baseball and Baksetball sim about 2-3 games per day, while Football sims one game per day. Since this league is run with essentially no commissioner, there is a trade limit. Please be reasonable with your transactions, and report any bad owners using the feedback form.

League Status:
Season underway. Next sim around 1/25/2025 4:28 PM PT.

Draft Type:
Quick Draft

Owners Joined:
12 of 12
You can draft your team as soon as you sign up! You will select any franchise that has not already been selected. You'll build your roster based on a budget. (The Draft link appears on the league homepage and your team page when you are signed in.)

When you draft, you must meet the minimum roster requirements to avoid getting removed from the league, but you can draft more players than the minimum if you have budget left over.

NO TRADE LEAGUE
This is a special format with NO TRADES. The idea is to play with franchise players. In baseball only, there will be some low-quality free agents to account for injuries. Please be sure to read the League Rules for further details!
This is NOT a keeper league, so once your team's season is over, you can stay in this league and re-draft next season, or quit and join a new Auto League.
When do games start?
After all teams have an owner and have drafted, the games will begin. You will get an email after the first game notifying you that the league has started.

What time are games played?
Barring any issues with the servers, games are auto-simmed 2 or 3 times a day, starting as early as 1:00am and ending as late as 11:00pm Pacific Time. Users can sim games from the My League List page every eight hours. This allows the league to keep moving if the server has issues or the participants in the league want to move the season along slightly faster than the auto sims allow. There will always be at least eight hours between games so managers can react if desired.

Can I customize my team?
Yes! You can change your team name, logo, and more via the "Owner Console" on your "My Team" page before the season begins and up until the 5th game of the season.

World Series and post-season
Division winners and three wild card reach the post-season. Owners can leave the league once their team is elimnated, or wait until the playoffs are over and re-draft the next season.

I'm always eager to here what you enjoy or think can be improved with the site, so stay in touch via the feedback form and follow site updates on the news & notes page.

I have changed my opinion of the HoF over the years. I used to think it was this elite club that only the players that met some measuring stick should be included. The reality is that version of the Hall stopped existing more than 50 years. It was at least when Frankie Frisch made sure all his buddies were added but it probably had already stopped existing before that even.

I now see the HoF as a museum that exists to celebrate the game of baseball. To do that, it needs to always be honoring new people that added something to the game. I am not sure I would have included Wagner, but I do not really have a problem with CC. I also do not believe there is anything actually special about "first ballot". I do think that is an easy way to describe a player, and I agree that CC was not a "first ballot" by the criteria of whether he was a no-doubt about it player like Ichiro. Inducting him on the first ballot is more a reflection of the year a player first appears.

I am now in the camp of adding more players and I really hope the Hall finds a way to make sure all the players that did not get a fair look because they came on during a crowded ballot get a fresh look. I previously mentioned Whitaker, Lofton and Santana. I think they all deserve to be included in the Hall but if nothing else they at least deserve to be considered. They all fell off the ballot via fluke of the years they came on. I would also like to see Murphy, Tiant and many others keep getting a look but at least they have all had their cases heard a few times. I do think Tiant would have been an easy inductee if he did not happen to appear on the ballot during a run of all time great starters. Had he been on the ballot around the time Catfish was elected I think he would have easily made it.

I am 100% in favor of adding Bonds, Clemens and ARod and I would not be against McGwire, Sosa and Manny either.
