League Rules
Four Score FracasThe league will consist of 8 owners and will last for 8 seasons. Each season owners will manage a team of players from a notable season from a specific decade.There will be a point system in place to determine an overall champion. Points will be awarded for position in standings, playoff success and individual awards (MVP, Cy Young).
Owners will draft their teams from the available player pool. Each season a different player pool from a notable season in a different decade will be used. The first player pool will come from the 1930s. Each season will move to the next decade....the final one will come from the 2000s
Commissioner: rainman
Co-Commissioner: jmnihon3327
Feel free to contact either of us should you have any questions or concerns.
ROSTERS:
A snake draft will be run each season. Each season will have a different group of players. Rosters will have 23 major league spots and three minor league spots.
DRAFT ORDER
Once the league is filled, the commissioner will run a random number generator to determine draft position.
The order will remain the same throughout. Each new draft, the preceding owner to have first choice will be dropped to eighth and all others move up one spot. By the end of the fracas everyone will have equaled out on positioning.
RINGERS
In addition to the regular player pool, there will be an additional eight players available...I call them the ringers. These players arguably had the finest position at their position outside of this league's main time frame.
Ringers will be drafted anew each season. Ringers will use the draft order in reverse and will be selected prior to the regular draft. The draft order for ringers will change each season to mirror the regular draft positions.
TRADING:
The ability to trade will be turned on until game 120. Trades will be monitored for fairness and to prevent collusion.
SIM SPEED:
Sims will run every three hours.
SLUMP BUSTER:
Slump buster has been set to last 10 calendar days.
INJURY & FATIGUE SETTINGS:
The maximum amount of time a player can be injured is eight games.
Fatigue has been turned on.
EDIT TEAM DETAILS:
This function will be turned on throughout. PPease use proper discretion with team names and logos.
POINT SYSTEM
Points will decide the overall champion after eight seasons.
As follows:
REGULAR SEASON STANDINGS
First place- 14
Second place- 12
Third place- 10
Fourth place - 8
Fifth place- 6
Sixth place - 4
Seventh place - 2
Eighth place - 0
World Series Champ - 3
Wild Card Playoff Winner - 1
MVP and Cy Young Awards - 1 point
In the event of a tie among non-playoff teams, points will be added together and divvied out equally. Example: a two way tie for 4th- 8 points are awarded for 4th, 6 points for 5th. 8+6=14....14÷2=7
Both teams get 7 points.
For playoff spots, head to head record will be the first tie breaker, overall run differential will be used if head to head is tied.
In the event of a tie at the end of the entire league, an entire season will be played by the tied teams to determine the overall champion. The player pool for this event is yet to be determined.
PLAYOFFS:
The overall first place team gets a bye. Team 2 plays team 3 in a best of 7 game series for the right to play team 1 in the World Series. The World Series will be a best of 7.
Some leagues use fictional player progression. To learn more about how players progress, check the Player Potential page.
