League Rules
League is based on the 1938 season.1) You get your imports each season. Team rosters will be 26/8, for a total of 34.
2) Each spring, the imports of the undrafted teams go into the free agent pool for a draft, number of rounds to be determined. You will be asked to cut a number of players from your 34-man roster equal to the number of rounds of the draft.
3) Classic progression will be used. Full imports (AB>99, IP>34). Draft of free agents. 99 trades per season. Starting 1948: stat changes allowed with same playing time requirements as imports.
4) 162 game season. 4-man rotation. 8 teams make the playoffs, using the method described below.
5) No duplicate players allowed in this league: duplications will be resolved by putting the player on the team where they played the most that season, in terms of AB or IP. Duplicates will not be imported. It is the duty of each owner to ensure they receive all their players through imports. After the first pitch of the season, any unfiled complaints will be deemed to have been waived.
6) General Rules: Each offseason, you can switch a SP to RP based on need. You can switch a player’s primary and secondary positions if they played 50% or more games THAT season at their secondary position, or at least a third of their games for their career at their secondary position.
7) Playoffs: 8(!) teams make the playoffs. In the best of 3 round, 5 hosts 8, and 6 hosts 7. Reseed. In the best of 5 round, 3 hosts 6, and 4 hosts 5. Reseed. Next round (best of 7), 1 hosts 4, 2 hosts 3. The survivors play in the World Series (best of 7).
Ties: If teams tie for a playoff spot:
⇒ If both teams would be “in”, use head to head record as a tiebreaker. 2nd tiebreaker: run differential. 3rd tiebreaker: I will make an arbitrary decision.
⇒ If one is in, the other is out, 1 game playoff (@ head 2 head winner)
8) After the draft, the remaining free agents will be made available via waivers.
