League Rules
All-Time Greats Black Players Dynasty League1. This league is based on a keeper format using WAR fire leagues. There will be a total of 8 to 10 owners with two divisions.
2. TEAM DETAILS -- You will be able to name your team, select your own logos and ball park details. Please us common sense on naming your teams.
3. DRAFT -- After the league fills, I will select a letter available on the home pages. This letter will be where you will be placed for the random draft. This will only be done for the season 1 draft. The first season draft will be 25 rounds. The rounds for each season after season one will be determined that season. There will be 5 waiver rounds to fill your rosters after game one.
There will be no supplemental draft or free agency in this league.
3. KEEPERS -- Each owner will be able to sign a maximum of 6 players each season. All contracts will have a 3 year max. Players with expiring contracts will NOT be eligible to resign, unless you redraft them during the pre-season draft. There will be no budget ceiling in the league. This is to make sure that your signed players will be yours for the years you sign them too.
4. DUPLICATE PLAYERS-Duplicate players will not be permissible in this league.
5. FINAL ROSTER SIZE -- When the games begin, the roster limit will be set to a final 26. You MUST HAVE AT LEAST 11 POSITIONAL PLAYERS (NON-PITCHERS). If you do not, the commissioner will make changes to your roster in order to play the season. I will look over all the rosters before we sim the first game. We will use a 5 man pitching rotation in this league.
6. SECONDARY POSITIONS--You may use any players secondary position listed without any dwar penalty, this means his defense will stay the same.
7. SLUMP BUSTERS--Slump busters will be limited to 5 games. If a player is eligible, he may be added for additional 5 days and so on.
8. SP TO RP--Because RP were something that wasn't use much in the negro leagues, you can change any SP to RP. His pitch count will be reduced to pitches and is numbers will be reduced to reflect that of a RP.
9. PLAYER MINIMUM STATS--Player minimum stats will be 100 AB for position players, 75 IP for SP and 25 IP for RP.
10. TRADING DEADLINE --Each team will be aloud to 3 trades each season. Trades can consist of no more than two players maximum at one time. The trade dead line will be after game 130 and the Trade Center will close.
11. PLAYER HEALTH --Player fatigue and injuries will NOT be used in this league.
12. SANDBAGGING -- Do not attempt to place players outside of their primary or secondary positions, or you will see a high error rate. A non-catcher playing catcher will allow your opponent to steal bases at will. Sandbag at your own risk!
13. TIEBREAKERS -- This league will use team differential to break all team ties. In the event there is still a tie, then head to head will be used.
14. SCHEDULE AND DAYS OFF -- We will use a 162 game schedule. Teams will be granted 1 day off every 9 games played. There will be 3 days off granted before each level of the play-offs and 1 day off between each home and home series.
15. DIVISIONS--This league will consist of two 4 or 5 team divisions.
16. POST-SEASON -- Play-offs will consist of 2 wild card teams and the conference winner in each Conference. The conference winner will have a bye in the first round. Wild cards series will be 5 games. 2-2-1. All play-off series after wild cards series will be 7 games. 2-3-2. No wild card team after the wild card round will ever be seated as home team in the Division Championship Series or the League Championship Series.
17. PROGRESSION AND STAT CHANGE -- We will use C progression in this league. Players will progress to age 29 and start regression at the age of 32. Because of the various seasons being used in this league, stat change will be limited to 2 players a year. You can't bank you stat changes if you don't use them. It is strictly two players per season. You will have to send a request to me for the stat change and I will make the changes. Your player can only be stat change one season forward at a time. This means if he enters the league with his 1966 stats, his first available stat change season would be 1967.
18. NEXT SEASON --All players without signed contract will be cleared. The draft order for the next season draft will be determined by last season records. The league champion will always draft last. The draft will not be a snake draft. The draft order will draft the same in each round, with the #1 drafting position always drafting first.
👉ELASTIC CLAUSE -- I reserve the right to create new rules as necessary to deal with problems as they arise.
Some leagues use fictional player progression. To learn more about how players progress, check the Player Potential page.
