League Rules
League Rules? This league uses real players, real stats, and real progression. Players are eligible for the league if they had 40 real at-bats or pitched 20 real innings in the corresponding year.
? Rookies will be drafted each season. 40ab 20inn minimum
? NNL players will be added to the draft for that years draft. 1920 to 1948.
? Players remain with the team that they join as rookies or until they are traded or dropped.
? In a situation where a player makes no 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.
? The schedule will be generated via the standard PC programed schedules with no days off except for three at the all-star break and the randomly generated days off (See the Schedule section below). Fatigue is used, so some players will need to be rested at times.
? Owners may request pitcher conversions. Any Starter can be converted to a Relief Pitcher. Pitch Count will NOT be changed. Any pitcher under 80 pitch count will be changed to a RP before season starts by commissioner.
? Any Starting Pitcher that has 10 complete games and is under 95 pitch count can be changed.
10 complete games 100 pitch count
11 complete games 110 pitch count
12 complete games 120 pitch count and ect.
Any starting pitcher can qualify
20 plus complete games 140 pitch count
30 plus complete games 160 pitch count
(Owner is responsible for asking)

FAQs
One of the important things to know about this league is homework. Know who is going to be on your roster and who is going to get hurt or retire. It's good to plan at least a couple of seasons in advance. Make a trade if you are going to be short in a position or on pitching. Know when to hold onto someone and who to release if you will be getting an abundance of rookies.
