League Rules
ELIGIBILITY- Hitters – minimum 100 plate appearances
- Pitchers – minimum of 15 games OR 35 innings pitched
You may draft players outside these parameters, but they cannot be used in a BFSBL game unless they meet eligibility rules
FREE AGENCY
Baseline roster size is 30 players (Majors and Minors),10 retained + 20 drafted each year); 25 player active roster (Majors); you may have more than 30 players if acquired via extra draft picks or trade
Free agency signing:
- Stage 1: Preseason. All owners sign retained and drafted players
- Stage 2: Preseason. Owners who didn't make picks in all 20 rounds may sign players to complete their roster up to a maximum of 30. These signees may be retained [Chris to confirm?]
- Stage 3: Preseason. If you entered the draft with <20 picks because of trade(s), you may sign additional players up to a maximum of 30. These signees may NOT be retained.
- Stage 4: In season: Free agents may be signed to cover for players lost to injury or roster imbalances arising from trades. Temporary replacements should be released once the injured player is healthy. These signees may NOT be retained for the next season.
