League Rules

1985 Lingerer League

TEAM CHOICE

In this league you may choose any team for the current year you are playing as long as the team does not already exist in the league. We will be starting in 1985 and the team you choose can have any new players that played on that team for the following year. Duplicates are allowed on different teams, however you cannot have a duplicate player on your own team.

This league allows you to import all new players each year that existed on the roster during that year. You are allowed to keep these players and choose their new stats as years progress. You Must request this option or it becomes a burden on the commissioner to go back and delete duplicate players.

Options:

OPTION A: Importing all duplicate players. This is an interesting option to see how all players compared to the previous year. It is time consuming and only recommended for the baseball enthusiast. If you chose this option, you must delete the year you do not want in a timely fashion or you will be removed from the league.

Option B: - have new players imported only

Option c: no request=no imports


Any player may switch to another team during the off-season and start fresh.

I. EXPECTATIONS

A. It is expected and required that all managers be active in this league. The commissioner tools gives the ability to show how active each team owner is. If you are not going to log on to this league for a long time it may lead to your removal. If you know you're not going to be around for a while, please message the league office and let us know.

As commissioner I will make every attempt to reach out to inactive owners prior to removal, but will act on behalf of the league when necessary.


If you're INACTIVE for 14 days, I'll Remove you from the league. This minimizes the FUN. Learn to browse leagues before you jump in them. If you want to join, stay active.
