4. Player adds - turned off. Use players in minors to substitute for needed replacements. There will be no supplemental draft or FA's in this league.

5. Player drops- turned on during pre-season until after game 33 of pre-season. This is to allow teams to reduce teams to 25 active max and 25 minors max.

6. Sims -- Commissioner will sim 6 games per day during Regular Season (9 am, 1 pm, 4 pm, 6 pm, 8 pm, and 10 pm). During the playoffs sims can be as high as 7 per day with the addition of a 9 pm sim.

7. Days Off -- After Game 66 there is a 2 day break. 2 Game days rest for each team. After Game 132, there is a 2-day break to prepare for the playoffs. Between each Round of the playoffs there will be 2 game days off per team. When teams shift home locations during each round there will be a 1 game day off per team for travel. The days rest between starting pitcher starts is 3 days which enables a team's number one pitcher to pitch in games 1,4, and 7.

8. Tiebreakers -- Head to head and then power ranking (if more than two teams involved then just power ranking)

9. Roster size -- 25 active (from 9-10-11-12 pitchers and 16-15-14-13 position players) and up to 25 in the minors.

**You choose One AL team and One NL team from 1994 to 2019.
**You get two HOF players (1 batter and 1 pitcher) of your choice. If your first pick of HOF is Pitcher, then your next must be a Batter.
**1 HOF player must be from AL and the other one from NL.

If your first team is an AL team, then you will be placed in the AL Division. Once 6 teams are placed in either AL or NL Division, the remaining owners must go into the opposite Division. That is once NL gets 6 teams, then remaining owners must pick AL teams in round one. Round two you must pick team from the same league. You should end up with one team from NL and one from AL.
