League Rules

⚾OVERVIEW
The first objective is to reach the top spot—the Top Dog position—and to stay there. Teams play five game sets against the other team in their division. Every five games teams move up or down and a new team gets a chance to take on the Top Dog. If they can win three games, they will be the Top Dog until another team takes them down.

The second objective is to be one of the two teams to compete for the championship after every 100 games played or 20, 5-game series. One of the two teams will be the current Top Dog; the other will be the team who held the Top Dog position the most number of total weeks during that 100-game stretch.
