League Rules
RBI Baseball RulesSTRUCTURE: 12 teams 3 divisions.
PROGRESSION: Classic and real progression will both be used. This will insure no player shortages that often occur when using real progression. Also it will insure that star players that had a lackluster rookie season will still get to utilize their better stats. For those owners who have not participated in this type league. How it will work in 1977 for example will be after Classic progression has been run I'll switch on ability to switch to 1977 stats so you can switch to real stats if you wish. This is done by clicking on the drop down menu of player card if no option comes up for a player then didn't play in 1977 and you'll have to stick with Classic progression for that player.
If a player played a different position it will automatically switch positions when using real stats.
