League Rules
Players - All made up out of my head, starting with players I created before computers were even invented, and I was playing these games using a made-up SIM in my head, on pieces of paper, using the backs of baseball cards, etc. Yes, I have always had a good imagination. And then PC came along, and I had a chance to put all of those childhood memories and old scraps of paper into an organized league. Dream come true. (I can't thank Guy Bacci enough - this is SO much fun!!)Each season, new players are added, copying stats from actual MLB players from that season so that the years are correct. I'll edit those stats as necessary to get each player the way I want him, but always starting with someone from the correct year.
6 Original Teams - Victoria Vikings, Saskatoon Saints, Brandon Golden Bears, Hamilton Dukes, Oshawa Barons, Nova Scotia Voyageurs
Expansion will happen over time, eventually having 32 teams (all Canadian) divided into 2 Leagues and 4 Divisions.

AB-IP Thresholds - No thresholds for playing in the league, but I'll use reasonable stats to keep the games realistic.
Rotation - 5-man Rotation
3 Days Off granted at All-Star Break, which is after Game 90 (give or take, see what makes sense based on the schedule)
1 Day Off granted after Regular Season
1 Day Off granted after Games 2 and 5 of Playoff Series
All-Stars chosen for All-Star Game, to be played each season by Online Dice Sim, similar to how I play All-Star Games for AYL and BNBL.
1st Team All-Stars chosen at end of season. 1 for each fielding position, 1 SP, 1 RP
Playoffs - 1966-19?? - Top 2 teams make playoffs. World Series 7 Games, 2-3-2 Format
