HERE ARE THE RULES FOR THE NEW OWNERS.

the rules are simple:

1. Each owner chooses a franchise. Franchise draft order is in inverse order of win percentage from the previous season for non-playoff teams, then inverse order of win percentage of non-World Series playoff teams, with the WS runner-up picking 23rd, and the WS champ choosing last. New owners will be assigned the draft position of any previous owners who are not returning, with the first to sign up receiving the highest slot, and so on. Division alignment will be determined randomly after team selection is complete.

2. Each owner chooses five players he/she wishes to protect from that franchise (1975-present) and submits that list via sitemail to me. Those players are the exclusive property of their respective owners.

3. After all lists are submitted, they will be posted and a three round modified Rule V draft will be held, with draft order being inverse order of each franchise's Rule V win percentage through all legs from last 25 versions (v66 thru v91) (the worst teams pick first). Many thanks to schwarze for compiling this data. Each owner selects one unprotected player from any active franchise but their own (player seasons for franchises that were not chosen are not eligible). That player is also theirs exclusively. No more than two players may be taken from any one franchise in any one round.

4. At the end of the first and second rounds, each owner will choose an additional player they wish to protect. You will end up protecting seven in all, while drafting three. These ten players must appear on your roster. The rest of the roster is filled by players from your franchise during the given time period (1975-present).

5. **Division Alignment will be based on historical league W-L% (from seasons 66-91), with the worst 4 teams selected being placed in the NL East and the best 4 teams selected being placed in the AL West.

$120 Million Cap
No trades
No WW
No DH in odd number seasons (of the league). Yes to DH in even number seasons (of the league). We are starting Season 92 - there will be a DH in Season 92.
No AAA


No clones (same player, same franchise - if a player played for more than one franchise, he is available once for each franchise).

If a player split time between multiple teams in a season (as listed at WIS) he is is available once for each team.

Stadium must have been used by your franchise for at least one full season between 1975 and present.

Tiebreaker for draft positions will be run differential from the previous season, worse differential picks first.

*New Rule - SHOHEI OHTANI RULE - Shohei Ohtani will be considered 2 players, he can be drafted 1 as a hitter, and 1 as a pitcher. If an Angels/Dodgers owner wants both of him, he will count as 2 keepers.
