This season's rules

100M CAP YES DH (in EVEN numbered years we use a 90M CAP with NO DH)
No WW, Trades, Clones
6/6 average AAA
Teams Assigned By Random Drawing
Standard WIS OL Format: 6 divisions of 4 teams each, interleague play, WC in both leagues

This season we will drop the SIX worst teams (by RL winning percentage) and the divisions will be realigned according to the winning percentage the teams had that year. We will consider expansion in the future. By a 2/3 vote Colorado has been permanently banned from being in the rotation. Impossible to compete with a crap pitching staff.

This is a standard twist league, which means you can use anyone who played for your team that season according to baseeball-Reference.com. You can use any season of their career as long as they made at least one appearance for your team in 2008. You can use any player from the WIS database under $250K to fill out your roster.

You must use the stadium your team played in for that season

I'll waitlist.
11/25/2025 11:16 PM
We're full!

23 of the 24 owners returning, so just one new spot which goes to DJTaylor. joerat1 and lastinspace2, I'll keep you on the waitlist for next season in case a spot opens and you're still interested.

I'll get someone to randomize our order soon and post the Team Assignments then.

Note that with Colorado (#6) dropped, I moved everyone from 7 to 25 up a spot. I'll have someone give me a 1-to-24 random number list, apply it to owners in alphabetical order, and then I'll use these numbers for the team assignments.
