Final Rules For The League Here

Commish........could you please put the final rules for the league here. That way we dont have to look all over the place for all of them. Also i was thinking if you could decide on the final ruling on all the rules by like Wed./Thurs. so that we all know them and have a few days to memorize them before we do the draft. Also could you write down what day the draft will be and what time.


Please no one else write in this section so it doesnt get all confusing.


thank you

The rules are as follows:

1. Trades- The trades will not be under administer approval but will instead be given a league vote. The trade will need at least 20 teams to approve it and the trade deadline will be the same day as in the baseball season(for players rated 80 or above meaning only prospects can be traded after the trade deadline).

2. Season- The season will be as stated earlier 162 games with all 30 teams. The schedule will be placed on the league website a week prior to the games and sent to all league members through Xbox Live. The games will not need to be played on that schedule, but must be done by the beginning of the next week of the corresponding game. it will be under the responsibility of the managers of the teams to schedule the time they will play the game. IMPORTANT- ANY TEAM PLAYING LESS THAN 140 GAMES WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY DISQUALIFIED FROM PLAYOFFS.

3. Beginning- The season will begin on opening day.

All other rules are based directly off of major league baseball(strikes and balls can be thrown at any time, dh played at AL ballparks). This league is SWING STICK ONLY and the right analog stick pitching system MUST BE USED AT ALL TIMES. Because the game comes out a month before the season starts, all managers should have plenty of time to get used to the new control scheme. Only join this league if you are truly devoted and want to have a lot of fun. REMEMBER- THE YANKEES ARE TAKEN. Thanks for considering this league as yours for the 2008 season.

All of the teams in the league will have to have a legitimate 5 man pitching rotation. This is mainly because if your ace gets injured in April, noone can complain that their entire season is shot. A five man rotation will need to be submitted to the league forum after the draft so that people can play the season in the most realistic way possible and so that everyone has a fair chance to practice against the pitcher. As for the only relievers can relieve thing, this is valid UNTIL THE PLAYOFFS BEGIN. In the playoffs when one game can send you home, you may use your starters as relievers at your own risk because if you wear them out they will still need 4 days to recuperate so I wouldn't recommend that. I only say this because I have seen starting pitchers be used as relievers in the playoffs. And because this is a close to sim league, we will play it this way. The rotation and starting lineup against AL Righty, AL Lefty, NL Righty, NL Lefty will be put in the teams/members section where I will create a topic for each team. It is there that they will put all information about their team including lineup, rotation, trading block, injuries, record, etc.

Infield Starters are limited to the position the game puts them in Outfield starters can play anywhere in the outfield.

The live draft will be done on March 9th. Whether or not the draft will be done on cbs or 2ksports.com is unknown or what time.

The draft will be done on March 9th on the 2ksports website. I don't know what time it should be however.
