Disabled List
•
•
•
The Disabled List allows you to carry up to two
injured players without losing a roster spot. When
a MLB team puts a player on the DL, you are
eligible to put that player on your DL the next day.
When the player comes off the DL in MLB, you
have 7 days from that day to take that player off
your DL.
If the player is not removed by the 8th day since
coming off the DL, the player will be waived. NO
EXCEPTIONS! If you cannot pay attention to
when a player is coming off the DL and you don’t
want to lose that player, then don’t put that player
on your DL.
A DL move can be made at any time. When you
take him off the DL, you can either waive
someone outright or put someone else that is
eligible for the DL in his place.
Trades
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Once two teams agree on the trade then each
person must submit the trade to the
web site. If the trade is not identical it does
not go through.
There is no trading limit. No cash or player to be
named later trades will be allowed.
There will be a 20 person Trade Committee that
will vote on every trade submitted. Trades with
more positive votes then negative votes will go
through. The Commissioner does NOT have the
power to overturn the Trade Committee’s
decisions.
You MUST waive a player if your roster is going
to exceed the 29 player limit.
You are not allowed to trade player just received
that week.
Trades that are voided will not be allowed to be
reworked for that week.
The Trading Deadline is during week 14.
Wins and Losses
•
•
•
Your total score for the week is compared to the
total score for the 3 teams you played. Those you
outscored by 50, you sweep 3-0, those that
outscored you by 50, sweep you 3-0. If those
situations do not apply, then the higher scoring
team wins the series 2-1.
The winner in case of a tie will be the team with
the highest scoring player.
If the highest scoring player is also tied, the winner
is the team with the 2nd highest scoring player. If
the two teams are still tied then the winner is the
team with the 3rd highest, etc.
•
The first week of the season, each team plays two
4-game series and one 1-game series. The same
rules apply but when there is a tie in the 4 game
series, then the series is split 2-2.
Waivers/Free Agents
•
•
•
•
You can pick up ONLY two players per week.
For each round of pickups, if two teams want the
same player, the team with the worst record gets
him, with the tiebreaker being the lowest average.
If a player is waived to complete a trade or waived
in round 1 transactions, he is available to be
picked up the same week. If a player is waived for
a transaction for round 2, he is not available to be
picked up until the following week.
Transactions can be made through the League
Finals. For the playoffs, a transaction period will
be available during the second week of the 1st and
2nd round for ALL teams.

Playoffs
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
After 18 weeks of play, the top team in each
division and the top team that did not win the
divisions advance to the playoffs.
If two teams have the same win total, the
tiebreaker is scoring average, then head to head
record., then pitching average.
The team with the best record plays the wild card
team . The other two teams play each other with
the conference winner being the highest seed.
They play during weeks 19 and 20.
The higher seed gets 1 point per difference in total
scoring average before the playoff round starts if
they have a better record.
A wild card team cannot have homefield over a
division winner even if they have the better
average.
If the team with the higher seed has the worst
average, there is no advantage for either team.
If two teams are tied after the two weeks the
winner is the team with the highest contributing
player over the 2 weeks. If still tied, then second
highest, etc.
The two teams play during weeks 21-22 of the
season with the highest scorer declared champion
of the league and advances to the Super
Tournament.

The regular season is 18 weeks. The playoffs and
Super Tournament are the following 6 weeks.
There are no games or transactions during the AllStar Week.
In the continuous leagues, the 4 playoff teams
keep 10, the 4 middle records keep 11, and the
bottom 4 records keep 12. The redraft is done by
a daily pickup for 17 days during March of the
following year.
The pick order for the redraft will be based on
team records through week 12. This will prevent
teams from trying to “tank” to get a better pick
position. If a team makes the playoffs they will
automatically pick between 9-12.
Tanking
•
•
•
•
Losing on purpose or “Tanking” will not be
permitted under ANY circumstances.
Negligence is not tanking. If someone is not
paying attention and doesn’t make lineup changes,
it is not considered tanking.
If someone is caught blatantly tanking, they will
be penalized and will not be able to change their
lineup for the rest of the season.
It is up to the members of each league to monitor
and make sure that no one is trying to lose on
purpose.
Draft
•
•
•
The draft will consist of 29 rounds in which each
team picks once per round.
The team that picks first in the 1st round picks
first in the 3rd, 5th, 7th, etc. and picks last in the
2nd, 4th, 6th, etc.
The draft order is determined by random envelope
selection. There is no cost for the phone draft.
Player Positions
•
•
•
Each player’s single position for which he is
eligible is determined before the draft.
If a hitter plays 5 games at an additional position,
then he is also eligible to play that position the
following week.
If a pitcher has 3 or more starts, then he is eligible
as a starting pitcher. If a pitcher has 5 or more
relief appearances, then he is eligible as a reliever.

Hitting Line-up
National Ranking Prizes
•
Each division plays 22 games against teams in
their division and 12 games against teams outside
their division for a total of 162 games played.
•
Every week your hitting line-up includes:
C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, 3 OF’s, 1 DH (does not have to
be a DH).
•
•
•
•
Each team starts up to 7 First Backups:
z Backup Catcher
z Backup 1B
z Backup 2B
z Backup SS
z Backup 3B
z Backup Outfielder
z Backup DH (doesn’t have to be a DH)
You can also start Second Backups, Third Backups,
and Fourth Backups at the 7 positions.
Backups are not required at all 28 positions.
Pitching Line-up
There are 4 lineup formations that can be used in your
pitching lineup:
z 10 starts, no relievers.
z 8 starts, 1 reliever.
z 7 starts, 2 relievers.
z 5 starts, 3 relievers.
Each week you rank your starting pitchers in order of
preference. You also designate what formation you
want for the week. After the week is over, the
starters on your staff fill the allotted starts based on
the ranking you chose before the week started.
For example, at the start of the week, Pedro Martinez
is your 1st pitcher, Chris Carpenter is your 2nd,Roy
Halladay is your 3rd, etc. Martinez pitches twice this
week. So therefore, his 2 starts are your 1st and 2nd
starts for the week. Carpenter pitches once so therefore
his start is the 3rd start. Halladay pitches twice so his
starts are the 4th and 5th. This process proceeds until
all the starts are filled.
If only one more start is needed and the pitcher it
falls to pitches twice, the average score rounded
down counts as the last start.
If you chose a formation involving relievers, you
rank your relievers in order of preference before the
week starts. The reliever has no limitations on
games played or points scored.
If a pitcher does not play for the week, it falls to the
next pitcher on your list. This applies to starters and
relievers.
PLEASE NOTE: Any appearance made by a pitcher
listed as a starter will count as a start. So be wary of
pitchers who might get relief appearances.

Weekly Scoring
•
•
•
•
For each of the starting hitters, 7 games count or if
more than 7 games played, then the average
multiplied by 7 rounded down.
If the starter does not play 7 games, the backup
player fills in as follows:
If the backup player plays more games than games
needed by the starter, then you divide the total points
of the backup player by the number of games played
and insert the average for each game needed
the total points of the backup player by the number
of games played and insert the average for each game
needed.
For example, Johnny Damon, Barry Bonds, and
Andruw Jones are your outfielders. Damon and Jones
played in 6 games and Bonds played in 5 games.
The 3 outfielders totaled 17 games out of the 21
needed. Your backup outfielder, Vernon Wells played
in 6 games and scored a total of 16 points. (An
average of 2.66 per game) Since Vernon Wells played
more games than games needed, Wells scores (21
gms-17 gms=4 gms needed X 2.66=10.64 rounded
down to 10 backup points).
