Roster Management Rules
The following steps will be used in order for the
player(s) involved:
1. The player will be placed in AAA.
2. If a player needs to be placed on the 40-man
roster to be assigned to AAA and there is no room on
the 40-man roster, the player will be RELEASED.
3. If the player refuses assignment to AAA, the
player will be placed on the Active Roster. If there
is no room on the Active Roster, the Player will
then be RELEASED.
You must maintain a 25-man roster of at least 23
players, if you fail to do so you will receive a
A WARNING and will continue to do so after each
Sim until you bring that number back up to at least
23 players.
After a player is completely healed and has (0)
days left, he must be removed from the DL before the
followingSim the player remains on the DL.
You must use at least a 5-man rotation through
the regular season (only exception is September)
If you go two weeks without checking into the
Forum you willbe missing on a lot of things since the MESSAGE BOARD
IS OUR WAY OF COMMUNICATIONS.
Contract Extension Rules
FIST THERE WILL BE NO SIGNING UNTIL MAY 15TH
The maximum number of years you may sign a player
to a contract to is 4 years. Unless he requests more
and then you may only offer the number of years he
is asking.
These number of days these are set to is equal the
length of two Sims, which is generally 14 days.
Meaning that you will always have a chance to pull
back a Player with Revocable Waivers.
1. Lowest Level Teams get priority on the
Players, which will then be decided by record from
the previous season until we get 30 games into the
current season, then it will be decided by current
record.
2. If two teams with the same record in the same
Level claim the same Player, the priority will be
determined by last years record, then randomly.
3. Claimed Players will be put on the proper Team
after the next Sim if he is not pulled back (an
option with Revocable Waivers) by the Team waiving
him.
Waiver Rules
There will be three Waiver Periods as follows
(League Dates):
1) March 3rd to June 1st
2) June 2nd to July 27th (Trade Deadline)
3) July 28th to March 2nd (Pre-Season)
During a Waiver Period, if a player clears
Waivers, the team has secured waivers on that player
for the rest of the Waiver Period. Meaning that the
player does not have to clear Waivers again for the
rest of the Waiver Period. In order for that players
Waivers to remain secured you must leave him on the
team Waiver list when his status is listed as
CLEARED Waivers.
The player will not appear on the League Waiver
Wire if his Status on the team Waiver List is
CLEARED Waivers. If you do remove the player from
the team Waiver list and then try to send the player
to AAA or put him on DFA, he will have to pass
through Waivers again.
Every player whos status is CLEARED Waivers will
be removed from the team Waiver List on the last day
of reach Waiver Period.
*This rule does not apply to players who have
Minor League Option years remaining. They can be
freely moved from League to League without having to
pass through Waivers.

section in the Forum and the other replies with
confirmation. The trade will then be processed after
the next Sim. Please post the players position, full
