MAIN IDEA
A Group of elite fantasy managers each take over there favourite franchises and current rosters.
Using a 6X6 h2h Yahoo Sports Fantasy Baseball League we all compete for the ultamite prize in fantasy sports, THE REALITY RING
Using our geocities web site we have created a salary cap system using FANTASY CONTRACTS, customized schedule, and customized divisions, to create a more realistic effect unlike any other fantasy sports league
Throughout the years "DEAD TEAMS" have arrized, thus we have brought in expansion teams, who pick from an available player listing.
CATEGORIES
HITTING: AVG, R, HR, RBI, SB, BB
PITCHING: W, K, SV, HLD, ERA, WHIP
POSITIONS
HITTING: C,1B,2B,SS,3B,DH,RF,LF,CF
PITCHING: P,P,P,P,P,P,P
FREE AGENCY
When a players contract expires he becomes a free agent, he then recieves bids....the original owner can then match the highest bid to re-sign the players
ROSTER SIZE
Rosters consist of no more then 40 major leaguers and no more then 20 prospects
PROSPECTS
Prospects are drafted each summer after the REAL MAJOR LEAGUE ENTRY DRAFT IS COMPLETED...We then draft from the players that were ACTUALLY just drafted. The draft consists of 3 rounds, and you can trade your picks throughout the season. All players drafted recieve $1/4 year contracts, which you do not pay until the player is called up.
Once you've called up a prospect he can never be sent back down, you can also trade your prospects.
SALARY CAP
The cap is $235 million, in our first year using the cap some teams could have different caps, as they add on or minus whatever is left over in revenue, and adjust it to there cap
IMPORTANT DATES
Some important dates to remember:
WEEK 9: Reality All Star Game (voted on by Managers, occurs Friday Night)
WEEK 16: Keeper Lists are sent out
WEEK 17: Free agents for off season are announced
WEEK 17: RE-SIGNING PERIOD
WEEK 18: TRADE DEADLINE
WEEK 19: AUCTION WEEK (Release up to 3 players and recieve the players money they are worth by there current rank, the league then auction them off for 48 hours)(*You cannot place offers on your own players*)
WEEK 23: Playoffs Begin
1 WEEK AFTER PLAYOFFS: Free Agents begin to search for the best possible offer
PLAYOFF RULES
A tie breaker in the playoffs is decided first by h2h meetings in that current season, second is winning percentage in regular season, third being most weekly leaders won.
The Reality Series will last only for one week, unlike Yahoo which lasts 2 weeks
FREE AGENT BIDDING
Every week there will be Free Agent Bidding...from Monday to Wednesday you nominate players, the rest of the week until the Saturday Midnight deadline you spend laying bids on those players. At the deadline if there are still more then 1 manager interested in that player, you will have to each submit a secret bid, with the higher bid recieving that player. The highest dollar ammount wins over the highest contract length ammount
TRANSACTION WHEN OVER THE CAP
You can never take on salary when your franchise is over the cap limit. You can do even money trades and re-sign your own waived players, but you can not be involved in free agent bidding, acquire more salary then your sending away, or pick up a waived player from another teams franchise.
MINIMUM INNINGS PITCHED
Reality has a minimum innings pitched rule of 32 innings per week. But unlike yahoo when you do not meet the minimum you are only forfeiting ERA and WHIP.
