For more info on the difference between Speed, Dynasty, and Private Leagues, [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/payleagues.jsp]please see the Pay Leagues page under Sign Up[/url]
The league will use the following settings:
- CP Trades are NOT allowed
- Player name changes are allowed
- Skill grades will be displayed as numbers (ie 1-100) instead of letters. Although each owner has the option of displaying letters using the Edit Profile menu choice under Owner.
- 15 games per day
- After the Amateur Draft runs, the next season will start the next day.
- Amateur Draftees will appear at 11PM on the day the league reaches August 15th
- Draft picks can be traded up to 3 seasons in advance.
- No hidden improvements
- Players will stay on the waiver wire for 16 sim days
- A playoff deadline of Sept 1st, players must be acquired before Sept 1st in order to be post-season eligible
- Only catchers can start at catcher.
- A team must carry 2 major league catchers.
- A player must be at least 50% at catcher as a secondary position to count or play as a catcher.
- Inactive teams will be replaced after 2 weeks of inactivity, without a refund unless they notify the league commish that they will be away
In the past for private leagues, we selected a commish before the league signups started. For the Speed leagues, we will select a commish while signups are underway.
Again, please remember that special rules cannot be added to a Speed league.
If you are interested in being the commish of this league, please send Admin a u2u after you have signed up for a team. Your responsibilities will largely be communication - namely acting as a liason between the Admins and the rest of the league.
The commish won't have any power or responsibility to make rulings or judgments in a Speed league. We may ask for your input though and if you're interested in starting your own Private league - this may be a good place to prove you're capable. We also sometimes give commishes perks like free Dynasty Expansion teams.
The cost of the league will be $70 for 17 seasons of play, which will be roughly 8 months. Subsequent 17 season terms will cost $60-$65, depending on when you renew.
Here is some more background info on the concept of Speed leagues:

If you are interested in playing, please follow these instructions:
1) Create a new screen name, or log in as a screen name that doesn't already have a team.
2) Go to this link to pay and signup: http://www.simdynasty.com/signuppriv.jsp?leagueid=397
3) After you pay, click the Continue button to claim your team. If you forget to do this, return to this link and you'll be able to claim a team: http://www.simdynasty.com/signuppriv.jsp?leagueid=397
The initial draft will run about 48 hours after the 16th team signs up. After the league is full, we typically post a draft time the following morning. We normally start the first season 2 days after the draft runs.

The Manny Ramirez League is the next of our "Speed" leagues. These leagues are a hybrid of the Private leagues and the Dynasty leagues. We call them Speed leagues because they typically play more than 3 games per day, this league will play 15 games per day.For more info on the difference between Speed, Dynasty, and Private Leagues, [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/payleagues.jsp]please see the Pay Leagues page under Sign Up[/url]

I just signed up and paid through paypal my $70, but wasn't directed to the page to pick my team. It said something about not having enough credits to get a new team. What's the problem? I am talking about the Manny Ramirez League. I would hate to be out $70 without getting in the league. I will be gone until this after noon. If you could u2u me about this I would appreciate this.kenton5

I'm still not sure what the underlying issue was, but I've credited you nonetheless. I've also added some more debugging information to the payment script to better troubleshoot this issue if it comes up again.Tyson
