July 30, 2008 at 07:15PM View BBCode
The Robin Roberts 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 6 games per day.
For more info on the difference between Speed, Dynasty, and Private Leagues, please see the Pay Leagues page under Sign Up
The league will use the following settings:
- 6 games per day
- Injury System 3 ( http://rules.simdynasty.com/index.php/Sim_Dynasty_Rulebook#Injured_Players )
-
No CP Trades
- Player name changes are allowed
- Skill grades will be displayed as letters (A+, A, A-, etc.)
- 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 only up to 3 seasons in advance.
- No hidden improvements
- Players will stay on the waiver wire for 7 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 75% at catcher as a secondary position to count or play as a catcher.
- Inactive teams will be replaced after 3 weeks of inactivity, without a refund unless they notify the league commish that they will be away
- Games will be played somewhere between 8AM and 7PM every day.
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 post a private message for Admin in Support after you have signed up for a team. Your responsibilities will largely be communication - namely acting as a liaison 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 $55 for 8 seasons of play, which will be roughly 8 months. Subsequent 8 season terms will cost $45-$50, depending on whether you renew on time.

INITIAL DRAFT
Usually, 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.
When the last team joins, I will post a game and draft schedule within 12-24 hours. I am going to be out of town the next few days, so if the league fills fast, it might take me a little while to setup the draft. Worst case, it will run Tuesday afternoon.
