Let's Get Ready to Mogul (http://forum.sportsmogul.com/showthread.php3?s=&threadid=21668)

Welcome to "Lets Get Ready to Mogul".

There are a few basic rules to the league.

1) All GM's that start out at the start of the league will get 3 free drops, or 2 free drops and the option to cut one player's salary in half, or 1 drop and 2 salary cuts.

2) There is also a rule that no GM may sign a free agent to a one year contract with the intent to immediately re-sign that player long term for much cheaper.

3) There is no player renting or borrowing. This means giving a player to a buddy to help him out with the understanding of getting that player back soon after.

4) All GM's must sign in at least once (hopefully more) every 3 days or you will be subject to removal from the league. If you have a situation where you will be away for more than that, just post it or email me and let me know AHEAD OF TIME and that will be fine.

5a) There will be a limit on expenses. The purpose of this it to prevent several large market teams from running away with the league like i have seen in several leagues.
Farm cap------250
Scouting cap-150
Medical cap---150
Total = 550

5b) In addition to this, there is a cash cap of 500 points which will limit how much cash you can accumulate. If a GM ends a season with more than this, he will be reduced to 500. The leftover cash will them be distributed to the teams that made the least amount of income for that season.

These expense restrictions in no way equalize this league, as the big market teams will still have a big advantage. It will just give the smaller market teams a bit more of a chance to compete and win. Failure to follow these rules (except 5b) may result in removal from the league or fines. As commissioner I reserver the right to add and remove rules as the the league may see fit to run at it's best.

If this league gets off the ground, it's sure to be a great success. The four first GM's to join are all credited GM's who are very active. For those of you that don't know, Phreaque runs his own league as well which has nearly 30 GM's and its the year 2019 in his league. I plan to keep this league running for a long time like that as well. If you are an active GM and want to get in from the beginning on a league that is sure to run a long time, you should check out "Let's Get Ready to Mogul" (http://www-1.sportsmogul.com/bb/leagues.pl?viewleague=1083) .

there are many fun and involving things that will go on with this league including GM-Based voting for each leagues MVP's, Cy Young's and Rookies of the Year. I guarantee that if this league gets off the ground, it will be among the best leagues such as Phreaque's GM Baseball League, since much of the leagues ideas were based on his league and had much of his input.

It's also run on Pacific time so that the west coast can get in on this league from 9-6 and anyone like myself that work or have school can still catch most of the sims as they run from 12 pm to 9 pm on the east coast.

Bump to the top! Still 25 great teams left.

As Frost said, the Pacific time is so that people on the West coast dont' have to be up at 6am for it to start and so that the people on the east coast can still get a chance to check their team at lunch (it starts at noon EST) and after they get home, (it runs until 9pm EST).

It is guarenteed to be a great active league, so if that's what you're looking for, join now!

Im new to the online playing of this game... each day is 30 games.. but takes 9 hours to play??? I would only be able to modify my teams at night (10 ish EST) I suppose this would not be good at all as I would have virtually no contriol of what happens during the 30 games...

it is 3 games simmed at

Noon
1pm
2pm
3pm
etc.
until 9pm.

Thus, 3 games simmed 10 times in a 9 hour spot.

If you can't alter until 10ish, than almost any sim schedule would be bad as they're both 9-6, one is just EST and one is PST. At least with the PST time if you could get on early, you might still catch the last sim! Plus if you had a chance to join, this will be an excellent league!

Ok we're about 1/3 full now. You can be either one of those GM's that joins a league late and thinks "man, if i just got in sooner, i woud've had the team of my choice", or you can join A.S.A.P. to get your choice team and free drops and payroll cuts.

I am in it. Cleveland is a VERY good team. I would like to see someone try to challenge me for the division. In my opinion they are the best team in the AL Central. (not that they showed it this year phreaque):p jk. In real life Im a red sox and toronto fan I guess I shouldn't be talking.
