OFFICAL ONLINE MAJOR LEAGUE MOGUL CONFERENCE RULES AS OF 4/25/00.

Welcome to the Online Major League Mogul Conference Fanatsy Baseball League.  Here is the complete list of rules for this league.   These rules may change at anytime with or without a vote.  Any questions, comments or suggestions should be emailed to George A. Massimillo.

*Free Agency Periods.
During Free Agency Periods you can bid on a player anything you wish.  Email the bids in with Player Name, Position, Total Contract Length, Total Contract Amount, and Pay Per Year.  Everynight the bids will be put up.  You have 24 hours to outbid another team.  If 24 hours passes and the bid has not been beaten the team is signed to the team.  Free Agency Periods do not end.  Once the season starts free agents still being bid on continue in the 24 hour rule until the player is signed.  Only players bid on during free agency carry the 24 hour rule into the regular season.   If a Free Agent was not bid on in a FAP then that player is bid on regularly during the season.

*Emails.
When sending emails to the league send them to president of the OMLMC George A. Massimillo.  Please put your team name and subject of the email in the subject.  For example if you are the New York Mets and you are sending in a roster update your subject would be  -   NYM - Roster.   This will help me to go through email quicker so that I can get the sim out to you sooner.

*League Start.
At the start of this league each team will be granted two free releases.  They must be decided within the first week of ownership of the team.  When the two players are chosen one must be designated as signable.  You may only bid on one of the two players once they are in the free agent pool.  The player who you cannot bid on may be traded to you after he is signed by another team or if he is signed by a team then released again you may bid on him.

*Weekly Sims.
There will be two sims a week.  Each sim will play out one week of play using Baseball Mogul 2000.  An updated file will be uploaded to the page shortly after and every member of the league will then recieve an email and sometimes brief comments on the outcome of the sim.  The updated league file can be downloaded by clicking on the OMLMC File link below (top row, second from the left.).  The sims will take place on Wed. and Sun.

*Rosters.
Rosters must be sent in the night before each sim (So Wed.'s roster would be due Tues. Night and Sun.'s roster would be due Sat. Night.)  Send in a batting order, bench, pitching rotation, and bullpen.  If there is no change in your roster from one sim to the next no email is nessesary.

*Trades.
Trades can consist of any players or money on your team.  The right to Star Prospects can not be traded until it is garunteed that you are the team that will be recieving the right to a Star Prospect ( See Star Prospects Below.).  The World Series team cannot trade thier Star Prospect right, however they can trade thier Star Prospect once recieved.  All trades must be sent into George A. Massimillo as soon as possible after the trade.  It should include all details of the trade and a brief press release from yorur about the trade.  If a team begins to make trades that have no reason to them and completely destories the team for that owner and perhaps future owners I have the right to deny the trade.  All completed trades will be posted on the page to access them click on the Trades & Signings link (second row, first from the left.)

*Free Agent Signings.
Free agent bids must be sent into George A. Massimillo stating the players name, position, lenght in years of the bid, salary per year, and salary total.  Once bid on it will be posted  under Free Agents (first row, first from the right.)  Any other team wishing to bid on that player must beat out the original bid before the roster deadline of the next sim.  If the bid is not beaten or matched the player will be signed to the team and it will be posted under Trade & Signings (second rown first from teh left.).  If a team meets another teams bid for a free agent each team must submit a reason that the player should sign with them and what his role would be with the team, a few selected owners and I will then judge it and make a decision on which team deserves the player more.

*75million Tax.
If a playoff team has a payroll of 75 million or more, half of the playoff profits will be taken.  The money taken will be divided amoung the 2 lowest payroll teams, unless it would cause the playoff team to go under 5 million in cash.  Then the playoff team keeps all profits.

*Star Prospects.
At the beginning of the season a vote will take place to determine if there will be 2 pitchers and 1 position player or 2 position players and 1 pitcher.  I will then create 3 extremely great players.  The three players will stay posted Free Agents link (first row, first from the right.).  At the end of the WS the 3 players will be given to thier teams.  The worst team in each league and the WS team will ge involved.  The team with the worst record of the two worst teams will choose first, then the other last place team will chose from the remaining two star prospects, the third star prospect will be given to the WS champions.  The two last place teams may sign thier star prospect to a longer contract.  However the world series team must wait until the player has played one full season before being able to sign him.   Each star prospect will start with a 1year 150,00 dollar contract.  When the season has completed a last place team may trade thier right to a star prospect to another team.  The team recieving the right to a star prospect will get that teams order in the chosing process but will not be able to sign the star prospect until the prospect has completed one year of service.  WS champions cannot trade their right to a star prospect.   After the prospects are assigned to their teams they may be traded freely as any other player, but once traded he cannot sign a longer contract.  So for instance if the Montreal Expos were to get the first star prospect and trade him to the Arizona Diamondbacks without signing him to a longer contract the DBacks CANNOT sign the prospect to a new contract until one year of service is complete.

*Team Reports.
Team Reports are not mandatory although it is requested that you submit one a week.  A few short sentences are fine.  This simply adds to the fun and realism of the league so please help out to make this fun for everyone.  At the start of each ownership a small Team Report is mandatory though.

*Overall Team Rankings.
The Overall Team Rankings are simply how I personally feel each team stands against eachother and have nothing to do with the outcome of the sims.  This is just an added feature to the league.

*History.
The History section will have a history of each teams records over the years.

*Moving Teams.
The moving of teams will be judged on a team by team basis.  There will be a moving fee and a possible stadium lease price which will be set if I and a few selected owners granted your team the right to move.

*Stadium Modifications.
Stadium Modifications can be done to any stadium during the off season.  Every 10,000 seats added costs 3 million dollars.  Every 10 feet a fence is moved costs 1 million, anything below 10 feet is 1 million and anything between 10-20 feet is 2million.  Fences cannot be moved more then 20 feet at a time.   All other updates cost 2 million per level upgraded.
