New 30-10 league forming with exact same format as the BL "Ball Four".
18 Team league
3 Div of 6.
3 wild cards for playoffs (2 division winners with the best overall record get 1st round bye)
Scoresheet generates the schedule.
Teams play the 5 teams in their div 12 times per year
Teams play the other 12 teams (6 teams 9 times, 6 other teams 8 times)
Initial draft of 30 rounds for each team from both AL and NL combined, with DH. Draft run by scoresheet’s computer.
Annual March draft of 10 rounds for each team bringing total of 40 players for each team lessens the chance of AAA player getting into a game.. (No forfeiting picks for protecting minor league prospects or having to worry about x-overs. You can even keep them and your entire bullpen on your 30 man protected list if you want)
Only one in season supplemental draft of 6 rounds ending June 1st (before the amateur draft) bringing each team 46 players for the remainder of the season. Also, the initial draft will include everyone from both leagues but note that the 1st “in season” supplemental draft is completed BEFORE the amateur draft in June. So next year and each year thereafter, after the protection lists are due, the 10 round draft that begins in March each year will have all the international Free agents AND all the previous year’s draftees. It’s just the first year’s initial draft that will include the previous year’s draft.
Trading deadline same as Scoresheet’s current deadline.
