Hey all,
BL-Fisk is a long-running 20-team private BL with one vacancy for the 2023 season - Team 18. The available team is in need of a rebuild and this is a tough ownership group, but Fisk's structure allows smart owners to re-tool a team quickly via the soft keeper system, unlimited rookies and open eligibility. Our wide open eligibility means valuing non-major league talent has to always be on your mind if you are interested in those players. While the league owners are very experienced and competitive, the group is friendly and laid-back.

Keeper rules:
Fisk has a soft 13 keeper system. Teams may keep up to 13 veterans, or they can redeem keeper slots for draft picks in earlier rounds. For example, a team keeping 12 veterans would have a draft pick in round 13 if they didn't trade any keeper slots away, and that 13th round pick would be one round before teams with full keeper lists start drafting. The team that keeps the fewest players will pick first overall assuming they didn't trade away keeper slots.

Up to 13 vet keepers per team
