1. Please enter league with your member name as your team name. After the league is filled Strat-O-Matic will place each manager into a division and they will also determine the draft selection order. The franchises are numbered 1-12 and you can view the list of teams in the league directory.


2. After franchises are determined you must select your team name and your manager name from your list of teams, no combinations or abbreviation of names are allowed. You will have only one opportunity to make changes on your own, a second attempt will have to be executed by customer service.

3. Please select your team's home park from the list of different stadiums available for your clubs. Your team and your home park doesn't have to be the same, as long as one of your teams played their home games in your selected stadium.


4. A player that is exclusive to one club and is valued at 8.00 or more must be selected during the 28 round draft if you want to include them on your roster. If you fail to draft the cards must stay in free agency until game 81 has played. Example: If you fail to draft one team only Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees in the 25 rounds of the draft then he is ineligible for the first 81 games of the season.

5. Please draft your roster with 25 player cards that have played in one or more games during their major league career with one of the teams from your selected franchise or with a Negro League Star.

Baseball Reference is a very detailed website, I think you will find it helpful with your research.


6. The Negro League cards are available beginning with the thirteenth draft pick (first pick of the second round) the exception being if they have played a regular season game with one of the major league teams from your list. If they meet these qualifications you must select the Negro League Star during the first round, if you do not the card becomes eligible for all clubs during second round and you lose the exclusive rights.

7. After the draft if you have a player that is eligible for your club and is also eligible for another franchise in the league and the same is true for the player your acquiring then a trade is allowed.

8. Players injured during a series must serve the the entirety of the injury or if you choose you may release player into free agency. If your player is eligible for other teams they must acquire card showing the current injury, after injury is completed then all seasons are available.

By joining you agree that you have read and will follow league rules.

I may have jumped into your league - is it open for me or is someone else got it reserved?

Don't know how to jump out of the league if I'm not supposed to be here, so some assistance would be required to remove me.

Whatever you guys want is fine with me. I apologize if I've screwed the pooch for you -

I added each managers name next to their list of teams based on the randomization performed by Strat-O-Matic. Please double check your new team name and choose an actual managers name from past or present before entering change. You can change only once - a second attempt will have to be processed by customer service.

Holy Cow!

Charles = I'm really a mess. I'm going to need Customer Service to change my teams name to the New York Yankees. How do we do this, after the draft or before? My apologies -

We’ll be starting the draft with Barry and Babe, as most live drafts usually do. Doesn’t happen often in these leagues though. Hopefully we figured out the kinks. But the last draft was fun, even with the starts and stops. Looking forward to it.
