A. General Rules
1. SDBaseball is a 20 team H2H fantasy baseball league that aims to offer spirited competition in a reasonably true to life format.
2. The league follows a 6X6 format. Each team will receive 1 point for each category won in its weekly head to head match-up. The scoring categories are as follows:
Hitters: R, RBI, HR, OPS, SB, AVG
Pitchers: W, ERA, SV, HLD, WHIP, K
3. Matches will be against teams in both leagues (inter-league).
4. A team's roster will consist of three parts: the 27-man majors roster, the 13-man reserve roster, and the 60-man minors roster.
5. There is a minimum innings pitched requirement of 30 IP weekly.
6. Prizes will be awarded to the winner and runner-up of the League Championship. In a typical season the winner will receive $250 and the runner-up $100. In the event the overall payout total is higher or lower than $350, the funds will be be awarded on a 5:2 ratio.
7. New members will be asked to make payment via PayPal. The Treasurer may elect to accept payment via money order. The payment must be received within 10 days of joining. If payment is not received by the deadline, the membership will be terminated.
8. There is a cap of $100,000,000 for the 40-man roster. There is no cap for the minors roster.
B. Sportsmanship
1. Payment of league dues does not entitle any GM to undermine the integrity of the league nor its competitive balance. GMs are expected to check in daily or at least every other or every 3rd day during busy periods. Longer absences must be posted on the Out of Town board. Failure to comply with these rules may result in your removal from the league.
2. Membership in this league will be viewed as evidence that the GM respects and accepts both the rules and any infractions that may occur as a result of breaking them. It will also be viewed as acceptance and agreement that the rules are documented for all to see and that they may not be modified on a case by case basis nor interpreted in a manner in which they were not intended. If rules are broken and penalties enforced the onus is on the GM to accept his responsibility for the transgression rather than on the league or the League Commish to modify the penalties for his benefit.
3. A GM who chooses to leave the league will only receive a refund if it is requested within the first two weeks of joining or making payment, whichever comes first. GM's who are removed from the league after the first two weeks will only receive a refund for the $8 CBS fee, if requested. This fee will be pro-rated from the time CBS opens for the start of the new season, presumably in February.
4. In the case of a dead team (in which the team has been declared as such by the commishes), the commishes will set the daily lineups to include that day's starters to make sure the IP requirement is met. If the dead team's roster fails to meet the IP requirement the penalty will not be enforced. If a team fails to meet the requirement during the playoffs it will lose all points from the round and be automatically eliminated.
5. Members should not share an IP address. In the event that co-workers or siblings are members, they must be prepared to help distinguish their separate identities. The reason for this is two fold: this is a money league; and their have previously been attempts by a single person to sign up as multiple teams.
6. GM's who have not been active for 30 days will be barred from competing in the playoffs. Activity is defined as logging into this board, adjusting your lineup on CBS or posting a message there. An out of town announcement will be taken into consideration as long as it is up-to-date.
7. In the event there is gap or loophole in the rules, league members agree to inform the Commish rather than make any attempt to exploit it. Members accept that the League Commish has the right to determine whether exploitation of a gap in specific language, or a loophole in the rules is contrary to the spirit or ongoing application of the rules. Members agree not to exercise any competitive advantage that is to the detriment of the league and its integrity.
