PERFECT GAME DYNASTY LEAGUE OVERVIEW:
This league is a perpetual keeper league. It is for knowledgeable and serious owners run through CBS commissioner. It is a head to head rotisserie style league altered to mirror real baseball as much as possible. The league also has a message board site for all drafts, transactions, roster, salaries and other general chatting and information.
The league began with the 2008 FYPD that went for 35 rounds. This was followed by an 80-player minor league draft (MILB draft). In February 2009 the 40-man MLB Draft was held and play began in April 2009
ROSTER:
League consists of 20 teams that will have 40-man rosters with a 25-man active roster that consists of the following:
2 Catchers
1 1B
1 2B
1 SS
1 3B
1 Corner Infielder (1B or 3B)
1 Middle Infielder (2B or SS)
5 OF
2 Utility (any batting position)
10 Pitchers (any combination of SP and RP)
Players will be eligible if they have played 5 games at the position in the current season or 10 games at the position in the prior season. Rookies will be available at the position CBS has them listed.
Each week you can choose your 25-man active roster from your 40-man major league roster. If you wish to promote a minor leaguer to your active 25-man roster, you must make room for him on your 40-man roster and have the salary cap space to do this. Your total roster limit will be 250 players.
SALARIES:
Initial players’ salaries were assigned based on draft position in the 2009 MLB dispersal draft. These values were given before the draft and the salary cap was set at $100 million. This is the cap for the foreseeable future.
Maximum player salary amount is $20 million and the minimum player salary is $300,000. Any player on the 40-man roster will be given a salary of $300,000 or greater, regardless of prospect status.
Each team was given three 5-year contract, three 4-year contracts, seven 3-year contracts, seven 2-year contracts and all others were assigned 1-year contracts. Contract lengths were decided by each owner before the start of the 2009 MLB season.
Any team caught above 40 players, or over the salary cap, will be given a warning and 48 hours to correct the problem. After a second warning, the team will lose an FYPD pick.
FREE AGENCY:
There are two periods of free agency each year: in-season and off-season. To be eligible to be bid on in free agency, a player must either have passed the 50IP/130AB prospect threshold or be 25 years or older on April 1st of that season. If an undrafted player is added to an active MLB 25-man roster, he becomes immediately available in free agency regardless of his age or prospect status.
In-Season free agency consists of all players who are not on any Perfect Game roster but are on an MLB team’s active 25-man roster. Player must be introduced in the Free Agency forum on the message board site and a league minimum bid of $300,000 must be given to the player. Everyone in the league is then free to bid on this player, assuming they have the cap space. Once bidding has ceased for a 24-hour period, the player is awarded to that team with the highest bid. The winning team then has 48 hours to determine contract length between 1 and 5 years. If no contract length is stated, player will be given a default 1-year contract.
Off-Season free agency follows the same bidding process, but bidding will take place over weeks with players divided into groups by position. Each team owner can make bids on no more than 5 players at any one team. If they are caught to have more than 5 bids, they will be suspended from bidding on that group for one week.
When entering off-season free agency, each team can protect 3 players from being lost to free agency by declaring them as “match” players. The players will then be bid on by the other owners. The winning bid will then be able to be matched and the player will stay with its previous team. Only 2 of the 3 players may be matched, but the 3rd player can then be bid on by the previous owner if he has used his 2 matches.
Franchising a player can also be done when a players contract is up. His salary will be 120% of his final year salary or $8 million whichever is greater and will last for 3 years. Only one franchise player is available per team and they will not be able to be waived, traded or released.
Each team is allowed up to 3 option contracts each off-season. Option contracts are option years that the team has on a player and can be broken down into any combination of 5 years or less at your discretion, meaning 1yr + 1yr, 1yr + 2yrs, 1yr + 3yrs, 1yr + 4yrs, 2yrs + 1yr, 2yrs + 2yrs, 2yr + 3yrs, 3yrs + 1yr, 3yrs + 2yr or 4yrs + 1yr. There is a maximum of 7 option contracts at one time per team.
PROSPECTS and y2y CONTRACTS:
Any player who has less than (or equal to) 50 innings pitched or 130 at-bats in the Major Leagues going into the beginning of a season is considered a prospect.
Once a player is promoted to a 40-man roster by an owner, he is given a salary of $300,000 based on our y2y (year to year) contract structure. If the player then passes the 50/130 threshold, this will be his y2y.1 contract year.
If a player is promoted to a 40-man roster by an owner, but does not pass the 50/130 threshold, he will then be considered a prospect going into the next season with no salary attached to him.
If a player is not promoted to a 40-man by an owner, but passes the 50/130 threshold, he will then be “forced” up the following year and be in his y2y.1 contract year.
Minor League call up contract:
Year 1 - $300,000
Year 2 - $600,000
Year 3 - $900,000
Year 4 - $1,200,000
Year 5 - $3,600,000
Year 6 - $5,400,000
Player can be cut before any new season under this contract, but not during the season. Player may be optioned from 40-man to minor leagues in the first 2 seasons of this contract without needing to clear waivers.
TRANSACTIONS:
Trade Deadline
Trade deadline will be the 2nd Sunday in August at 11:59pm. Draft picks can be traded up to 1 year in advance of the draft. All players (besides franchise players) can be traded unless they were signed as free agents in the previous off-season. These players will not be allowed to be traded until June 1st. Only half of each team’s picks in each draft may be traded
Trade Approval
All trades must be approved by one of the two league commissioners. Only trades that affect the competitive balance of the league or are suspect of collusion shall be denied or asked to be reworked. Unbalanced trades or those done for salary cap reasons will not be denied. Trades cannot be done for cash or for future considerations.
Waivers
You can place a player on waivers and attempt to send him to the minors at any time. Other teams will then have a 24-hours to claim that player. Team with the worst record wins the claim and will inherit his contract as is. Unclaimed players go to paid minors.
Each team gets 3 waiver passes per season. They can send down any player at any time without exposing them to waivers. Each team is still responsible for their player’s salary.
DL
Only players on the 60-day DL can be sent to the minors and removed from your 40-man roster.
SCORING:
The scoring period for each week runs Monday through Sunday. Because Opening Day may be on a Sunday, the scoring period for the first week will be Sunday through Sunday. All games will be contested in head-to-head match-ups based on the following categories and winner-take-all values:
On-base % 1.2 Wins
Runs 0.7 Wins
RBIs 0.7 Wins
Total Bases 1.1 Wins
Stolen Bases 0.3 Wins
Wins + Quality Starts 0.8 Wins
2 * Saves + Holds 0.7 Wins
ERA 0.7 Wins
WHIP Ratio 1.1 Wins
Strikeouts – Walks 0.7 Wins
TOTAL 8.0 Wins
Each match-up has a possible 8.0 Wins at stake. The point values were chosen in order to make the results as realistically representative of actual player values as is possible without developing a significantly more complicated point system grid. **Due to CBS glitch, all points are multiplied by 10. Due to this, we are playing a 1600 game season instead of 160**
PLAYOFFS:
The regular season will be 20 weeks long. The top 8 overall seeds make the playoffs. Round one will be a cumulative period of weeks 21-22 and will match #1 vs #8, #2 vs #7, #3 vs #6, #4 vs #5. CBS is unable to allow two week scoring periods in the playoffs, so an Excel spreadsheet is used to calculate to combined scores. Round two will be a cumulative period of weeks 23-24 and the championship will be weeks 25-26. Ties in playoffs will be decided by regular season record.
DRAFT RULES:
