I haven’t done a post on my baseball leagues for a while so here is an update on the one of the two leagues I’m currently running online:
My Primary League is a draft league. We started in 1969 and are in our 2nd season playing 1970. We expanded to 18 teams this season and because of this converted to 3 divisions of 3 teams in each league with a wild card.
The season is 162 games, and you play more within your division than outside of it. Trades are allowed including draft picks for the next season up to round 7. Because Dynasty has not yet released a 1971 or 1972 season (but says they will soon) we presuming that we are playing the 1973 season next. If 71 or 72 comes out before the end of the season or soon enough before the draft we might go earlier.
Oh and one more thing, the divisions are based on where the managers live rather than where the teams actually are. This makes it easier for players to schedule games.
