News

We are testing the computer game's Injury Rule setting (rather than SADV) for the remainder of the regular season. Injuries will continue to be capped at 15 days maximum.

What's New for the 2021 Season

We will use the 60 game actual set and players' usage will be multiplied by 3.
We will play a 162 game schedule.
We will allow no more than 26 players on the roster in the regular season and the playoffs. We will keep the old 40-man max September call-up rule.
We will have a 2-player COVID-19 list. Selected players stay on the list (if they opted out in real life) and do not count towards the roster limit, but will not play at all in the season.
We will follow the 3-batter minimum rule for relievers. The last out of the inning satisfies the rule.
We will NOT use the man on 2B rule for extra inning games. We do not play doubleheaders anyway so the 7-inning rule does not apply to us.
We will expand to 14 teams for the 2022 season (2021 roster). The plan is to have two divisions of seven teams rather than three.
We agreed at the meeting to try 60-days-max injury rules for the first 1/3 of the season, no injuries for the second 1/3, and 15-days-max for the third 1/3. This is to help us determine one injury rule we will keep for the entire 2022 season.
We agreed to allow 40 players maximum in September and revert to 26 players maximum for the playoffs.

Playoff Results

Note: we are unable to present final cumulative playoff stats this year as our managers upgraded to the new 2022 game in the middle of the playoffs. Unless we have a volunteer who is happy to rebuild all our games, please enjoy the results below instead. :-)

Regular Season Results

From here on, individual regular season games will not be posted here on the site. It is just a lot of work for the webmaster to do for so few, if any, readers. Site visitors can enjoy the league standings, WebBuilder, and League Report. League members can view the BOX and PAC files in the game's Print folder.
