Premise of League
IDEA OF LEAGUE
Fantasy Baseball Fanatics was created to reflect the 30 major league baseball franchises. This meant not only the major league roster but much of the minor league system. Contracts with salaries, deadlines, off-season free agency, and the divisions are all part of the game. What makes this league unique is that it gives every franchise a fighting chance with a flat salary cap of $100 million.
CODE OF CONDUCT
League members must never engage in conduct that violates the interests of the league. Collusion and cheating will not be tolerated under any circumstances and could the Commissioner can deem such behavior grounds for immediate removal from the league.
Behaviors that are detrimental to the league or league members - such as losing on purpose, misrepresenting facts to gain a favorable decision, or attempting to gain an advantage by circumventing the established rules of FBF - are all examples of things that could lead to disciplinary action by the Commissioner.
Upon becoming part of FBF one is given the expectation that they are to remain an active and positive member of the league. Inactivity is grounds for immediate removal, no questions asked. Inactivity includes: not signing into Proboards, not signing into fantrax.com, not responding to trade offers, not updating fantrax.com roster. Also but not limited to as well is not communicating with the commissioners office through PM or email as sent out as requested by the office of the commissioner.
**In the event of an unexpected occurrence, the Commissioner has the sole authority to deal with the situation and shall revisit the ruling in the off-season if needed. **
All franchise owners in the league have the right to be heard and to air any grievance. There is a proper way to voice your concerns. Once you have requested this conference then the commissioner’s office will make every effort to schedule the conference within the time frame of not more than 48 hours and all parties will need to find an appropriate time to talk. In the event that the reason of conference is due to a vetoed trade then the trade panel committee will also be asked to make time to be involved. It is the responsibility of the parties requesting the meeting to come prepared with reasons why they feel the trade should be overturned. If either party of the trade is not present then the claim will be denied and decisions final.
TEAM IDENTITIES
FBF consists of 30 teams. Team names shall mirror and represent all images, sounds, and other team elements/characteristics as much as possible.
The 30 teams are divided up into the 6 real-life divisions. Each team has a major league roster and controls their minor league system.
