WORLD RULES

World Rules:

New Rules: (starting in season 10)

World Committee: tmfran / rcoffey45 / wildpike / johnmut

(1) Anti-Tanking Rules: Win Floor 55/125/190

(2) Prospect Budget: 30M Max (If the excess $$ is spent, violation of this rule will result in immediate removal from the world. . If violation can be corrected by $$ transfer the violating owner must immediately make the correction and will not be booted) **adjusted wording on 03/17/14**

(3) New players can change ballparks after completing one season in previous city.

(4) Current owners can switch ballparks once every five seasons. (All owners in season 10 can choose a new park immediately)

(5) A world committee will be set up by the world. It will be made up of 4 owners, 2 from the AL and 2 from the NL. The committee will vote on rules violations as well as admission to the world if / when vacancies occur. In case of a voting tie, then the commish will cast the tie breaking vote. .

(6) If a owner violates the anti-tanking rules, they may appeal being kicked out of the world. They can make their case to the world committee and state why they should be allowed to stay. The committee will then vote the fate of that owner. Each owner only gets one appeal, after that a violation results in expulsion from the world. If the owner is allowed back he/she will have one probationary season in which they're not allowed to compete in the IFA market.

(7) If a committee member quits or gets kicked out, then the commish will appoint a replacement committee member. If the commish quits or gets kicked out, then the committee will appoint a new commish.

(8) All owners are expected to keep their minors stocked, to avoid fatigue problems.

LOUISVILLE FLYING RATS / bigsprtsfan1 Owner Interview

LOUISVILLE FLYING RATS


WIS Name: bigsprtsfan1
First Name: SEAN
Home State: OHIO
Age: 49

What do you do when you’re not playing HBD or working?: I work for the State of Ohio (EPA), and I am also a law student. I also help homeschool my granddaughters, and give piano lessons to the two older girls.

Favorite Teams (MLB/NFL/NBA/NHL… Soccer I guess): 
MLB - Cleveland Indians
NFL - Cleveland Browns
NBA - Cleveland Cavaliers
(I was born and raised in Cleveland, but live 30 miles southeast of Columbus now. I am a big Cleveland sports fan...I tell people it's a "genetic disorder." ;-) )

Choose 4 people you’d like to hang out with for a night (why?): 
Any four top casino execs in Las Vegas...money and power. ;-) I love Las Vegas, and would like to live the "whale" life for one night.

Funniest or dumbest thing that you have done in last few years: 
This would have to be the time my wife asked me to put meatloaf in the oven. It was covered in plastic wrap, and I put the whole thing in...plastic wrap and all. The meatloaf was fine, but the wrap had melted around the casserole. My wife yells up the stairs, "What moron puts plastic wrap in the oven??!!" After momentary silence, I yell back down, "Obviously THIS moron!" ;-)

Most Memorable WIS moment: 
I've only had one team finish its season (Camp World). That team finished at 71-91...so, perhaps not losing 100 games my first time out is "memorable."

HBD owner that you respect/fear the most (Why?): 
Haven't been around long enough yet.

If you could change one thing about Mike Trout (the world), what would it be?: Relax the minimum win rule for a "first season" player, or new player.

If you could change one thing about HBD what would it be?: 
Set it up so that "worlds" would start on a SPECIFIC date...if the world wasn't filled, then the "Sim" would become manager of a specific team. I think people would be more apt to join if they knew they didn't have to wait for 32 people to sign up for a given world.

Favorite player(s) on your team?: 
This is my first season with the team...don't have any favorites yet.

Team review. Projected Win total for Season 11: 
54 (one shy of the minimum)... You may have to say "bye" to me before I get another chance at this. I'm trying to turn this team around from its 45 wins last season.
