Bonus
Points
|
Bonus points will be awarded
to teams whose hitters or pitchers perform rare feats opposite
their specialties. So, pitchers on your pitching roster will
be awarded bonus points for rare hitting feats and hitters on
your hitting roster will be awarded bonus points for rare pitching
feats. (Note: You cannot put, say, Mike Hampton on your hitting
roster ... you don't want him anyway since his specialty is giving
up home runs, not hitting them!)

for pitching a K
. Pitchers earn 20 points for hitting a home run
. Pitchers earn 50 points for hitting a grand slam

Trades
|
Mid-Season Trades
At mid-season, during
the All-Star break, you will be allowed to trade one (1) hitter
and one (1) pitcher. You will receive the first-half stats of
the player you trade and the second-half stats for the player
you trade for.
Mid-Season Trade Fees
$10 per trade

Disabled
List Trades
|
Disabled List Trades
This year, owners will
be allowed to make up to two (2) 15- or 60-day disabled list
(DL) trades. You can only trade players that have gone on the
official Major League Baseball Disabled List or players that,
within two weeks of the end of the regular season, have been
designated as "out for season." A DL trade is in effect
one day after you notify Pedregoso Rios (by e-mail only) with
a copy to Rube Furrow. DL trades are not retroactive to the date
the player went on the Disabled List or was designated as "out
for season.". You will receive the "to date" stats
of the player that you trade and the remaining season stats of
the player you trade for.
30- or 60-Day Disabled List
Trade Fees
. 15-day DL Trade =
$15
. 60-day DL Trade = $10
. Out-for-Season Trade = $10

Premium Trades
From the April 24 SLPL
Digest:
In an effort to ... juice
the pot for the Overall Champ and Regular Season Champ, the 2003
SLPL is instituting Premium Trades, available to any George Steinbrenner
wanna-be's who erroneously believe they might be able to buy
themselves a championship. Here's how it will work: In addition
to the two Mid-Season trades and two Disabled-List trades, 2003
SLPL owners can make two Premium Trades for $20 per trade. Premium
Trades can be made anytime during the year but before the playoffs
begin.
Premium Trades, like DL trades,
go into effect one day after you notify Pedregoso Rios (by e-mail
only) with a copy to Rube Furrow.
Premium Trade Fees
$20 per trade

The
Rube Clause
|
The
Rube Clause can be summarized thusly: What Commissioner Rube
Furrow says, goes. That means that, despite our best efforts
to rule fairly, give payouts justly, and make sure league owners
are happy campers, Commissioner Rube Furrow's word is the final
word when it comes to any disputes, complaints, statistical anomalies,
and payouts. For additional disclaimers,
