World For Life is approaching Season 13 
This is a very unique and challenging world in that its intent is to have teams built from the ground up and have players remain with their franchise "For Life". 
To that end, the league specific rules are as follows: 

-- Team names: They must be the same as they have been from previous seasons and are all major league franchises (except one -- Charlotte, which is a minor league franchise as there weren't 32 to choose from.... actually two, but the other is the Montreal Expos, so a former ML franchise) 
-- Free Agency: The intent of the league is for players to stay with their franchises "For Life" so there is no signing of Free Agents from other franchises until the "Open" Free Agent Period that will be set and put out by the Commissioner. Our "Open" Free Agent Period begins the day before the Rule V Draft (so at the end of the traditional Free Agency Period). 
-- Trades: There are no trades allowed. 
-- Waiver Wire: Waiver Claims are not allowed. 
-- Released Players: Released players are "Fair Game" to be signed by anyone at any time. This includes Arbitration Eligible Players that are released. You can tell that a player has been released (as opposed to "Left Via Free Agency") by looking at the transaction page on his player card. 
-- Rule V Draft: No Players may be taken in the Rule V Draft. 
-- Prospect Payroll: There is no limit to what an owner may set or transfer into their prospect payroll. 

You must be willing to agree that willful non-compliance with the set rules will result in your willing removal from the league, to be replaced by an owner willing to play by and respect the rules. There will also be no excuses tolerated for missing out on signing your own players in time, etc. The point here is that we're all adults. We shall play the game as such. Much like WiS policy, there will be no helping out in case of "user error". 

Available Teams: 
Charlotte Knights 
Florida Marlins
Milwaukee Brewers
Pittsburgh Pirates
Philadelphia Phillies
San Diego Padres
St. Louis Cardinals


Let me know (in this thread or via sitemail) if you are interested.

Great league which has had some great competition over the years. No clear dynasty (in terms of WS wins). A lot easier to turn a team around then you would think. KC is one of the best commishes in HBD.

This is a great concept. It really *is* different from everything else.

Really harkens back to the pre-Flood "reserve clause" days. A very unusual HBD concept that's a lot of fun. Join us!

Very fun league, requires a different kind of thinking and approach in order to do well. Fun challenge, if you're capable of playing outside of your comfort zone.
