"SHOELESS" JOE JACKSON
.. was an American baseball player who played Major League Baseball in the
early part of the 20th century. He is remembered for his excellent perform-
ance on the field and for his association with the Black Sox Scandal, when members of the 1919 Chicago White Sox participated in a conspiracy to fix
the World Series. Kenesaw Mountain Landis, Major League Baseball's first commissioner, banned Jackson from playing after the 1920 season due to
his alleged involvement in the scandal. But for nearly 85 years, fans have
argued as to whether or not the White Sox legend truly deserves such a
stiff penalty, especially when he was acquitted of any wrong doing.

This world is dedicated to Shoeless Joe.

WORLD RULES

CITIES

Franchises must remain in their current cities. Owners who remain in the world for 5+ seasons have the opportunity to move their franchise to another city. If they elect to do so, the city must have a home stadium less "extreme" than the current city. Less "extreme" is being defined as a ballpark with effects that are totaled fewer than "10". Owners can change cities once for every 5 seasons they stay in the world. (If they choose to do so)

ANTI-TANKING

All franchises must win AT LEAST 55 games each season. Failure to do so will result in being put on "Probation" for the following season, as judged upon by the Shoeless Joe Committee. By being put on probation, you MUST increase your win total by at least 5 games the following season. Failure to do so will result in a possible removal from the league, as judged upon by the Shoeless Joe Committee. If the owner stays in the league for two more seasons and he increases the win total by 5 games each season, he would be removed off “Probation”.

PROSPECT BUDGET

No team will be allowed to have more than a total of 30m in their prospect cash budget. Franchises who violate this rule must accept a 3M Prospect Cash penalty next season for every 1M gone over. Owners who fail to comply to this rule may risk removal from the league. This rule was made so all teams have a fair opportunity to sign any International Free-Agent discovered.

CASH IN TRADES (effective S9)

As voted on by the respective owners of the Shoeless Joe World, cash included in trades must NOT exceed salaries of the players in the trade. Failure to do so will result in a veto of the trade.
