I’m in the process of revamping our league rules. Our move to OOTP made many of our previous league rules (which evolved over 25+ years) unnecessary. Conversely, we need some new rules related to the new game.
This will take me a little time. This is particularly true as we tweak things as we learn more about the game. I apologize if something gets talked about and changed via Slack conversations but doesn’t get updated here right away. Please let me know if you find something off.
Currently, the most up-to-date info for 2020 can be found at the 2020 WLB Roadmap. I am working to update this section of the site with that info.
Contact me directly if you have a question on something not covered.
Thanks for your patience.
