Altered States Baseball Association
RULES
The basic rules and procedures for the Altered States Baseball Association (ASBA) are below, broken down into specific categories. The ASBA is created for the enjoyment of its members and to re-write the modern history of Major League Baseball. We begin our journey in 1941 during a time when there was no World or Korean Wars and many players we knew of flourished in the 1940s and on into the 50s. Also because of this there will be more Japanese players available and the Negro leagues will also feed into the ASBA as no color barrier exists.

League Structure
16 teams ( 8 per league)
2 Leagues AL & NL
3 Minor Leagues ( AAA, AA, A )
154 game season
Coaches and Scouts turned off
No DH rule
Sim Schedule
The League Commissioner will simulate the regular season daily 7 days per week unless stated differently via league wide email in advance.
Each simulation will consist of one week’s worth of games, unless otherwise stated in a league wide e-mail, chat room and/or the Message Forum.
The World Series will be done over 2 sims
Financials
We'll be using historical financials from 1946 and progress each year as time goes on but there is no free agency. We are under the Reserve Claus Era rules.
