The Premier Baseball Dynasty League (PBDL) runs a promotion relegation system with 3 leagues:
Gold League – 8 Teams
Silver League – 8 Teams
Bronze League – 8 Teams
Fictional players, logos/jerseys based on
NHL teams.
Draft Lottery
Regular Season – 84 games, play each team within your league 12 times (7x12=84)
4 of 8 teams make the playoffs. Both rounds are 9 game series.
Either one or two teams get promoted from Bronze and Silver leagues every season. Promotion occurs for the team that finishes first overall during the regular season as well as for the team that wins the league championship. If the first place team wins the championship, then only one team is promoted from that league for that season. The bottom one or two teams (depending on how many are getting promoted from the league below) in Gold and Silver get relegated.
Customized financial system that is driven purely off of a rolling five year point accumulation system that drives media revenue as the sole source of revenue. There are no ticket sales and there is no merchandising revenue. The better you perform over the rolling five years, the more revenue you will receive. As set up, it should provide a decent degree of financial parity while rewarding successful franchises. Please refer to the Constitution for a more detailed explanation of how finances will work.

This league provides a very engaging experience and financial resource management is critical to success. The playoff setup keeps the season interesting even if your team is struggling as it should only take a ~.500 record or so to make the playoffs. The season is short enough that a rebuilding team will be able to remain engaged. The draft is also orchestrated to reward teams that are doing everything they can to find that extra piece whether through free agency, on the waiver wire, or in their own minor league system that will get them a few extra wins (no more coasting to an easy rebuild but still friendly enough to allow weaker teams to improve). Finally, the financial setup along with no cash cap insures that all decisions count. Will you focus resources on player development, coaching, international amateurs or the players on the field...how will you deal with the overpriced, aging vet who is hogging your precious cash resources?
