OK, let's get the boring stuff out of the way before we begin.

The Footnote League will commence in 1901 as per the league structure of the day. It will expand as per history.

It will be populated entirely with historical players at random debut dates. None of these players will have either an OVR or POT rating of more than 50 at the time they join the league.

Scouting, Coaching, Financials, Storylines, Owner Goals, Suspensions, Personalities & Morale will all be ON.

Trading: permitted / hard / favour prospects.

Injuries: low, occasional delayed diagnosis.

Player Dev ON, ageing / dev set to 1 / talent randomness set to 200.

Player eval at 55 / 27 / 13 / 5. 5-year recalc / ratings based on real stats / POT based on peak seasons / fielding & pitcher stamina based on entire career.

All other settings as per 1901 defaults and rolling out each year.

Sabermetric lineups.

Historical Schedule and Playoff format.

Inaugural Draft and then a Supplementary Rookie Draft before Season 1901 begins to ensure all teams have 40 players and there are sufficient FAs to cover injuries etc.

Minors TBA (see next post).

I will have no dog in this fight, merely acting as Commissioner to ensure the league runs as smoothly as possible. At least that's my plan. Mice and men and all that jazz...
