The 2021-2022 PGL-WB Season
will follow normal procedures (trades, draft, roster cuts, waivers, 162 games regular
season, ten-team post-season, with the following differences
·
All roster limits will
be increased as follows.
o
Just prior to the
draft, teams will cut their rosters to no more than 26 players (increase of two
from a normal season)
o
During the draft, teams
will make selections until their roster consists of 38 players (increase of two
from a normal season)
o
Active rosters will be
28 for Segments 1-6, with a maximum of 15 pitchers. NOTE - this is an
increase of three from past PGL-WB seasons, but MLB had planned to go to 26 man
rosters in 2020 before the pandemic and the PGL-WB would have followed
suit. So the PGL-WB's new "normal" regular season roster size
would have been 26 beginning in our 2021-2022 season.
o
Active rosters will be
unlimited for Segments 7-8, which is an effective increase of two as teams will
have a total of 38 players on their rosters instead of the normal 36.
o
Playoff active rosters
will be 28 players, with a maximum of 15 pitchers.
·
Draft order will be
determined by the existing formula, with the 2020 MLB season stats used for
each player
·
For the 2021-2022
PGL-WB Season, the PGL will use the 2020 SOM card set that is based on ACTUAL
2020 MLB results, with at bats and innings pitched played multiplied by 3.00
(2.7 x 104% x 105%, rounded up to 3.00) to determine maximum at bats and
innings pitched for each player.
·
In normal seasons,
there is no penalty for up to ten overuse points (with one AB of overuse
counting as one overuse point and on IP of overuse counting as three overuse
points). For the 2021-2022 PGL-WB season, the number of overuse points
before penalties begin to accrue will be as follows - depending upon each
team's position in the draft order (before imposition of any penalties from the
previous 2020-2021 PGL-WB season):
o
Picks #1 to #3 - 610
overuse points
o
Picks #4 to #6 - 510
overuse points
o
Picks #7 to #9 - 410
overuse points
o
Picks #10 to #12 - 310
overuse points
o
Picks #13 to #15 - 210
overuse points
o
Picks #16 to #18 - 110
overuse points
o
Picks #19 through #24 -
10 overuse points
·
In allocating the above
increased no-penalty overuse availability among its players, no individual
player may exceed six times his actual 2020 MLB ABs / IPs.
·
If SOM produces a
second 2020 card set that is based on projections or adjusts actual 2020 MLB
results, NO CARDS from this card set will be used in the PGL-WB's 2021-2022
season.
·
The Independence League
will use the Designated Hitter in the 2021-2022 PGL-WB season
ALL OF THE ABOVE RULE CHANGES ARE FOR THE 2021-2022 PGL-WB SEASON ONLY - AND WILL NOT APPLY TO FUTURE SEASONS.
