OTH (Overtime Heroics) Constitution
Basic Overview
The OTH is an OOTP simulation league, which will be formed in 2015 using the default 2015 roster set from OOTP 16. The following is a rundown of the league’s unique settings and rules.
Sim Schedule/ Export Deadline
Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays
All Exports are due by 9:00 PM EST
Roster Limits
The limits for the rosters will be as follows:
• 25 for OTH with ML roster, Roster expands to 40 in September, 40-man rosters in Spring Training
• 30 for all OTH Minor Leagues except for Rookie Leagues which will be 50
Drafts
For the OTH, 30 round drafts will be held in June of every season and will be conducted using in game lists. The season will be paused as we do the first 5 rounds, with individual round lists in game. After the 5 live rounds of the draft the rest of the draft will be done via in game draft lists for the complete remaining 25 rounds.
The draft pools will all be 40 rounds worth of players and completely game generated. The pool will be released 75 days prior to the draft.
Advanced draftee signing is OFF
Trades
Trades will be done on the forum. There will be an area specifically for trades called, “Completed Trades.” Both parties must list all elements of the trade. Simply posting, “confirmed,” will not be accepted. The format for posting and accepting trades is on the forums.
All players involved in the trade should be placed on the teams trade block after the deal is agreed upon. This allows for the commissioner to quickly process the trade.
The commissioner will then attempt the trade in the game. If the trade goes through he will simply post, “Processed.” If the trade does not go through he will post why, and the parties will have to rework the trade.
No Trade Clauses willed be WAIVED, the OTH does not recognize them.
Recently drafted players CANNOT be traded (World Series)
Player Contracts/Salaries Etc.
1. There will be no manipulation of the AI in regards to negotiating salaries. The following rules are in place:
Best Interest of the OTH Rule
From time to time a decision might need to be made for the best interest of the league. (Like bailing a team out of financial ruin.) The Commissioner reserves the right to make such ruling, BUT will not do so without informing the league and having an open discussion about it.
