Steve Liles says:
The Patriot League is face-to-face basic dice game using master game pitching numbers, lefty-righty factors, and a variation of the base stealing. We have a salary cap and a salary structure based on BA and HRs and pitcher rating. Each manager keeps 12 players from a base team (e.g. Yankees) and drafts 13 players from teams not being used, staying within the salary cap. We have playoffs and a World Series. We’re always looking for new managers in the Hampton Roads area.
Maybe we’ll convince Steve or someone else at the Patriot League to write an article on how they do the salary structure. That might be an interesting read.
