Charlie Hustle and Flow will have possession of the FSB Keeper League National Conference Trophy until another champion is crowned. After each season the champions name will be engraved on the FSB Keeper League National Conference Champion Trophy (image on the right). Charlie Hustle and Flow and Striking Everybody will also have Division Trophies that they can keep forever.

The two Division winners are Striking Everybody (West) and Charlie Hustle and Flow (East). These two teams are awarded division trophies that will be kept forever (the league championship trophy is held by the current league champion and passed on from year to year with updated with every champions name, like the Stanley Cup).

FSB Keeper League Information and Rules:

Trophies and Cash Prizes: Each season FSB Keeper League will award trophies to the two division champions (East and West) and the National Conference Champion. That is a total of 3 trophies for each season.

Each Division winner will be awarded free team membership for the following season. The Toilet Bowl Champion will also be awarded a free team for the following season.

Scoring: The league is scored head-to-head in a 5X5 format on a weekly basis. The scoring categories include; Batting Average, Home Runs, RBI, Runs, Stolen Bases, ERA, WHIP, Wins, Saves, and Strikeouts.

Setting Weekly Roster:Rosters are set weekly. The deadline to set your weekly roster is every Monday at 12am CST.

Regular Season Scheduling:
During the 2009 each team will play a 23 week schedule. The top two teams in each division make the playoffs, with the other four teams playing for the toilet bowl trophy.

The team with the best record in each division after the 23 week schedule will be crowned division champion and awarded a division champion trophy.

Playoffs: After the 23 game regular season the top two teams in each division will advance to the league playoffs.

In the Championship Bracket, the teams with the top two records in each division will play each other in the first round of the playoffs.

The winners of the two first round games will advance to the National Conference Championship Two Week Final. The scores of the two weeks will be combined and a National Conference Champion will be crowned. The National Conference trophy will display the name of every past Conference Champion and passed on to the new champion from season to season.

The Toilet Bowl Tournament will crown a toilet bowl champion that will be awarded a free team for the 2009 season.

The bottom two teams in each division will advance to the toilet bowl. The 3rd place finisher in each division after the 21 game regular season will play the 4th place finisher in each division in round one of the toilet bowl championship. The two toilet bowl round one winners will play for the toilet bowl championship the 2nd and 3rd week of the toilet bowl playoffs.

The draft order for the bottom four teams in the standings will be based on regular season records. Not the Toilet Bowl Tournament.
This will help prevent teams from tanking in the toilet bowl from draft pick purposes.

Regular season records will also determine the draft order for the 3rd and 4th place finishers.

Keeper Players: Each team will be allowed to keep any 4 baseball players on its roster from year to year. Keepers are posted at the team�s official message board during the offseason.

Roster Size: Each team consists of a 20 man roster, and a farm player.

Farm Player: Any player could be added to the farm for any reason (injured, development), and another player could be picked up in his place.

Starting Lineup: The 16 players starting lineup consist of; 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, C, 3 OF, UTL, 5 SP, 2 P (SP/RP). Rosters are set on a weekly basis and are due no later than Monday at 10am Central Time. If rosters are not set by this time the previous weeks roster will be submitted.

Tie Breakers: Playoff and regular season tie breakers are as followed: First, Division winning percentage, second, head to head match ups, third, year to date (YTD) points, fourth ERA, and last Batting Average.

Trading: Trades have a 48 hour review period. Once a trade is submitted and e-mails are sent out to league members, the trade cannot be declined by the two parties who have agreed upon the trade. Agreed trades that are cancelled within the two day review period by one of the two parties will still be processed. The only way a trade can be declined is if four fellow league members e-mail the league to notify that they believe the trade is unfair.

Draft picks can also be traded.

Waivers: Dropped players will be placed on waivers for 24 hours. A worst to first waiver right format exists. The team with the worst record in the league will have the waiver rights; second worst record has second priority, and so on.

Free Agents: Free agent pickups are unlimited, without waiver priority.

Eligibility: A Player must play one game at particular position to be to qualify for that position. The position must be played at least once in the current or previous season.

Drafting: The inaugural draft will be a serpentine (snake) draft, 1-8 then 8-1 for 20 rounds. Every other draft after the inaugural draft will be a 16 round draft, with the worst team in the conference having the first pick in each round (1-8 then 1-8).

Two very important things to remember that regard the draft.

First, pre-rank your players. Go to �Rank Player� after you have logged into your team. It is very important to rank players by overall want, then by position. This needs to be done.

Second, it is important to adjust your draft setting. First click �Enter Draft� after you have logged into your team, then click �Draft Settings�. Choose either �I WILL PICK� or �COMPUTER PICK�. Select �I WILL PICK� If you can�t make the live draft. Select �COMPUTER PICK�. Again make sure your players are pre-ranked, because if you miss the draft this is the order your players will be selected in. This should be done at least two weeks before the draft.

Date and Draft Chat Room: All league members who are drafting live must enter this chat room at least 15 minutes before the draft. Please post your name and the name of your franchise upon arrival. The National Conference draft is scheduled for Sunday March 29th 2009 at 5PM. Any team who is not logged in to the chat room by 11:45 Central Time will be drafting �COMPUTER PICK� until they make their first post in the chat room.
