Hi James,
Last year we had 13 teams and in the offseason 1 team left. Should you decide to join the league, you can either take over that team or choose to take an expansion team. Should you decide to take an expansion team, we would perform an MLB-like expansion draft to get your roster started. Offseason trading is allowed all through February and we will draft in March in the Hartford area.
New owners will not go into the regular draft empty handed. I've got all of the rules and a roster spreadsheet that i can email you if you are interested. email me at
mailto:mj31s@hotmail.com and I'll let you go over it if you'd like.
