*Note: These are the only settings available for league-wide control, so anything else is personal preference. We will all still be on the same difficulty level with guess pitch & zones off, but this allows everyone to use whatever other gameplay options they are most comfortable with.
RULES:
- No glitching/cheesing. This includes frequent early stealing & dirt balling, intentionally hitting batters, or wasting time.
- Everyone must rotate through their team’s entire 5-man pitching rotation during the regular season. This can be shortened to a MINIMUM of a 3-man rotation during the postseason.
- No quitting. The first is a automatic boot.
- All playoff games must be streamed on Twitch.
