A player will receive an automatic invitation if he appears in four or more games the previous season.

This ordinance is premised on the “first season’s precedent” theory. The minimum games played by players in the first season was four. It makes sense to establish that as a minimum, as that represents one-third of scheduled games, a rational minimum.

As the Superbas move forward, it is imperative to recruit new players that will make the games, not only to avoid nasty forfeitures, but also to encourage better game-play, and to improve player morale.

All team ordinances — all four of them — are available on the website.
