1971 Top Prospect Rankings

[CSCommish]

As noted in the new ruling now in effect:

Top Prospect Promotion Fan Interest Boosts:
- Top 15 Position Players and Top 15 Pitchers, as shown in Top 100 Prospects list, as of each season's Opening Day sim, will be eligible.
- Prospects called up after file flip but prior to Opening Day sim will still be eligible, but subject to its rank as of the Opening Day sim.
- Commish will post an annual list and potential Fan Interest boost in the "Prospect Promotion" Board/Thread prior to running the Opening Day sim.
- Owner must announce (post) intended call-up prior to June 1st (essentially prior to Extensions being open) in order to earn the boost and the prospect must remain on Active Roster until end of World Series, except when serving time on the DL, or the boost will be taken away.

- Fan Interest will be increased by the following formula: (21 - Top 15 Rank), with Fan Interest not to exceed 90 overall.
- Multiple call-ups will stack Fan Interest boost, but only by an additional 5 points, with Fan Interest not to exceed 90 overall.
