Just a couple of questions on this more than anything:
A) Why specify younger than 24 years old in #2? That would lead me to read that if you have 5 years of minor league time and are 23 you're eligible for rule V but if you're 25 you're exempt when clearly that wouldn't be the case with #1 (since you're already eligible once you pass four years and are older than 23). If anything #2 should read 5 years of minor league service time and is more than x years old to avoid confusion unless you're allowing prospects of any age to get picked once they reach 5 years, in which case you could just eliminate #2 and change #3 to 5 or more years of minor league service time.
B) Why make the cutoff age next June 5 (presumably the date of next year's MLB draft) instead of when the Rule V draft is actually taking place?

B) Why make the cutoff age next June 5 (presumably the date of next year's MLB draft) instead of when the Rule V draft is actually taking place? So this is all based on the following two selection criteria per the Wikipedia page: Players are eligible for selection in the Rule 5 draft who are not on their major league organization's 40-man roster and: were 18 or younger on the June 5 preceding their signing and this is the fifth Rule 5 draft upcoming; or were 19 or older on the June 5 preceding their signing and this is the fourth Rule 5 draft upcoming. Maybe I should re-write the constitution to just reflect this wording, but how it stands now is basically a translation away from using the date of each player's signing (since this would be awfully tedious to find and record for every player) and towards just age. Another way to say this would be: (1) 4 years of minor league service time as denoted in the “1st pro year” column of the league spreadsheet and was 19 or older on June 5th of their 1st pro year (2) 5 years of minor league service time and was 18 or younger on June 5th of their first pro year --- Here I did realize I needed to remove "or more" - thanks for pointing that out. The spreadsheet formula is unaffected by this, it was just a matter of wording.

I am confused on this change in the fact that a few of my players rule 5 eligibility has changed. For rule (1) is it 4 years of minor league service time OR MORE, and (2) is it 5 years service time OR MORE. For example some of the guys that were previously eligible whose first year of minor league service was 2013, just to experiment I changed this to 2012 and they become ineligible for rule 5 draft even though they theoretically have one more year of service time.

It is exactly, not or more. This is the same way the MLB rule 5 eligibility once - a player is only ever eligible for a single Rule 5 Draft over the course of his career
