Another exciting World Series is in the books and so we move forward to the off-season and preparation for the 2029 season. Insane to think we are getting ready to start our 20th season. Just a quick glimpse of what the plan is going forward..
As usual I am going to take a few days to get organized for the up coming season and some of the things we will be doing or I have already begun are:
* Recruiting for the 3 open teams we have available * Reviewing the League Rules and coming up with things I want to bring up to the league * Cleaning up the Boards * Continue to review and prepare for transition to OOTP15 * Vote for Season Awards * Complete Hall of Fame Committee to get up to date
Also this is the time and place to post any comments/concerns going forward in the PBL as well as any ideas, etc you would like to see implemented.
Remember any topic is open for debate and even if it becomes a disagreement and an argumentative conversation, its okay if its for the betterment of the league. So far in the 4 years we been doing this we had many of these debates and all have been good, healthy arguments without personal attacks which is exactly how we want it.

Before we continue in the offseason (trades, etc) I hope we get a ruling on two things:
1) Are we allowed to trade first round picks and sign free agent compensation eligible players after that? (I don't believe a ruling was made after the lengthy discussion we had last year)?
2) Are we allowed to send cash in trades to cover for players salary (or any other way we can cover a players salary in a trade for that matter)?

1) What is being done with cash?
2) Are we going to keep scouts on since nobody even found any international free agents?
3) If we keep scouts on, can we try and sign a new one and if so, when?
4) Can we move the Rule V draft back to it's original date, since it cause so many problems last year with eligibility?

Can we please turn on international free agents then the scouts are actually doing something in that case.

1. Agree with Anthony. International free agents should be on.
2. Cash should be able to be traded in a trade. If you have it trade it.
3. As far as Rule 5 maybe should move it back but second time around better?

The rule v problem was a one time thing since the new year had started in OOTP. Although id like to see it in the end of January or Early February.

Yah but shouldn't we be just move it to it normal place? so that've edit repeat the problem again Seems like moving it to its normal date is the smartest choice or some players will get messed up again.

I said it was a one time problem. How would leaving it create the problem again?
The issue is it was moved too the new year in OOTPs world meaning the new season started, so it made 2 years worth of players eligible. Regardless of where it is that was a one off thing and it wouldnt happen again this year.

I just don't trust the game enough so that's why I said to just out it in its original date and we don't have to worry about it.

OOTP's new year is the beginning of the preseason, sometime in February. Im not understanding why the rule v draft would need to be changed back to december 1. I personally like the idea of the draft later in the offseason.

Moving it back now would actually make it worse, as we would have one less year's worth of eligibility than usual.
As Anthony said, it was a one-time thing before as we moved across the year change point. It will now be fine as we will always have one year's worth of new entrants to the draft.

So the players that are eligible and need protected now won't grow again once the rule v starts?
Cause if it does it will mess up a lot of teams again.

I don't think there are big pressing issues. I'd like to see Cash be traded but that doesn't seem likely but other than I think we just push on and talk 15 as the season goes forward. Still bugs and still patches galore needed.
