Actually things seem to be running pretty smoothly. Not sure if there will be any polls unless this thread spawns some discussion that needs one or if any new ideas are presented.
All I have in mind is two minor tweeks.
First there will be a new rule implemented. On December 1 in game each season I will move any players on the 60 day DL to the 40 man roster. This is how MLB operates. There is no disabled list in the off season in MLB. The ability to do this in OOTP allows for a hack to have more than 40 players protected from the rule V draft. To me this is a no brainer and is just closing a loophole. A poll could be created for voting if anyone thinks that is appropriate.
Second we are going to have to modify the timing of the draft slotted picks. I think we had a great introduction to completing the full draft in Stats+ last season. However, I took a week vacation during the draft and we did not sim while I was away. Even with that extra time we barely had enough to complete the draft. Also I would really like to build in some extra time between when the draft pool is announced and when pick 1 is due so that everyone has ample time to do their analysis. I am proposing reducing times for rounds 15-25 from 15 minutes to 1 minute. Those rounds can be pretty easily managed by lists for teams that are interested and that would buy us almost a week real time. I think we could also reduce rounds 5-15 from 15 minutes to 5.
So, my proposed schedule is:
Round 1 / 1 hour
Rounds 2-3 / 30 minutes
Rounds 4-5 / 15 minutes
Rounds 6-14 / 5 minutes
Rounds 15-25 / 1 minute
Again, not planning on opening a poll at this point. We have to make a change here. But happy to hear feedback on my proposed schedule.
Viva le PBL!
