A majority of votes. Abstentions don't sink a motion. I'll pursue as many votes as we can get though.

I vote no merely because I'm already on the fence about continuing, so doesn't make sense to me to pay $20 for it.
-
Will result be determined by majority of those voting, or does pay-to-play require majority of league in favor?
-
If someone has a financial situation that makes it difficult to pay the $20, they can private message me and we'll figure it out. Other than that, it would be pay to play.

If the league votes in a pay structure, the $20 fee would be a requirement for playing in the league.

I vote no on the fee/pool. And I think it's important to be clear about whether this requires a majority of teams (or votes) to pass and how we'd deal with 3-4 who won't pay (not just opposed but unwilling to participate), as this has been an issue in the past when this has been discussed.
-
I'm fine with throwing 20 bucks in.
-
It is $20 into a separate prize pool, regardless of Ottoneu's site fees.

Sorry, one more question: is it $20 total or in addition to the $10 we pay for Ottoneu? If the former, then my vote is yes.
-
Ok, so we have a second for the pay structure I outlined below. We'll now have a vote on that. Please comment here or message me with your vote prior to Sunday at 11:59pm. Yes is a vote in favor of the new rule. No is a vote against. Majority rules. As commissioner, my vote only counts in the case of a tie.

Thanks! I second the motion. I volunteer to donate any winnings to charity as a sign of this not being about me wanting to make money.
-
1. We can't do head to head on ottoneu.
2. Not sure if that counted as a second on my pay league motion or a separate rules suggestion or both.
3. As for the rebuilding thing, I personally believe that in a 12 team league, there is more than enough talent available in the auction and on the waiver wire throughout the season that no one should go into the auction planning not to compete that year.
4. We could have an optional pay model, but it would need to be motioned as a formulated rule.

Perhaps this is too complicated, but if there was some system we could come up with for alleviating that. Like entering in to win is optional, or there’s like a “league 2” that’s cheaper. Not sure, but that’s my first thought
-
As for paid league, I think I would be down, but I do have one issue: the nature of this league (which I love) is that teams rebuild. Like I did this year and into next. So it’s hard for me to justify paying extra knowing full well I don’t plan to contend.
-
One proposed rule change, if it’s an option, would be Head to Head format. The season is long enough to still even out fairly, and I think it would make it more fun.
-
To summarize:
1. Make any or all nominations for relegations prior to Friday night at 11:59 pm.
2. Second my suggestion for a paid league structure if you want to vote on it.
3. Make any additional new rule suggestions also by Friday night at 11:59 pm.

Also, if you have any desired rule changes to vote on, please suggest them so we can get seconds and schedule votes prior to the beginning of arbitration on Oct. 15.

Also, I would like to once again propose that we turn this into a paid league with the structure of a $20 entrance fee, the winner receiving $120, 2nd place receiving $60, 3rd place receiving $40, and 4th place receiving $20. This will increase the stakes and help ensure that the end of the season is more exciting. If there is a second, I will schedule a vote for this rule change.

Per league rules nominations are now open for relegation. Exposed to a nomination are the following players: DK (Hall of Frank), Nick (Bleacher Bums), Shrews (Reigning Champs #AlternativeFacts), and Brandon Standifer (Dingers & Stingers). If anyone would like to nominate one of them for relegation, post here or message me privately and a vote will be held.

Congratulations Andrew! Now that every Pieper has a championship I can go back to winning it every year again. ;)

You cut the $ penalty toward your cap in half by doing that. So like instead of having $4 penalty you pick that player up again and drop them and now it is only $2. So you actually gain $2

Is there some sort of advantage that I am unaware of that can be had by picking up players then immediately dropping them? That seems to happen a lot, and it seems like wasting dollars. But I assume it has some purpose?

Looking to deal out of the excess of SS prospects if anyone's interested. Though I prefer to keep Rosario. Crawford, Adames, Rodgers available for different prospects.

Looking to trade Beltre or Rendon for similar value player at different position or starting pitcher. Next year Sano will not have OF eligibility so I'm looking to make room so I won't have to bench one of them.

Nah. Your players are too young, cheap, and healthy.

Trying to decide whether to buy or sell. If you want to sell me your players send some offers. If you want me to sell you my players send some offers.

For real tho, none of y'all want Mike Trout, Josh Donaldson, or Miguel Cabrera? The lack of trade offers is sickening. #FlagsFlyForever
