Could we just simply cap the dollar amount one team can take on in-season?
-
There's four opposed. I guess my main motivation would be to limit loans to hopefully keep more teams competitive longer into the season.

That's my stance as well. At least as things stand right now, arb coupons kind of seem like we're over-thinking it.
-
Agreed.

I agree with keeping the league as is. I believe the competition is top notch and don’t see a need to artificially lower player costs with the coupon system.
-
I prefer to keep the league as is. I feel it's competitive and all owners are active. That being said, if the league felt compelled to tinker and try to improve, I like Fake History's proposal the best.

Simply put, each team gets a dollar amount to reduce their own players' salaries before regular arbitration. These dollar amounts are determined by the points scored in a season and how many loan dollars a team brings in during a season (these numbers are easily found on this site). I'd be more than happy to answer questions and to offer clarification if this is something that interests you.

I am in a different league that uses a arb coupon system (and I just got another to implement it for the next offseason). We've had really good luck with keeping teams competitive for longer periods of time. Check it out here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1la-vq_bawyYhgeu92L8zOWOIovvPzzyb2wD1hzZq0dU/edit?usp=

Is there a competition problem? There's more separation between 2nd and 3rd than there is between 3rd and 10th.
-
I still say we make a move towards the coupon system mentioned earlier rather than a playoff system change to increase competition.
I know that the commissioners can pretty easily set up something like that in their secret commissioners only settings menu.
-
I like a longer playoff structure, with more teams involved, but what about the teams that don't make the cut at the A-S break?

Even a 6-team cutoff at the All Star break would be great, everyone could play for the current season til the all-star break unless your team was awful, and then get great returns after the break for their rentals.

Yeah that would be annoying. Thankfully I don't think we have that problem in this league, but perhaps a playoff setup would work better in a league like that.

I'm all for selling parts, but I took over a team in a league where the winner two straight years was so far ahead in August that he kept selling players to his competitors who were trying to win second place, and he just kept setting himself up for the following season. Completely fair, and part of the game, but it kills competitive balance.

Isn't selling parts away for next season kind of part of the ottoneu allure? Obviously you want each team operating in good competitive faith, but I love that ottoneu is a fantasy format that somewhat resembles actual team building over a long period of time. I also like the idea of games in April having equal importance to games in September. That's what makes the format difficult and grueling.
-
I'd love to see a format where say the top four teams on Aug. 15 get their points reset to zero, and then of those four, whichever team scores the most points during the last six weeks of the season wins the title. Gives more teams incentive to keep competing and doesn't let a runaway team sell parts away to prepare for the following season.

I prefer our current scoring system. And fantasy playoffs put more value on a 2-week run at the end of the season than on the previous 24 weeks.

Did everyone see the announcement about H2H leagues and playoffs? Kind of interesting but I like the full season scoring we have now.

$8 Clint Frazier and/or $8 Hunter Renfroe might be moved for cheap MLB SP if the right deal can be found. Would be willing to pair one with a prospect (Collins, Stewart, Lewis, and/or Alcantara)
