Rules for 2012 - Misc. (Read 85 times)

[Bobby]

1. Bids count against the roster limit but claims do not.

This issue was brought up by the A’s during the season. It is my understanding that the A’s no longer have a problem with the different treatment.

In a nutshell, requiring a waive to claim, is a. detrimental to losing teams, which waiver order is designed to help; b. waiver period will essentially become a 2 minute period instead of 48 hours; and c. will actually bring time zones into play, which we endeavor to eliminate.

2. Player movement on Yahoo is processed for the next day. Since you cannot use the player you are receiving, you ARE allowed to use the player you are trading away. Think of trades as being reviewed and approved overnight.

3. Prospect release should be closer to the beginning of the season and moved to match the deadline for contract setting (about one week before Opening Day). Allows a longer look at prospects and one less deadline to forget. Don't forget the player must clear waivers PRIOR to cancel.

Bobby, is it possible to be able to pick up one of your guys on Yahoo! and use them same day? I think that would be a good feature just in case you forgot to pick up a SP a day in advance or something like that.

[Bobby]

It has NOT been possible in the past to add and use the same day. We will know if it has changed before the season, when they light up Yahoo as soon as you add players. Typically you have to look at the next day to see them.

Just my peanut gallery input. I had no problem with any of the rules as they were. I do not have the time to keep up with voting and changes. Just tell me what the rules are and I will play by them.
You guys are starting to make this more complicated than it should be, causing me to consider not playing.
What's up with JohnnyBravo? He can show in October when nothing is going on but not when things should start happening.
My only vote is we move on without him as soon as Bobby has completed checking rosters.

[Giants]

I'm not in favor of moving on without giving Bravo adequate time. We normally didn't start until after the holidays. He checked in back in October, so I wouldn't be surprised if he doesnt show up until January, like we've done in years past. He's one of the oldest remaining owners, so I don't think we should cut bait with him so quickly.

Isn't the deadline to post rosters a month ago? Just saying. I want to see Bravos back but he needed be on top of the ball and have the his roster posted last time he was logged in.
