- Create a Player system.
- Booster Points system: Boost created players, Boost Created Personnel, Send existing Personnel to learning seminars, or Delete a pitch.
- Extended double dipping vs. Emergency double dipping?
- Manually return your personnel to their previous team after winter-ball finishes.
- Move up the draft pool announcement so the pool becomes available in the game earlier, COMP ends sooner?
Suggestions being put to a vote:
- TEAM CASH collected via fines for violating the rulebook will be put into a pool and distributed back out to teams in the following ways:
(does not apply to fines paid via future misc. player expenses, Team cash only!)
A)
B)
C)
D)
E)- Rule 5 status to waiver claims
- 2nd Lottery:
Teams ranked 11-18 (the rest of non-playoff teams) have their own lottery for 1st Rd pick positioning.
Any team failing to meet the 50-win threshold is also entered into this lottery
Rationale: Encourage teams to push for wild card spots as there will be no draft penalty
- 25 Wins per 81 Lottery:
Instead of teams needing 50 wins to avoid lottery penalty teams would need 25 wins in both the first 81 and second 81 games.
Rationale: Discourage mass sell-offs after teams have put themselves in a good position to achieve 50. A more fair playing field for their in-season opponents.
