FFL - 2012-13 - Voting on Rule Change - draft order posted

[jazzfan1971]

complicated? really? complicated?
you can't add more than 45 players in a season and can't add more than 4 players in a week. HOW ON EARTH is that complicated? that's just an excuse to object against it. I hope you had a valid reason behind it. Other than inclination towards streaming I don't see how 4 players a week limit can affect your opinion about this.

you know what's complicated? Jazzfan's suggestion:

I'd love for the rule to be unlimited adds/drops with teh limitation that you can't add a player who's team has more games remaining that week than the one you dropped.

it isn't that hard to program in as a. option. and it would stop streaming cold without any add or drop limits. I think yahoo should do this.

[Woody Allen]

I think in addition to that, there needs to be a limitation that you can't add a player who's taller and/or has a higher standing reach than the one you dropped. Otherwise it's cheating.

[floppymoose]

And you can't add Rashard Lewis. That's GOTTA be cheating.

[jazzfan1971]

Or. If the player you are adding has more games left, you dno't get credit for the next game(s) until the game total is equal.

[floppymoose]

jazzfan, I've thought about those kinds of settings some. So far I'm not satisfied with anything I've seen or thought of, though I still tinker with it. One problem with the system you mention is that it seems like it should be fine to try to get extra games (via replacing a player with another who is playing more) if your opponent is projecting to get more games played than you are.

Another approach to this would be to determine what the median games played per week should be, given the roster sizes and league settings, and just make a games played cap for each matchup.

[jazzfan1971]

Sometimes you get more games than your opponent, sometimes you get less. It's basically a wash. It doesn't really cause much imbalance. The imbalance comes when one team consistently has more games than his opponents.

I think a simple option that prevents adds/drops from increasing # of games during the current week would be a nice option to have. I think it'd be a heck of a lot simpler than all these machinations that we have now. And folks like WB could still add and drop to their hearts content that way with nobody even thinking something streaming is going on. The only folks that would complain would be those that specifically want to stream, and if those guys wanted out of the leagues I'm in I'd be fine with that.

[sabonis]

I don't understand your suggestion, what is "increasing # of games during the current week" ?

[bww78]

I guess we vote then.

48 hours.

Let me know which option you prefer"

1) 45 limit with no weekly limit

2) 45 limit with a 4 add weekly limit in addition

Majority wins.

I only vote in the event of a tie.

[Woody Allen]

1) 45 limit with no weekly limit

[Woody Allen]

And for the record I ask the 60 moves limit to be reinstated.

Last year, the 45 limit somehow passed with only 9 votes in favor. If you want to CHANGE a rule already in place, you need the majority, which is at leat 11 votes.

[jazzfan1971]

2, but, I don't think it'll make much difference either way.

[jfrost]

1) 45 limit with no weekly limit

[Breakdown777]

I made few add/drops last year.

The player pool was non-existent. If you wanted a guy who was a half-way decent option after an injury, odds are they were picked up hours beforehand.

Therefore I deem these rule amendments tedious. In other words...I don't care.

I'm sorry if my no vote offends some of you, but I don't feel strongly either way. I'll let those who care decide.

[sabonis]

2) 45 limit with a 4 add weekly limit in addition

[tkunit]

1. thats a vote for rule change option 1 and ill take #1 for the lotto

Or there could be a rule requiring player added from the wire most remain on your roster for four weeks.

[theman]

I'll take 5 if it is still available.

[Cyrus]

I want option 3) 45 limit, with 4 adds regular season, and 1 ADD in the playoffs, or NONE. You go with what got you in, for better for worse.

[hamncheese]

I take #16.
