Michael and I have been discussing some ideas regarding improving the league. There are some changes that we were thinking of implementing, but we want to put these ideas out to you for discussion, to see what your feelings are and if you have any ideas of your own.
Incentives
We would like to reward owners who participate and provide uploads with each sim. As a result, we are proposing awarding teams with high participation rates with supplemental draft picks during the amateur draft.
If you submit an update more than 50% of the time, you will be rewarded with a supplemental 3rd round pick. If you can manage 66% of the time, it gets upgraded to a second round pick. If you submit an update every sim (with one non-submission allowed), then it gets upgraded to a first round pick.
All draft picks awarded in this manner will be given at the end of the round, in random order and are non-tradeable before the end of the season.
Change in Sim Schedule.
We are also considering changing the in-season sim schedule. Currently, we sim half a month every week, once a week. We are proposing to change the sim schedule to twice a week, with each sim covering one week. This will allow you to have greater control over your roster (you can make better decisions regarding the disabled list, waivers and designating players for assignment) as well as using the seven day lineups in the game.
Let us know what you think! We want to hear from you!

hi i like both but would doing twice a week be too much work for you
ReplyDeleteThanks, Fred. I think we'll be okay with it. I would not have suggested it if I didn't think that Michael and I could handle it.

I've been in a league that did three sims per week, and that didn't seem to be a significant problem for active owners.
ReplyDeleteThe idea for multiple sims is that Zev and I would take turns. One would be run mid-week (on Wednesday, like currently) with the second weekly sim on the weekend (probably Sunday).
ReplyDeleteWhat is someone is on holiday, would they still get first round pick if they update every other SIM and told you about being away?
