[USML Announce] USML 2006 - important league update

[MBBlocker at aol.com]

League: 
Here is an update on arrangements and deadlines for the coming  season. 
1.  League composition:  Unfortunately, the Protective Cups have  decided not 
to participate in 2006.  Therefore, we will proceed with 10 teams this year, 
unless there is an  immediate consensus for 11 and we have an available owner 
in mind.  This may have an impact on the rules we  want for this year; see 
below. 
2.  Roster Freeze Day:  Roster Freeze Day, according to our  constitution 
(section 17.2), is March 15.  However, because that is a Wednesday, I propose we 
move roster freeze day  to midnight on the 18th, in case people are busy at 
work during the  week.  That deadline would still  give owners two full weeks 
from the draft to adjust their strategies. 
3.  Draft location:  More to come shortly. 
4.  Adjustments to  Rules:  Given the loss of one team  and its 23 active 
roster players, we may wish to consider the following  adjustment to our rules 
for this season: 
Active Roster size: 25 (one additional pitcher and hitter - U) 
Reserve roster size: 18 
Cap/ceiling ? 380/220 
I am not  seeking to impose this.  I have  discuss this with one other owner, 
and it at least merits some  discussion. 
This is all for now.  Please  comment on issues raised above. 
-- Mark  B.
