[USML Announce] USML 2006 - important league update

[Richard E. Robbins]

Very interesting.
 
If we are going to consider changing the number of players to be included on
active rosters, don't we also need to change the size of the budget to
spend?  What about minimum AB and minimum IP requirements?  I'm not sure its
worth the effort to figure out what needs to be recalibrated and how to do
that in a reasonable fashion.  I suppose we could leave all the active
roster stuff the same and add to the reserve rosters.  We'd need to consider
which rounds the extra slots would be added to.
 
What are we trying to achieve?  Is there a concern that the pool will be too
rich otherwise?

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.
