[USML Announce] USML 2006 - important league update

[john.fruit at usbank.com]

I think league size at 10 is fine, but I agree the salary caps should be
adjusted to keep integrity of player dollar values.

I agree with Buddha and Jim.  We've played with 10 (and even 9) teams
before with little problem.

I vote to play with 10 teams under the current rules---no amendments.

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.
