i think we should at least figure out what we're voting on, so I'm going to consolidate all of the things we talk about into the first post, that way we don't miss anything we've discussed, and all the absentees can see them in a clear fashion later.

EDIT: Let's clarify to say that if four people sponsor this rule, it'll pass to a vote.

EDIT: If we can get two thirds right here in this thread, would everyone be okay just adopting it?

- Catastrophe IR Spot-
Each owner is allowed to place an injured player into an Injured Reserve (IR) spot. However, if this IR privilege is used, than the owner is required to KEEP that player the following year. The player may still be traded, but must be a KEEPER for the respective owner traded as well.
-EDIT: As this rule is currently constructed, the player can return to the active roster within the season.
Sponsors (4): Karma, Gyno, LE, McCain,

-Traditional IR Spot-
Each owner is allowed to place injured player(s) into an Injured Reserve (IR) spot. The IR's eligibility will be dictated by ESPN. At the end of the player's IR eligibility, he can be moved back into the active roster.
Sponsors (2): McCain, Gyno

-Game Cap Limits-
Limiting the number of games that an owner can amass each week. Rule aimed at trying to balance scheduling irregularities, and force owners to choose which games should count towards their scoring H2H. All games over limit would not count. To be discussed- how limits will be enforced and penalties for exceeding limits. Proposed Limit: 50 games per week.
-Edit: Phan conditionally supports if FA pickup rule not adopted.
Sponsors (0)

-Free Agent Pickup Limits-
Limiting the number of Free Agents (FA) that an owner can pick up in a week. Rule aimed at preventing streaming. Proposed Limit: 4 FA Pickups per week.
-Edit: LE proposes 4 FA pickups per week.
-Edit: Phan conditionally supports, but only if 3 FA pickups per week
Sponsors (2): LE, Port

-Playoff FA/Waiver Rosters-
All teams not competing in the playoffs are no longer active teams, and can not add or pick up players dropped by playoff teams. All FAs and waivers will continue to the draft pool the following year.
Sponsors (4): Karma, Gyno, Mccain, Phan

-Slow Draft/Live Draft-
Choosing whether the owners will select players on the Fantasy Board on td.com over the course of a pre-selected week, or via live draft on the ESPN website at pre-selected and approved date and time. Majority wins?
Slow (2): Phan, Mccain, RMC
Live (2): Karma, LE

The above would seem to obviate the need for:

we don't need to vote here, but this is your chance to weigh in, add/subtract details of the rules being discussed, and/or propose a rule of your own. Or you can say of the issues that are dual, which one you think we should even be voting on.

just trying to get all the things discussed where people can see them. Let's say that if four people sponsor a rule, we'll put it to a vote.

i'll put the the issues to a vote in three days, with the language being as clear and defined as possible.

Maybe not, but what's the point. If games are capped at 50 streaming provides no benefit so you don't need to guard against it with 3 drop-adds/week.

i think some of the game caps come because of how condensed the schedule was last year, and all the back to back to backs teams played

For, but this needs clarification. If you put someone on this it must be for the enitre season. So if someone is out for 3-4 months and there is a question of them coming back and you put them on this IR even if they come back IRL you cant use them

i don't think that it should necessarily be a pre-req that they can't come back. if someone gets injured in december and won't return til march, i think it's fine for them to be able to come back. the point is to protect people from having to choose between giving up a player at the expense of a season. the rule as is, right now allows for that player's return.

what language would you like to have added?

so what if someone is out for 3 weeks, can we put them on this special IR? I think thats what the other IR is for

I think if you put someone on this IR they must sit out from your lineup for a designated amount of time. Since there isnt really an IR in the NBA I dont want day to day injured people to be able to go this IR without a consequence. This will just lead to a lot more streaming

if you're willing to commit to keeping that player next year, then that's fine.

maybe though, we should adjust this to a one time usage though to make people really have to think about playing this card.
