Rjnewman Im in -no DH would be my vote 200 cap

what does a 100/200 cap mean? Does that mean the the league will be created as a 200 cap league but your roster can never exceed 100M? If that is the case then what does the 20% drop penalty do for you?

Yes, you are correct on the cap. But it is my mistake on that being the way we did it this last time around - I got my leagues mixed-up. We had a $200M cap with no limit and we all hovered around $105M based on availability.

So we have three options in my mind (but I am open to others)

1. 100/200 - have to be below 100M any day, but play under a 200M cap league (basically no penalties for add/drop) - in this case LMB is correct - no need for the 20% rule.

2. Regular 100M cap

3. Regular 200M, No Cap, 20% trade differential rule


Sorry for the mix-up :oops: Feel free to change your vote if you want.

No need for lotto states we will have a third party run a randomizer via the ATG Board - so the results will be there for all to see.

Not trying to influence votes here, just an observation on the cap structure. The 100/200 approach basically assures that there will be a greater number of quality free agents available, as teams will not be able to pick and hold players above the limit once they are at 100M. The more challenging part of this is monitoring compliance with the cap, as you cannot simply look at available funds after a few add/drop penalties. In the past I have kept my own spreadsheet with my cap totals and am basically honor-bound to comply. It would get tough if someone decided deliberately not to comply, but hopefully that won't happen.

Since I am OK going with any scenario, I am removing my vote for now and will side with whatever choice gives us a majority in one direction or the other when the other votes are in. If we do not have a simple majority (as we have three options), we will go with the most votes.
