On usage...

We are going to use 100% usage & once a player reaches ther AB's or IP for the season I will remove them from the roster of that team until Post-season if that team should make it.

Rosters...

I agree on the 25/40 so players are moved automatically when injuries occur. On September 1st, we'll move to a 40 man roster.

Injuries...

We will not use forced injuries, but would consider turning injuries off so it is easier for the manager to control there usage.

With regards to Chief's over usage in the current season, he was allowed 109% usage because of the file mix up so he had 7 players exceed that usage mark. I am in agreement that it was a huge disadvantage for rjoh to have followed the rules while Chief, whether intentionally or not, did not. I would like some some input on this situation, stating whether or not we should do something about it and if so, what should be done? This is not an opportunity to say Chief did or did not do this intentionally, I'm sure Chief would say he did not and I'll take him at his word. The question is should we do something, for example delete game results & replay with the usage restrictions intact or nothing at all.

If we are going to use 100% usage, then just bag injuries. It is a lot easier to manage IMHO. Plus, injuries are no fun anyway.

One minor caveat with removing a player once they reach 100%.
You could reach 100% in the middle of the week or the middle of a series or even a game, so everyone still has to manage their usage and watch it.

100% will be easier than 106% because the ABs and IPs are right on the screen.

If we're using 1911 or an early year, the 35 players at 100% might be a problem? At 106% I had 8 players max out. Not sure if the 35 players would of covered me.
Maybe we should have a 25 man roster with 15 in the minors just in case.

I like the injuries, it adds some realism to the game.

Hi everybody! I have been a bit distracted lately. I am down for any of the leagues listed. I wanted to play 1912, but it is not one of them, so presumably not an option. Of those listed, I guess for some strange reason I find 1920 and 1948 most appealing.

Dont want to mislead anyone but I have no interest in a 1911 league, I would play if its '75 but didnt want anyone to get upset when I decided not to particpate if it won the votes.

I'll step out now if you guys want me to

My druthers would be no injuries. I agree 100% over 154 games seems sensible.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am getting extremely busy at work & will need to delay the start of the next league for 2 or 3 weeks.

Usage/Injuries

Postby ktoe072031 » Fri Nov 11, 2005 11:18 am

I want to put down my opions on the usage/injury issue, agree with them or not.

As long as we don't use computer players, usage should not be an issue. Set the game for "try to limit overusage" and Hal* will suggest line-ups which can be overriden. I have no problem with managers finding that diamond in the rough. What I can't see is making line-ups and changes during a game because of usage. Injuries are different. I don't mind making changes to protect players. I also like to have to make decisions at game time based on who is available. It is the fun of the game, to me at least. In our first season I was eliminated fairly early on but I got great satisfaction out of beating Toi and bobm to create their series for the wild card. Enjoyed the hell out of playing, I do have a problem with getting sweep but I'm working on it. In summary, usage don't care, SADV and force daily injuries on, I ain't quitting no matter what. Put me with RJOH, I like the realism, not to be confused with simulating past seasons or performances.
As far as our first season, I am very happy I was in a division with Ace, Toi and bobm. They are easy to get ahold of, that is the main thing. Secondly, I have no worry about them following the rules as they are layed out. I was once accused of not following rules in TSN and I didn't like it. Honor above all else. The worst thing about the season to me was Yonkers had a great team and didn't show. My problem with that is that he took alot of the good players.
I am looking forward to our next season, looks like it will be 1975. If we get 12 we will be condensing 24 teams to 12 managers so usage may not be that big of a deal. Set the rules up and lets follow them. There can be no excuses after having a season under our belt. When picking teams, keep this in mind:

"Luck is the residue of design" Branch Rickey

Plan ahead. For injuries and/or usage.
