same problem with McCovey, Gibson and I suspect others who are NOT part of the team they were taken from in the new cards.

Is this Chicago style (vote early, vote often) or typical U.S. municipal election (no more than 20 percent of the electorate participates)? :wink:

You really need 3 seperate polls -
A) v1 vs v2

Then, if we use v2:

B) what happens to the new players that are on an existing team:
They stay on that team (Winfield stays with the Yankees)
discard new cards all together
have a seperate draft for new cards only

C) what happens to new players that are new all together:
discard them
have a seperate draft
put them on a team that represents their team (Hershiser would go on an LA Dodger team)

WITH THIS GROUP - WE NEED A TIME WHEN THE POLL IS CLOSED OR WE'LL BE HERE A LONG TIME

[b:3efff0a345]Couple of important thoughts:[/b:3efff0a345]

Firstly, Season 3 (aka Season VII) preparations will not begin until the end of the Season I Playoffs. So basically not until next week. By the time the drops are finalized, we should have 2 weeks of Season II stats under the belt, and could have had 3 if the Season II preparations had gone smoother. That is not to point fingers at anyone - just noting that more weeks of Season II would have been played if things had progressed quicker.

Either way, the schedule, as originally posted, calls for a new season every 4-6 weeks. Season II preparations began over 1 month ago. I do not mind if people drag their feet a little getting Season III underway, but I'd really like to have Season III up and running by early May, and estimating 1 week to post drops, 1 week to draft squads, and 1 week to load, puts us on target for a May 12 for Season start. I would really like to avoid doing a Monday May 19th start as that is a major holiday in Canada and I'll probably be out of town or otherwise occupied.

However we need to settle the question of whether or not to use Version II pricing or not for good. My personal preference, as previously stated, is to stick with Version I pricing. However if Ver. I is going to be removed OR the majority prefer Ver. II, then I am fine with using II. Nonetheless 3 of the remaining 4 voters would need to vote in favour of Ver II to make that a simple majority.

Assuming Ver I is no longer an option, or II is the preferred version, then we can hold another poll to determine the use of the the individual players in the league. My personal preference, again previously stated, is to let the players who had cards altered stick with their original 1/2 teams, and only do a 12 player draft.

However I was under the impression that the players cards were just altered, not that they had gotten completely new cards from a different season. If this is the case, then I suppose a 24 player draft would be a better idea. The draft order should be based on the # of players that you lost due to version II alterations, with ties broken by Season I W/L.

As a side note, I will be out of the country from Apr 30-May 5th. I will have very limited access, maybe checking in just once. I will get my drops in before then, but the draft maybe delayed. I will try to leave proxies depending on if it's started yet.

[geekor]

not sure whom we are missing, but at 6-5 to keeping v1, there doesn't seem to be any majority to change.

[ArrylT]

I concur. About the same result as last season. Basically we'll stick with Version I until it is no longer available, and then move to Version II or ATG IV, whichever works out.
