I know this question was raised before and voted down, but I thought I would bring it up again. What do you guys think about allowing teams to draft a new stadium if their current stadiums have changed significantly? Ex. my stadium CLE went from a good park for LH to a neutral park. I drafted and traded to build my team to that stadium. Just throwing it out there. Thanks, Jim

5 pre,
4 post

3 unheard from

are any of the post's going to have strong objections if we go pre card draft??

[Jerlins]

Just a quick question, was either Pre or Post stated in the rules? If so, why not just keep it as it was? Personally, I voted for Pre-card based on preference, but if the rules state otherwise, my vote would be to keep it as originally written. If neither is mentioned, you have my vote. Either way, I'm just anxious to keep things moving.

Regardless, I'm just happy everyone has decided to play, I'll be able to use the extra 4 credits 8-) 8-) 8-)

I just doubled checked the rules, and the 1st rule reguarding the start time for the Spring free agent draft was cut off at the beginning I'm not sure if doing a precard draft was in the rules on not.

That said, seeing as I've got to run/oversee these things being the commisioner, and that we seem to be split as to whether to go pre card or post card, I'm going to make an executive decision, if that's okay.

Let's make it post card release and post USKL3 draft start. As I stated in the USKL 3 thread, for those in both leagues, I have a part time job this year that I did not have last year and my attempt to do one of the 2 leagues as pre-card was in an effort to not run both league drafts concurrently. If there is a little overlap I can handle that, but I don't want them to start at the same time.
If eveyone is on board with that I suggest starting this league 2 weeks after the USKL3 draft has started which will be 2 weeks after the cards come out. My reasons for starting this league second are 2 fold:
1. USKL 3 is the older of the 2 leagues and right or wrong I feel they should go first
2. The "hot" stove action in this league has been nonexistant and perhaps by delaying the start of the draft it will get the creative juices of the managers flowing and some deals can be worked out prior to the start of the draft.

If there's any objections let me know, but I think this plan will be best for both the league and for my own time constraints/sanity.
Thanks to everyone for their quick responses.

No way this league can or will survive without you to handle things Bill. I'll stand by and support any decision you make. I know you have the best interest of the league in mind. This is a game and there is no need to stretch your limits. I'm behind you 100%
