Most of the important stuff is here: No one disagreed with any of this.
1. 40 man rosters.
2. Only players with cards are eligible for the draft. Sorry for those who scour minor league scouting reports, but if the guy doesn't have a card, he's not eligible. (We have now adopted the policy of ANY SOM card -- even the "x" cards -- which we actually used last season too). ***
3. Protect a minimum of 25, a max of 30, player choice. This should be enough so that those who need it have rebuild room, but not so little that a team can completely overhaul overnight.
4. A 15 round FA draft around this time each year, NOT SERPENTINE.
5. Your stadium is your stadium. Its part of the draft, and you're stuck with it, no matter how much Strato changes its ratings. If we're here in 5 years, then we can talk about switching stadiums, but let's say the initial lease is at least 5 seasons. (We later agreed to let them be changed after 3 years) ***
6. Trade rules- Hopefully, we don't need any. Draft picks are tradeable.
With divisions, we decided that, after the first season, divisions will rotate according to record. The East will be the A league. Kind of the English Premiere League theory. (Thanks again for the reminder here FD!) ***
I also sincerely hope people are in this with the long-term in mind. It would be disappointing if someone tries to draft a one-year wonder, then bails out next season. (Kind of an "ironic" statement!) :wink: ***
