Measures 35 and 38 pass.
Here is the text again:
MEASURE 35: "CLARIFICATIONS"
The goal of this measure is to simplify and clarify rules already in place. Voting YES will affect all changes.
1) All references to the prospect draft rounds will be changed from Spring/Summer to Rounds 1-4, with the first two rounds still taking place in the spring and the second two rounds taking place in the summer.
2) As it stands now, the two seasons are played following the Spring Draft and in "August." We will keep the former and change the latter to "following the Supplemental Draft."
3) As it stands now, all prospects must be promoted after two years regardless of whether they were drafted in the Spring or Summer. We would adjust the language (currently: "Owners control the rights of their prospects for two years. At the end of two years (from the year of draft), a prospect must either be promoted to the MLB roster or released.") to read like this: "Owners control the rights to their prospects for two years. At the end of two years (from the year and season of the draft), a prospect must either be promoted to the MLB roster or released. A prospect drafted in the Spring must be promoted by the Spring draft two years later, and a prospect drafted in the Summer must be promoted by the Summer draft two years later."
MEASURE 38: "FIRST ROUND DRAFT CLOCK"
The goal of this measure is to encourage timely drafting. Currently, there is no clock during Round One of all drafts. This measure would change that to a lengthy but not unlimited 24 hour clock. All owners will be required to check in on the message boards prior to the start of the draft to eliminate any chance that an owner will be skipped.
New Language (applied to all drafts): "The First Round will operate on a 24-hour clock. All owners must check in on the message boards before drafting may commence."
Spreadsheets are fully updated.
Here are necessary cuts following trades:
ThisisRay - Must cut 1 rostered player & 1 prospect.
Smitty - Must cut 1 rostered player.
