Same as the other one. The SUBJECT line limits me to 100 characters so I cant list the whole question.

I didn't know this was an issue. This seems to take the strategy of selecting a ballpark and a draft card and turns it on its head.
Why do we want this? Willing to listen to good reasons.

While I have been in hundreds of leagues where I wished I could I don't like the idea because the entire league could change 24 hours before opening day.

I can't believe this is even a question. Everyone jockeying for an edge by changing their ballparks a day before the league starts? I don't think so! Would make it impossible to prep your team until the day before first pitch.

Live drafts work this way now. It hasn’t been a problem.

This is a SOM issue, wasn't my issue. Just wanted to include it for consistency to SOM's vote. However, in the case of Barnstormers, often I "catch" players with a potential stadium grouping violation. If we have time to change it before first pitch to avoid a penalty we have to put in a ticket with SOM and "hope" they take care of it in time. This would come in handy here. But again, I didn't ask for this.
