kryptonite Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 League started in 1993. Was a re-draft up unitl '97 when we voted to keep 2 players. In '99 we kept a starting line-up and have been like that since. Owners trade away draft picks, players, and points (used for bidding on FA) for the next season. Eight owners have declared that they would like to re-draft in '05, shuffle the deck and start fresh. Two other owners do not agree. These two have deals already made for the 2005 season. "I would not have traded so-and-so if I knew that we were going to re-draft in '05." Teams have been busy building for next season. We thought of having two or three owners evaluate the trades for next season and declare their value for 2005, IE. the first round of our keeper draft, keeping a full line-up, is like drafting a 6th to 10th round player. So neutral owners can help evaluate what is fair compensation for the next season. Question is, as a commish, do you allow this to take place in 2005 or in 2006, thus giving everyone fair warning? Going forward, we would write in our rules that every 5 years we would push the re-set button, just to keep things fresh. Comments? Thanks.

theeohiostate Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I would not allow a re draft for next season, push it to 2006 so everyone can prepare accordingly, even if it's a majority decision now, it would be very unfair to those who have prepared for next season's draft.

Big Country Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I'll be the 4th to say that majority or not, it is unfair to penalize the owners planning to have next season be a keeper league and pull the rug out from them. Push the restart to 2006 so everyone is treated fairly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Yup ... you have to wait a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I don't know what else needs to be said here. All rule changes in my local are brought up at the end of each fantasy year at the party, and are voted on before any drafting takes place before a year. In this case, the fair thing to do is to press your re-set button for 2006, only because you have owners that have begun their strategy for 2005.

Squeegiebo Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I agree with everyone else. Obvioulsy teams have been making decisions based on long-term results, which may have been much different if they had known the reset was gonna go down after this season. You should wait at least one season to wipe the slate clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gak Attack Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 If the majority were in the process of getting killed next season by these two overly powerful teams (?)...there is a middle ground: keep this league going like it is for next season, and begin a "fresh" league with the same owners next season as well (then drop the old league beginning 2006). While this is lame, and nobody wants to track two teams - especially against the exact same people... that's the only alternative that came to mind. Or, maybe agree to give those owners who made deals a compensatory draft choice (extra #3 pick, extra auction $, or something like that). Other than that, I agree with all these other posts ~ it really should wait if everybody isn't on-board with changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutrun Jellies Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Wait until 2006. 587265[/snapback] I think this is the best approach -- but you may lose other owners (who have lost interest in the current format) in an effort to keep the two who have "traded ahead". I think you risk disgruntlement any time you make a change of this magnitude and so, out of stronger respect for "lets play this as planned" over "I'm bored with my sucky guys", I waive my flag from atop the 2006 bandwagon...

pzarvell Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 That's very close (if not technically) changing a major rule during the season since planning is a big part of keeper leagues. I'd push it back to 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutrun Jellies Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I have nothing else to add here expect to say that I have nothing else to add. 589038[/snapback] Which in itself, adds. I still think 2006 is the right answer ... but I may have forgotten the question. Oh, yeah. Redraft ... Have you decided what to do yet?

AtomicCEO Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 We wanted to implement a sort of a re-set, so last year, we implemented a 3 year contract rule. Every three years a player would have to be tossed back into the pile. It was retroactive for that year... so this year is the third year. We still do 2 keepers, but there is a bit of that reset element in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
