The new SuperQuince wasted no time wielding his new found influence on 2011 rulemaking. Rushing Russians is strongly urging a switch off the AllStarStats host platform. It’s the same plea every year, but the SuperQuince actually did some research. Gathering opinions in comment area. The main obstacle is still changing our free agency and waiver rules.<\/p>\n
From SuperQuince.<\/p>\n
I’m sure you’ve looked into this in more detail than me, but from what I can tell CBS can keep track of contracts (there’s a section called salaries\/wildcards in the league set-up that allow for salaries, contracts and up to 3 other variables).<\/p>\n
The problems I can see with CBS are mainly associated with our waiver process, but could conceivably have a work-around. \u00c2\u00a0The two problems I see are as follows along with possible workarounds. \u00c2\u00a0Again, apologies if you’ve already thought this through and rejected it:<\/p>\n
1) You’d have to impose some artificial system like I said in my original e-mail to separate waivers claims from free agent bids (e.g. owners are instructed to bid $0 on Tuesdays for players on waivers and $1+ on Wednesdays for players that are Free Agents). \u00c2\u00a0The problem with this is that people couldn’t set free agent bids in advance of Tuesday like they can now. \u00c2\u00a0The other problem is that people would probably mess up their bids on accident all the time (at least initially) and that could lead to some chaos.<\/p>\n
2) The second issue seems to be that the only options they have for resetting contracts are when a player is “dropped” or for them “never” to reset. \u00c2\u00a0We’d have to use “never” since we have waivers (where players keep their designations after they are dropped). \u00c2\u00a0That means that the commish would have to manually update contracts on every dropped player who clears waivers each week.<\/p>\n
So those are two things we’d have to overcome, unless I’m missing something…<\/p>\n
