The Final Vote Tally - Only Prop#8 passes

Rule Proposal Voting

FOR A PROPOSAL TO PASS IT WOULD NEED 9YEAS OUT OF 12 RESPONSES. IF IMPLEMENTATION IS FOR THIS UPCOMING YEAR IT MUST BE UNAMINOUS.

AN ABSTAINING VOTE IS CONSIDERED A NO VOTE.

THANKS TO ALL 12 Gms WHO TOOK PART IN THE DEBATES AND THE VOTING!

FOR THE RECORD, ONLY PROPOSAL #8 PASSED. HERE ARE ALL THE RESULTS:

#1. Proposed

That GMs be granted the right to waive their team's Franchise Players. This shall include use of both waiver wire and waiver draft. Upon being waived the former FP loses all status. Further to this, I propose that the requirement that a team always have 2 Franchise Players be amended to be a limit of 2 Franchise Players instead.

Implementation:
To start 2010-2011 season

DEFEATED: 4N; 1A; 7Y

#2. Proposal:

That limited Entry Draft trading be allowed. It is restricted to an exchange that takes place post-slot-selection draft between only two GMs, who agree to swap BOTH their 1st and 2nd round ED picks for the current year in exchange for some other consideration in the form of other traded assets like prospects, RFAs, FPs, and/or PrD picks being exchanged.

Trading of other ED picks, or single picks, would not be permitted

Implementation:
2011-2012 season

DEFEATED: 6N; 1A; 5Y

#3. Proposed:

Initial lottery chips (baseline) based on final finishing order as follows:
First place - 12 chips, through to Last place - 1 chip

Earned chips - over the course of the season, a team earns an extra chip for every H2H win in the H2H regular season (Playoffs are rewarded with the Challenge Cup, and only include partial teams hence they are excluded)

DEFEATED: 10N; 1A; 1Y

#4. Proposed:

That a GM holding rights to an RFA at the Entry Draft be allowed to match with any available FP replacement pick or the first available non-FP replacement pick, at his or her discretion.

Implementation:
To start 2010-2011 season

DEFEATED: 9N; 1A; 2Y

#5. Proposed:

- Teams that announce they are intending to select a new FP are seeded at the front of the draft.

- If more than one team is intent on selecting a new FP they are seeded 1st and 2nd (etc.) based on their lottery rankings.

- Teams that are re-seeded are also re-seeded at the end of the 2nd to reflect the snake draft. So if Corey is moved up to pick #1, he is also moved to pick #24 for the purposes of the 2nd round. After the 2nd round lottery placement is in effect.

- Only unrestricted free agents may be drafted by reseeding. No RFAs (even ones own), or prospects may be selected. If a team is going to be re-seeded it must be with the express purpose of selecting an otherwise unrestricted free agent.

DEFEATED: 8N; 2A; 2Y

#6. Proposed:

Be it resolved that the rules are acceptable as they are and that a moratorium on changing the rules be implemented for the next five years barring unanimous decision that there is an emergency need for change.

DEFEATED: 9N; 1A; 2Y

#7. Proposed:

that we modify the current Injury Replacement rules to create two categories of IR: the current form of IR would be Re-callable IR in that the injured player can be brought back up by the GM should they return to health but the cost is, as it is now, your first (or subsequent) WD pick in the upcoming WD; the new category of IR would be Long-term IR in which the player (presumably an FP or valued and promoted Prospect) is placed on IR for the remainder of the FunHL season and can NOT be recalled by the GM until the following season. Long-term IR would not "cost" the GM anything other than the player on Long-term IR would not be available to the GM again that season.

DEFEATED: 5N; 2A; 5Y


#8 Proposed:

Removal of the last place ENTRY-DRAFT lottery bonus.

Chips based on final finishing order as follows:
First place - 12 chips, through to Last place - 1 chip

PASSED 9Y; 1A; 2N

#9. Proposed:

All teams get one chip in the lottery. (can't work in concert with #9)

DEFEATED: 8N; 1A; 3Y

#10. Mike Getta's SSP lottery proposal

DEFEATED: 7N; 2A; 3Y
