Rules for Proposals and Deadlines.

Dear Fellow GMs of the FUNHL:

It is my duty to send out an update covenant to you all indicating many of the changes, like going online to name a large one and Waiver Wire changes taking effect this year (players on the Wire for 1 week only for bids and then into the ether).

With Rule Changes coming, maybe, we should review the voting system...see attachment. 

In particular, small changes, say IR or WD2 changes, pre-ED, one needs a 9/12 (75%) majority.  (Rule 54.1)  Major changes that may affect the nature of the pool [like number of drafted players, positions, etc., generally 12/12 is needed at the ED or after.  Now, I do not suspect that sort of drastic proposal, but I have heard some interesting talk.

Goalie stats are returning to 3.60pts per 60 minute shutout, or 0.06pts/min after the frustration of last year's experiment with 3.49999.  This is not a proposal, but a change in the data.

Doug, please check my covenant revisions, in case of redundancy.  As so you all...

Send me any proposals for me to send out to everyone by email and blog.  Votes come to me in private or to the Blog.  The Deadline for proposals is this Friday by 6 pm MST.  We have thrown around a lot of ideas, time to get serious, or not.  Voting will occur up to Sept 27th at 6pm mst and then results will be tabulated and emailed out and blog posted.

I expect 12 votes.  9 yea votes to carry a proposal. 4 nays votes to defeat.  A lack of a vote is a no vote, as is abstaining.

This email will posted on the Blog later tonight.

To clarify - if 9/12 is enough to carry a proposal, then 4/12 is needed to defeat

Correct

9 is required to pass (for following season), 4 to defeat.

12 to pass for current season

Technically the rules do not distinguish between current and subsequent seasons. Rule 54.1.

We have always taken the position, however, that changes that will fundamentally impact a team's existing roster will be implemented in the following season - to let teams recoup prospect picks or swap prospects/FPs to reflect the upcoming changes.

aka the kill Bill situation ,.. pool putting through a rule that murdered Bills' team and caused him to leave the pool ...

i also swear we needed 12/12 to put in a rule for an upcoming season (i.e 2017-18) ;;.;. but 9/12 for next season (18-19)

if we say 9/12 can change rule for 17-18 ... that can really hurt a team ... but looks like this is what we are doing

i am going to vote NO to any rule proposal eliminating WD2 ... unless we also get rid of IR, get ride of waiver wire, and continue to have a cost to promoting a prospect just to be up front
