FYPD Rule Change Request

[Flash]

8.) Any GM in the league may propose a general referendum to be considered by the entire league if at least eight (8) member co-sponsor the referendum.  A referendum must receive at least 16 votes to be implemented—this would be a simple majority of 15 + 1.

This Rule request has been on the Board since November 18th and it has received 8 supportive posts.  Therefore, it meets the necessary criteria for a referendum to be voted on by the league.  After the holidays, and in conjunction with our impending free agency period, a referendum will be posted so league members can have the opportunity to cast their vote.

I like 12 hours better, or even just 10.

12hr clock would be better and probably easiest solution

[Paul S.]

12 hours is good.  Interest after the 4th or 5th round is over.

I think 12 hours is good, especially if it makes it easier for you.  No need for sleepless nights.

[BHows]

Go with the 12 hour clock for all rounds if it makes things easier

At the end of the day you run the draft.  It should be up to you unless other people want to help out with the draft.

Agreed.  Whatever works for Flash is fine with me.  I'm fine with Flash's proposal of a uniform 12 hours for all rounds.  If it were up for consideration or a vote, I'd also be OK with adding an overnight clock freeze and/or making the time to pick even longer than 12 hours -- but if there's something about either of those that Flash dislikes, then enough said: into the circular file they go.

When would that pause begin and end?  Midnight to 6:00 am?  Isn't that just extending the 8 hour clock to 14 hours every night?  Seems to be more of a moderator's nightmare than a solution.

We did it in other leagues.  It doesn't always extend the clock as teams can still pick.  Just the clock stops.  At the end of the day you run the draft.  It should be up to you unless other people want to help out with the draft.

I'd prefer to keep it the way it is but have a pause of the clock for overnights.
