Rule Change Proposal
« on: January 13, 2014, 02:28:29 PM »
I would like to put it out there about potentially changing the rule for final bid time from 72 hours to 48 hours to win a FA.  72 hours seems a bit excessive to me.  We promote activity in this league and I think that 48 hours is long enough for a bid to stand to be final.  I wanted to get the thoughts of the rest of you on this rule.  Thanks everyone!

I agree with Papps here 100%
I do not like the 72 hr rule as we do promote being active here and if someone cannot get on here in 3 days or less they do not belong .Look at the leagues I'm in and I work a lot as of lately and I  manage to find the time cause I like it here.

48 also lessens the "poacher effect"

I'm new here, but agree with all these comments. I much prefer a 48 hour window.

This proposal has merit and I will put it on the list to bring up with the RC. Since FA has started with the same 72 Hours clock that FGM has always used this change will not be going in to affect during this FA season. I am also not really for changes to happen during a season. If the RC approves to change the clock to 48 hours it will likely start with FA in 2015.

This is a not a major change that has to wait until next year.  I can see keeping it 72 hours for CI's but we should be able to change it if voted to pass for this year.  It seems like people are on board with the idea.  What about opening up the discussion to including it to be changed for this year?  I can see waiting until next year for something that affects rosters or resigning players but this rule doesn't affect much.  I'd be ok with anything the group decides but FA is open for one day, I don't think it will hurt for this to go live when the next position opens up.  Just my two cents.   :thumbsup:

I agree with Chris. I also agree with Shooter on big changes not taking effect, but if the league is in harmony on this, why not, it's our universe :thumbsup: this is a minor rules tweak and one that helps the league by and large.  I can't see someone planning on using 72 hrs as part of their strategy...

I don't see it being a major change for strategy of the league but this league has been around for 5 year and has used a 72 hour clock for the entire time which would still make this a major change for the league and the GMs in the league. The more I think about it changing it after FA might not be a bad time to do it if the RC approves the change. I still don't think changing it during or between portions of FA is a good idea. CI position may push into the P portion of FA and then the rule change might be confusing to some GMs.

I will say that I am ok with whatever is ultimately decided. One thing to keep in mind is that no one has been won yet in FA, so theoretically the change could be made seamlessly.  I love this league! :koolaid:

  • indiansnation: Giants To Sign Blake Snell March 18th, 2024 at 8:45pm CST • By Anthony Franco 8:45pm: Snell receives a $15MM salary for the upcoming season and has a $17MM signing bonus that will not be paid until 2026, reports Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle (on X). That indicates he’ll be deciding on whether to opt out of a $30MM salary next winter, although the delayed date on the payment of the bonus reduces the team’s short-term commitment.  8:23pm: Blake Snell is in agreement with the Giants on a two-year, $62MM contract that allows him to opt out after the upcoming season, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post (X link). San Francisco adds the defending NL Cy Young winner to the top of a staff that also includes last year’s runner-up, Logan Webb.  ADVERTISEMENT
