IP Limit Violation Tracker

[rcankosy]

I am not aware of any site with a hard cap.  My understanding is that it would be a programming nightmare, because it would involve real-time site maintenance.  We always considered saving our SP starts until the last day to be part of the overall strategy in my other leagues.  IMO, we badly over-reacted to a non-issue here.

Roy, you have an excellent point.  Can we move back to a soft cap of 65IP?

[Dan Wood]

Or we could go to a start limit. Increasing the value of both good pitching and relievers. Just saying.

Money ball has a soft cap of 75 IP and 9 GS and works well

anything lower than 75 IP will just make it a hitters league


What ever the final rule is it should be established before FA

Please see here for the final decision for 2013:

Roy will probably update the rulebooks soon.

It says 8 GS and 65 IP

Are these soft caps or is there a penalty?

[rcankosy]

The RC approved a hard cap with penalties.  Please see the following post.

Can these posts be put in the rules?

Since the league moved to a 65 innings pitched limit this offseason, it has become clear that there is a loophole in the scoring system. In order to rectify the situation the RC has taken the following steps.

1. Howe and Corey will be monitoring the final weekly tallies for IP.
2. 1st and 2nd offense for crossing the 65 IP threshold will result in a loss of any pitching points over 65 innings pitched.
3. Third offense results in a loss of points over 65, and an additional 100 points for the week.
4. Fourth offense and beyond will result in a loss of ALL pitching scoring for the scoring period.

Please vote on one of the following three options:

1. Keep the 65 IP limit with NO GS limit
2. Institute 7 GS rule PLUS 65 IP - whichever happens first (like Moneyball)
3. Institute 8 GS rule PLUS 65 IP - whichever happens first (like MB)

Option # 3 wins by a margin of 5-3. Therefore, our new rule will be 8 GS plus 65 IP.
