I really wanted to take Toffoli but was afraid that I was "going to run out of time". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 This rule change seems to benefit some, I'm not even sure what's changing. I know I don't have any prospects yet, so does that mean I'm hooped? I'd vote yes for a stricter time limit on making picks. Do some GMs really not know who they want by the time it's their turn the next day? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do some GMs really not know who they want by the time it's their turn the next day? I most definitely do not know. I have ideas, but at no point has a couple days gone by and the players I was hoping to take still been there for me to take. Even this morning my 2 picks were Wolf, and Toffoli. Both those players went just picks before my own and I had to pivot. I'd vote no right now for a stricter limit. I feel like my picks have come in quite quickly overall, but it's summer. People shouldn't be glued to their devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People shouldn't be glued to their devices. I don't think we need stricter times yet either, but the sooner we get this done, the sooner we can enjoy the rest of our summers. The ones that have to deal with the brunt of it are the ones running the show as they have to keep up to date on everything. Then they have to deal with free agency afterwards and so on.

Gator Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share Posted August 9, 2023 We have got the 20 votes needed to change the rule. You will now only be permitted to have 1 2022 or 2023 prospect in the first 11 rounds. Meaning you cannot select a 2nd one until round 12. You can still only have a max of 3 by the end of 20 rounds.

Primal Optimist Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 If we keep at roughlyva round a day we are good, but I am thankful for the cut down in timers each Monday. Being potentially skipp3d is less a worry after about round 20, imo. That wouldn't really alter a franchise and I am sure I will be a skip candidate every Thursday as I am in meetings pretty much all day Thursdays. I plan to send a list though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's any consolation I am kind of getting screwed in my strategy as well by the change, but it's for the better of the league in terms of fair playing field. I will own the mistake, and deserve any backlash that comes of it. It should have been a thing from the start if I took the time to think it over. It was eating at me for days, and when it was brought to my attention by another GM it started the discussion. We discussed the idea of putting it up to a vote with the league. We decided a vote would be the way to go, and it passed with 20 votes (very quickly). I do apologize for the inconvenience. I ask you to respect the ruling, and promise to to my best to avoid these circumstances in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It alters the category of when certain types of players. And is already impacting the draft. Please send a screenshot of this vote in the leage vote section, with a notification and a reasonable time frame (like before the draft). How do I even vote on something without a ballot? https://discord.com/channels/1132349119680221239/1132432977457057903 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each of the last three rounds I made specific selections based on strategy as to when players would & would not potentially slip / be taken. I even started out taking my one and only 22/23 1st early having a strategy based on the rules from the start. It changes the values of the no 22/23 prospects and veterans. You need to back this off. Nobody posted in the thread that I saw. So who's idea or feedback was it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the message was deleted I'll never know. Why we are changing rules mid draft I don't understand. All that being said, its a good change. Essentially: instead of waiting until the conclusion of round 10 for the limit on 2022 or 2023 prospects to expire, we wait until the conclusion of round 11, thus the teams who were lower in the round 1 draft order get the first crack at a 2nd 2022/23 draftee. You still have an opportunity to pick your 1 before that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
